TACKLE THINNING AND GREYING HAIR WITH SCIENTIFIC OXFORD EXPERTISE - TRX2 ® AND MELANIQ ® MOLECULAR CAPSULES FOR HAIR
Worried about thinning hair? Does looking in the mirror sometimes sap you of self-confidence? Thinning hair can be a nightmare. It can lead to an emotional burden with low self- confidence and an impaired quality of life. Scientists from Oxford offer a potential solution. Their TRX2® food supplement is one of Europe’s leading hair support regimens and has been sold in over 100 countries worldwide. TRX2 is based on natural compounds and compared to drug-based alternatives has no side effects. Hair support regimens often promise a lot without delivering, but TRX2 is backed by cutting-edge science and has been thoroughly reviewed. According to the company’s study TRX2 works for 87% of men and women experiencing early stages of hair thinning. The results can be impressive. “Your hair will be bigger. Your confidence grows. You maintain your healthy hair”, says Oxford Biolabs founder Dr Thomas Whitfield. TRX2 tackles the problem on a molecular level. As a person experiences hair loss the function of potassium channels in their hair follicles diminishes, resulting in shrinking follicles and thinning hair. These potassium channels are small protein structures that control the transport of nutrients across the hair follicle’s cell membranes, and are essential for retaining the follicle’s full biological activity and function. For those experiencing premature greying, greying in general, or those who want to prevent greying before it starts, the company offers Melaniq, a scientifically formulated food supplement supporting normal hair pigmentation. The capsules come in brown glass bottles and cost around £48 and £41, respectively.

It may be that you’re not the sort of man to express his witty, considered opinions in the form of upturnedthumbs, face-palms and cry-laughs. Perhaps you think emojis are best left to those born after 1995, along with Snapchat filters and the #Friyay hashtag. Even so, most of us would admit to deploying the odd :-) in order to soften the impact of a blunt request or critical comment. It’s shorthand for “I appreciate your help” or sometimes “I’m not really angry” – a bit like signing off with an ‘x’, only more office appropriate, right?
Well, not quite. In fact, new research suggests even the relative Luddites among us could be making a major misstep. A study published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science found that the use of smileys in work emails – yes, even those of the ‘colon and close-bracket’ variety – cause recipients to perceive the sender as being less competent. According to the researchers, smiley emojis do little to increase “perceptions of warmth” and actually reduce your chances of receiving a helpful or informative reply. Now, none of this is to suggest you should adopt a stern and sober demeanour in the workplace. Quite the opposite: in fact, a study in the journal Social Indicators Research found that cheerful employees were more likely to receive positive appraisals and promotions over the following 18 months. It’s more a case of assessing your priorities; of choosing to convey a sense of assuredness over worrying about whether or not your colleagues ‘like’ you. So, when you can’t deliver a message in person, simply say what you mean then sign off. You’ll be less likely to feel ‘ ’ when you read their response.
