FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

LOCKrx Healthy Inside Oral Supplements FAQ

ARE SUPPLEMENTS "VEGAN"?

Our supplements are considered pescatarian, as BLOCK does contain fish protein, but no dairy. BLOCK is now available in a vegan version.

DO SUPPLEMENTS CONTAIN GLUTEN?

All the LOCKrx supplements are completely gluten free.

WHAT IS THE PROPER WAY TO BEGIN TAKING THE SUPPLEMENTS?

DEFENSE promotes a healthier gut by helping manage inflammation and optimal absorption of nutrients in BLOCK and GUARD supplements. Using DEFENSE daily is recommended to maintain a healthy gut microbiome and total body wellness. Proper way to begin taking the supplements involves a daily scoop of DEFENSE into your favorite hot or cold beverage, yogurt or smoothie and two pills each of BLOCK and GUARD daily.

HOW MANY MONTHS SHOULD I TAKE THE PRODUCTS?

A minimum of four months is recommended for best results. Continuing the LOCkrx Healthy Hair Program will provide optimal results.

I’VE HAD ISSUES WITH PROBIOTICS BEFORE. IS DEFENSE SAFE FOR ME?

DEFENSE does not contain probiotics. Our formulation was created with prebiotics which, unlike probiotics, helps to increase the healthy bacteria already present in the gut. Because prebiotics do not introduce any new strains of bacteria to the gut the potential for upset is minimal. If you have a sensitive digestive system, we suggest cutting the DEFENSE dose in half and gradually working up to a full scoop.

However, we have found that DEFENSE is even well tolerated by many with IBS.

THE DIRECTIONS ON BLOCK AND GUARD SAY TO TAKE TWO TABLETS OF EACH DAILY. DOES IT MATTER IF I TAKE THE FOUR TABLETS TOGETHER, OR SHOULD I SPLIT THEM INTO A MORNING AND EVENING DOSE?

There is no right or wrong way to take the supplements. For ease of use and to ensure the whole dose is taken and not forgotten, we recommend taking all at one time. However, if you prefer to split into two doses (such as 2 BLOCK in the morning and then 2 GUARD at night, this is fine too). The most important thing is to make sure the whole dose, two of each tablet, is taken daily.

I AM ALREADY TAKING OTHER HAIR SUPPLEMENTS. DO I HAVE TO TAKE ALL THREE OF THE SUPPLEMENTS FOR THEM TO WORK ( DEFENSE, GUARD, AND BLOCK)?

Our supplements were formulated to work best together and clinical testing showed excellent results using all three products as a program. However, they can be used as stand-alone formulas if other forms of similar supplementation are being taken. There is no need to duplicate ingredients.

Growth Factor 3X Home Treatment FAQ

IS BIO CLEANSE A DAILY USE SHAMPOO?

LOCKrx BIO CLEANSE may be used as a daily shampoo, as it is very mild and safe for all skin and hair types. It is formulated primarily for scalp health and as a prepping shampoo that is intended for use prior to the application of LOCKrx GF3X Home treatment, PRP, post hair restoration and other scalp procedures. It is intended for the purpose of preparing the microbiome of the scalp for enhanced absorption and best treatment results. You may use BIO CLEANSE on your scalp and add your regular shampoo on the length of your hair, if you prefer a highly suddsing shampoo, but BIO CLEANSE is designed to work with your treatment protocol.

WILL THE SHAMPOO STRIP MY COLOR?

No. This gentle formula is sulfate free and completely safe for color treated hair.

HOW OFTEN AM I SUPPOSED TO APPLY GROWTH FACTOR SERUM AT-HOME?

The home treatment kit contains four vials. Each vial contains one full treatment. We recommend one treatment per week. Three months is recommended for best results.

HOW DO I APPLY THE TREATMENT?

Your home treatment kit will come with a micro channeling treatment applicator.

  • Simply open the GF3X Vial and pour contents into the micro channeling applicator.
  • Screw the capped top of the micro channeling applicator on, but not tightly. *In order for the vacuum to create a flow of the serum, the lid cannot be too tight.
  • Remove the lid from the applicator, exposing the tiny .25 mm needles. These tiny needles are barely visible but feel slightly abrasive to the touch as they are only meant to exfoliate the top layer of keratin to allow best absorption.
  • Apply serum to areas of thinning hair on the scalp by turning bottle upside down and stamping into the scalp. You may also press the bottle down and slide or twist onto the scalp for more stimulation. If, after making several passes with the stamping application in all areas, there is excess serum in the bottle, do NOT save. The balance may be applied over all areas of the scalp with fingertips.

I ONLY RECEIVED ONE MICRO CHANNELING APPLICATOR BUT I HAVE FOUR TREATMENTS TO APPLY. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

You will soak/rinse your micro channeling applicator with alcohol for ten minutes after each use and re-use three more times to complete the treatments in your kit.

*Do not let anyone else use your micro channeling applicator.

Store is away in a safe, clean place until next use.

WILL THE GF 3X TREATMENT HURT?

While tiny needles are used to deliver the serum, they are micro fine and only penetrate to .25 mm depth which is just enough to allow tiny channels in the surface of the skin. Minimal to no discomfort is to be expected. The treatment is and should be completely comfortable.
