I just turned 24 and my hair has thinned alot in the last few years. Not sure what the hell, but anyway I started using this product about 2.5 months ago, and I have definitely seen that my nails quickly got stronger, I mean within the first couple of weeks they quit breaking. I've always had clear, paper-thin nails, even when I took biotin supplements for years I could almost look at them and they would break! They are more white and no longer clear, don't break or bend nearly as easy. As for the HAIR, well, I think it has grown slightly faster than usual but they say use it for 4 months to really notice the difference. I just got it trimmed less than 2 months ago and it normally grows very slowly, but I notice it already is in bad need of trim because its grown faster than normal. I think the texture is better too. I also use Nioxin system 2 (shampoo, conditioner, and scalp treatment) which cleans the DHT and buildup off the scalp pretty well, makes it manageable. However, I only wash my hair once a week, so I would definitley attribute the slightly faster growth to the Shen Min, and the nails well definitely Shen Min. However not the dramatic, thickening results I'd hoped for and read on some other reviews. Maybe that will come, it's still early! I've read that it upsets people's stomachs, well I'll admit at first it gave me bad gas (and I mean hot toxic ones)! But I don't have that now, so I guess my system got used to whatever herbs the product has in it.

I started taking this supplement on the recommendation of my hair stylist (I have thin, fine hair and she suggested it to thicken it up and make it more shiny). At first it didn't seem to do anything. By the end of three months (recommended timeframe to see if there is an improvement) I did think my hair was shinier and nicer. Unfortunately by that time I had been having some mild diarrhea and all kinds of gurgling noises in my intestines on a daily basis for about a month, which one weekend got really bad (hope I'm not grossing you out!). I stopped taking it and it cleared right up. I tried taking JUST ONE PILL a month later and had the mild diarrhea again. It does have a warning about not taking it if you have liver problems (which I don't), but please be aware of any intestinal upset you experience while taking this product, consider seeing your doctor if you have any major problems and definately stop taking it if you do.

This is not a good hair growth product. I've been using this supplement and the serum for 3 months. My hair continues to fall off. I recommend potential buyers to try something else instead.
