Etymology
The name TRX2 is derived from the Ancient Greek word trichos, meaning hair and the number 2 stands for second generation.

Formulation
TRX2 contains amino acids and vitamins. Its ingredients are L-carnitine, L -tartaric acid, potassium chloride,   L -leucine, isoleucine, valine, nicotinic acid, and biotin.

Product description
Similar to minoxidil, TRX2 works through small proteins called potassium channels. The product is a dietary supplement, not a drug, and hence is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
