Shin Men hair products | Alpha Omega Labs

ne of the most visible areas of herbal research in recent years (if the advertising presence behind the resulting products is any reliable measure) has been "hair restoration" products. Make that attempts to reduce or eliminate male pattern baldness. (The pharmaceutical community has its own products and protocols, beginning with Propecia and Rogaine).

The effort appears to cross continental, as well as dramatically varying cultural, divides. We first introduced the concept in our Hair Follicle product, which embodies a traditional South American formula devoted to this purpose. (Shen Min Hair Nutrient is replacing this orally administered product.) The concept behind virtually all the systemic versions of these herbal products is fundamentally the same ---- suppressing the action of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which has scientifically been shown to be the guilty biochemical culprit.

The award for most widely publicized commercialization in this field, at least in North America, would probably have to go to Avacor (tm), owned by Global Vision, Inc. -- but there are other, less expensive products available which successfully accomplish the same thing in a large percentage of users.

After experimenting with a dozen products ourselves -- (this is an outsourced product, made by Biotech Corp. in the U.S. -- after all, hair regeneration is not an area of specialty within Alpha Omega's own research laboratories), we decided to introduce the two best products within the Shen Min family of hair products.

Our own finding was that the product fragmentation in this -- and other similar hair restoration product lines -- was largely unnecessary (i.e. marketing driven). Everyone appears to have a "men's" formula, a "women's" formula -- a "thin hair," an "oily hair" ... "dry hair" formula ... you get the picture.

Nonetheless, the two products we have chosen with this group are excellent. In most cases we found that taking the internal "hair nutrient" formula while concurrently using the Vitalize shampoo worked surprisingly well, thus earning Shen Min our approval -- for effectiveness, ease of use, and lower cost.
