controlled clinical trial report hair loss
improvement using Biotech¹s Shen Min
product
Bangor,
Maine Important new findings from
a preliminary clinical trial of Shen Min™,
a two-component herbal supplement designed
to reduce hair loss and promote healthy
hair, were announced today. Subjects who
completed the clinical trial and took
Shen Min demonstrated statistical improvement
over placebo groups in hair thickness,
perceived appearance, and hair loss improvement
at both the three (3) and six (6) month
intervals.
Specifically,
more than nine-in-ten (92.3%) of the subjects
that completed the Shen Min clinical trial
reported hair loss improvement. Additional
top-line findings of those subjects completing
the clinical trial include:
Perceived
Appearance: More than three-fourths (76.9%)
of the subjects taking Shen Min reported
some level of improvement in their perceived
appearance compared to fourteen percent
(14.3%) taking the placebo.
Thickness:
More than three-in-four subjects (77.0%)
taking Shen Min reported some level of
improvement. Additionally, there were
indications that actual hair growth was
attained but the Company is awaiting a
second trial to affirm those results.
Approximately
90% of the subjects taking Shen Min were
"happy" or "extremely happy"
with the product. Two-thirds of subjects
taking Shen Min reported that they would
continue to use the product while approximately
thirty percent (31%) were uncertain. More
than six-in-ten subjects taking Shen Min
reported that they would recommend the
product to others.

The paper, entitled "A Randomized,
Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Trial
to Determine the Effectiveness of Botanically
Derived Inhibitors of 5 Alpha Reductase
in the Treatment of Androgenic Alopecia",
explains the results of a successful trial
in which the ingredients that make up
Hair Genesis were found to be an effective
treatment for Androgenic Alopecia (AGA).

level of scientific scrutiny a naturally
