Do we ever rate a hair loss treatment positively. The answer is that we do (rarely). Why don’t we recommend the product on this page? We’re looking for clinically-researched ingredients, at the clinical dosage. There are a few hair loss products that have chosen to take this high road, and our favorite is Provillus. You can read our review or go to the official site.
If you want to get a good idea of the appeal of the hair nutrient Shen Min, the first thing you need is a translation of the name. In Chinese, “Shen Min” means “life/vitality.” Does that give you any hints? Shen Min is all natural, first of all. 100%. So you can still show your face (and hair!) at the farmer’s market or the organic grocery store. It’s made from He Shou Wu, the eastern wild rose. The goal is to make your hair grow thicker over time, and to bring some of your original color back into that gray you hate so much.
There are no official scientific test results for Shen Min, but what it claims to do is up the percentage of hairs on your head that are actually growing instead of staying stagnant or, even worse, falling out. It does this by lengthening the growth phase of each hair follicle. Pretty simple, right? Also, Shen Min helps you fight DHT, or De-Hydro Testosterone, often referred to as “the bad testosterone.” DHT likes to attach itself to your hair follicles, which prevents growth, more and more as you age. It’s one of the main causes of baldness in men. Shen Min can apparently block DHT, which is obviously a good thing.

The user reviews for Shen Min Advanced Formula for Men are mostly positive. Some common themes in the user reviews: many users point out that it takes a few months for changes to be noticable. This means you could be on your second or third bottle before your hair starts growing back or restoring its color. Several of the negative reviews had to do with not seeing results quickly enough for the price. So you just need to know what you’re committing to. The users who stuck it out have mostly great things to say, though several of them point out that there is a limit to Shen Min’s effectiveness. More than one user says that you shouldn’t expect more hair than you had before you started losing hair. One user, still using Shen Min after a few years, said the hair-related benefits leveled out after two years, but that he’d noticed other physical benefits, like a decrease in the appearance of cold sores, that have kept him taking Shen Min.
Users who are willing to commit to taking Shen Min for a long time claim to be somewhat satisfied. However, their satisfaction isn’t because they’re growing hair. They like the “secondary” features of good health and the placebo effect of “Ancient Chinese Secret”. If health is what you’re after, eat organic foods, drink more water, and try to detoxify your body in general. The fewer toxins you have, the more your body will benefit from nutrients. You don’t have to get that from Shen Min.
