  • We can't guarantee our medicines any more than your pharmacist or doctor can guarantee theirs. No medicine works all the time for everyone. Anyone who guarantees that their medicine works is engaging in hype.

  • Well, I did say "tale" in my original comment, however, I'd be more apt to believe the efficacy of this if it WERE historical fact. What good is even telling the fable if none of what it's saying applies? Come on!

  • Sorry, but I've never met anyone who's hair actually stopped growing. Are you sure? or do you mean that your hairgrowth has slowed down?

  • @drshen No...over the years, it started to show signs of shortness and eventually my hair just stopped (from the naked eye). I went to bosely and and someone look at my hair, under a special device, and they said it is there but not growing. It's dormant. I just want to know if this will reverse the affect. From what I have researched, the worst case scenario is when you wake up, take a shower and your hair starts to fall out. Fortunately, This never happen to make at all. I'm now 31

  • @grimthereeper I can assure you that your hair is growing - perhaps more slowly than it used to. I cannot guarantee anything, except that this product is good for you and safe. I suggest taking 6-9 tablets a day for 2 months. If it's going to help, you will notice positive change in that time.

  • @drshen If you can 1000% guarantee is works then you have me sold. Also, are there other guys that can account for this product and that it works? As you know, there are many "hair grow products" that really do not work (at least the way us guys want it to) or one has to take it for life (which spells money and profit).

  • I'm 31 and i have hair loss. The only difference is that my hair did not fall out but stopped growing. Is this a permanent solution?

  • You cannot buy Dr. Shen's products anywhere in Louisianna. Has distrubution through private providers in home ever been considered. Large untapped market in this area.

  • @shesaid19 You can ask your local vitamin or natural food store to order it for you from UNFI.

  • If you look at people losing their hair you'll notice that their scalps are red and shiny with oil. Two tablespoons of flaxseed oil a day with meals will make the oily shine go away, and this product will most likely make the redness go away. It takes a month or two of consistent use but this is easily observable. Whole-grain rice and fruit to detox and clean your intestines. Stay away from sugar and wheat. Add dong quai, eclipta, raw rehmannia. This won't work if you're an unhealthy slob.

  • 1st you tell a tale about "old Mr. Hu" (who had completely white/grey hair) & could only eat from this plant (& how it turned it black again)....then you tell everyone that it can't work on YOU cuz you have completely white hair & it only works on PRE-grey/white....so you are totally contradictory which makes me doubt the validity of any of this. Who else noticed this?

  • @anmoroto Good point, except the story is not meant as historical fact. It is a fable. Nontheless the herb is still beneficial.

  • Comment removed

  • that is the whitest ass Dr. Shen I have ever seen

  • DHT is the culprit to baldness. Male and female pattern baldness is a result of DHT blocking follicular growth.  To free up DHT, you need to take Wild Oats (Avena Sativa). Natural Vitamin C (not fraudulent ascorbic acid) from foods or supps are responsible for the rest of the hair.

  • Noting true growing hair! once u loss ur hair that it I tried every thing noting cure my hair just wasted a lot of money

  • @meazi01 did you try fenugreek or saw palmento ?

  • @meazi01 its a business, you want results? a hair transplant will do just that.

  • Before and after videos usually look fake to me. When I see one, I assume the product is a fraud. Also, we don't make claims, we only report the way an herb has been used, which, in the case he shou wu, is thousands of years by millions of users. This carries more weight in my mind than a hundred before and after videos.

    I also respect the intelligence of the Chinese people. I believe that skeptics, who deny before they try, are  dis-respecting the Chinese people and culture.

  • I would love to believe this stuff works, but the fact is I can't find one single before and after video or sincere testimonial. If it worked, you could find one person with premature graying and do a mini-documentary on it and have a YouTube hit video that would bring you a lot of business. The fact that nobody does that leads me to believe there is not reversing of gray or balding.

  • I have a lot of good videos on baldness/hair loss. :)

  • I gotta say, Dr. Shen is sooooooo patient with a lot of the demanding people (asking anonymous questions) here. To all the little "know-it-alls": Why don't you open your silly little minds to another idea... one that's actually been around for thousands of years. It's no wonder Americans are viewed as they are. It's embarassing.

  • I just started taking this for my hair... lets see how it goes I have a few grays at 24.I will report any changes..I found this information very interesting.

  • @TheSoftGlimmer have you noticed a change? Is your hair thicker??

  • I am the guy in the video, and obviously I am quite mature - too late to restore my hair color. Shou Wu Pills are for PREmature gray hair. That is, for people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, who are graying or thinning early. Of course we could have used a hair model, but we're not into deception.

  • why the guy who is selling a product for reversing grey hair, has indeed grey hair ??

    because the product doesn´t work !!

  • I agree with the gent about Propecia... I took it before I married a woman from Thailand. LOW...LOW BLOOD PRESSURE from Propecia - or Rogaine Shampoo. After I had gotten married my wife made me eat all these Asian veggies and my baldness became reversed. These "Asian" herbs and roots / veggies work...FAR BETTER THEN SYNTHETIC FDA APPROVED CRAP...and its safer too.

  • @WarAgainstRacism what herbs and roots/veggies you ate that had your hair grow, I will be in Thailand in two weeks and I hope I can learn from your experience and grow more hair than now, I am 58 years old woman and my hair is very very thin and grey, I feel very unconfident all the time. I hope to have your help. Thank you very much in advance.

  • Hi. Mostly, my now ex-wife = ( _ _ who is half Laos / half Thai would make meals with her own herbs...she grew them in our yard - Keffer Leafs off of a Keffer Tree, fresh lemon grass, fresh basil (thai basil not American basil) and some other herbs that I am not aware of what they are called. At the end of the day - you want to eat Authentic asian food with NO MSG. Keep in mind they use a lot of coconut oil...that was great for my skin...but bad for the heart...

  • @WarAgainstRacism , coconut oil is not bad for the heart!

  • P.s. the point with my initial comment is that Asian culture and their medicines do work - they lived in a society that was NOT capitalistic so their products were designed to cure...and they do work. Stay away from anything that lowers your blood pressure...

  • @littlemisstutorial

    Because I'm old. The product is for PREMATURE greying.

  • @drshen That's not good enough!

  • Comment removed

  • Don't worry. The pills are absolutely safe. The issue is California proposition 65. I suggest you google it, or go to drshen(dot)com/proposition65.h­tm. There's no more lead in these than in chocolate. We often recommend it for pregnant women or nursing mothers. Whole Foods, which is very careful of what it sells, offers it in most of its California stores. All the ingredients are prominently listed on the label. Look again.

  • Hello again. I just got these pills in the mail today. I'm very concerned that it states on the bottle that it has lead in it which may cause cancer in humans over the long run. How does this product have lead in it when it is FDA inspected and GMP approved? How is that possible? And what other ingredients does this have in it? The ingredients aren't even listed on the bottle.

  • Hi. How many of these pills should the average person take a day to prevent, reduce or reverse gray hair? Should they be taken on an empty or full stomach?

    Thanks.

  • @PassionBurnsInside83

    4-6 to prevent, 6-12 to reduce or reverse. Best on an empty stomach.

  • I don't believe the ancients knew about DHT.

  • @drshen You didn't answer my question sir.. Was that a yes or a no? Does this product block DHT??

  • Isn't DHT the main cause of hair loss?? This video says nothing about DHT.. When testosterone comes in contact with the Alpha 5 enezyme to form the EVIL hair killing hormone DIHYDRO-Testosterone (DHT). It's funny because DHT also causes Prostate Cancer... It seems that Hair loss and Prostate problems are interconnected.. Does anybody have an explanation for this??

  • I'm selling ginseng and Chinese herbs, otherwise I would! ;)

  • He shou wu is also called "fo-ti". It is used to grow more hair and improve fertility. It is a longevity tonic in Chinese medicine. There is nothing better to help you grow hair than this herb and Dr. Shen has good quality herbs. I have my own herb website and I would gladly refer people to Dr. Shen and his site. His site has a lot of good information about Chinese Medicine and Chinese herbs.

  • @CroisMoi I personally use 2-3 pills twice per day for a long time. Within a month you will see new hairs sprouting in. This herb also can be used to balance blood sugar.

  • @CroisMoi

    Thank you. What is your website? If it's not asking too much, can you post a link to drshen (dot) com on your site?

  • if you want to get rid of grey hair take blackstrap molasses..It works! and cheap! buy at whole foods $3 table spoon in a.m. and table spoon in pm.make shure organic and unsulphured..

  • Comment removed

  • @OOTEBER

    Yes, by mail. You can use the shopping cart on drshen (dot) com anywhere in Europe.

  • @OOTEBER

    Yes, by mail. You can use the shopping cart on drshen (dot) com anywhere in Europe.

  • @OOTEBER

    Yes, by mail anywhere in Europe and Australia.

  • @drshen Does this produvct stop DHT??? DHT is the main cause of hair loss.. A wild form of testosterone that kills hair..

  • THIS WORKS, IT'S BEST TAKEN WITH FOOD

  • @MrLAEL36

    Thanks for your comment, but we think it works better when taken on an empty stomach. If you have a problem with digestion, then take it with food.

  • im w23 . i have one grey hair at the front of my head and one at the back. I WANT THAT TO GO AWAY. WILL THIS DRUG REVERSE THE GREY-NESS ?

  • @TheRey4you There's a good chance, but we make no promises. This is not a drug. It is an herbal medicine.

  • if the drug works then why in the blue hell do you look old and have thining and grey hair??????

  • @yasherif

    I look old, because I am nearly 70. Shou Wu Pills are for PREMATURE thinning and graying hair. Like if you're 30 or 40 and have thinning or graying hair. Though it can increase your energy and have other benefits, it doesn't make you young.

  • Dr. shen... does this have negative side effects?? I doubt it since it's just herb...please let me know if it has any drug interaction with other western med.. thanks

  • @bublegumdiva This product is considered safe to take with any combination of vitamins or pharmaceuticals.

  • Please disregard some of the idiots that are missing the point. They value cometic results over improved health. Hair problems are the least of their problems.

  • I know some one its not working for????

  • I wana buy this!!!

    way better the shit the drug store that R on sale!!

    I hope it actually works!!!!!!!!!!

  • would making a tincture or a hair tonic out of the capsules be as a effective as ingesting them?

  • @dragula23 Probably not as the formula is not suited for topical use. Another company makes a product called Meibo Shampoo. If you search google for: dr shen meibo shampoo, you'll find it on the first page.

  • Trust me, Chinese medicines are more effective and safe than drugs in the U.S. My friends took herbal med for hair, and his hair grow back in few months.

  • @bublegumdiva is this what your friends took -what exactly they took thanks for the info

  • i don't understand......i thought this was a promo for taking gray out of the hair....but what I gather here on these notes, is that it grows hair. hum.....

  • If you do an internet search you can find excellent quality He Shou Wu in bulk from various sources for about $10 a pound. By the way, this stuff worked well for me especially if you combine it with some other hair enhancing herbs.

  • Great video and I would like to try it out. Im 32 and starting to thin in my frontal scalp but mid stop as well as the crown. i have such healthy hair but its thinning more in the frontal ok so how much is the bottle and how long will it take to see results? and what site do i go to order this bottle thank you.

  • About the profit margin that seems to irk people. The cost of he shou wu is about $9. If you buy a bottle of vitamins at the grocery store, there is a 200% mark up. If you buy pharmaceutical drugs, you can have a 600% mark up and they will kill you. Which one will you pick? The one that works and does not kill you? I hope so.

  • I am an acupuncturist. He shou wu is amazing. It DOES work. You will start sprouting new hairs within about a month. Look along your hairline. I have several female patients in their 70's who were losing their hair, they grew in a lot of new hair with he shou wu. It is also use very effectively for fertility.

  • @CroisMoi that sounds great..im noticing some thining how many times and grams is recommended foti is the same ??? as this ? any info will be great thanks

  • I have bought this pills....how many pills do u i have to take daily ??....how many pills can i take at once..??

  • Are the he shou wu pills working for you?

  • I saw that you must take 3-4 pills every 4 hours. Is that true? Will it work if you take less?

  • For most people, 12 pills or more daily to improve a problem, half of that for maintenence.

  • Shou Wu pills are absolutely safe. Trace amounts of lead, occur everywhere in plants and water.

    Every whole plant medicine contains, and always has contained, trace amounts of lead. Ours test at an average of 1-3 ppm, considered safe and incidental by all international standards

    However, California has no standards for herbal medicine and requires warning at 1/2 ppm in food. California considers herbal medicines food.

    We meet all international standards for herbal medicine.

  • 1st october 2009 Do you know, that the Shou wu pills writes that has lead in it.? and Lead cause cancer. That's why we have the unleaded gasoline (benzine) and my question is, is it dengerous? yes or not?

    I am waiting for an anwer. Thanks a lot.

  • You people. This is a guy with a great head of grey thinning hair! Go figure!

  • Comment removed

  • What does this have to do with Shou Wu Pills, which are a safe herbal alternative to drugs like Propecia?  I suggest you try the Shou Wu pills. I can assure you they won't do you any harm. And, by the way, an anti-dandruff shampoo will not improve your hair loss or graying at all, so why even mention it?

  • @concerned11 All drugs are bad

  • @concerned11

    thank god, that the internet is such a good possibility to warn of things like that. to hear aunist people like you. thanks. I thought about taking it, but now I know I never will.

  • @concerned11 anti-dandruff shampoo? oh yeah like that's any fucking use at all!! I'd prefer to live on the edge buddy. Anti-dandruff shampoo doesn't give me much of a natural high I'm sorry to tell you. And also, I very much doubt you are right in what you say..

  • its really helps to prevent Grey hair ? im 24 got few grey hair...its can help or just fake ?

  • I'm 17 and my hair is thin, my classmates make fun of me, im thining in the side and top of my scalp, will this be a miracle? will it work on me? is there something else that will help?

  • @TheUltimateGamer91: Take a look at the naturopathic approach I placed on my site. I will leave it posted for a few days only.

  • the story he told about the chinese man is an urban legend , there is no scientific proof that this works or it would renowned world wide. Heres a classic example of a victorian quack doctor will feed you duff info to make a quick buck good luck buying this product but it will only burn a hole in your pocket and not make grays dissapear

  • No one is trying to fool anybody . We call this a legend on our website.  Nevertheless this herb has been used by countless Chinese people over many generations. That is very different than snake oil sold by "victorian quack doctors". Do you think all these people are gullable? Perhaps you need a little more education and respect for the Chinese people, culture, and their traditional medicine. A mere hundred years ago, who ever heard of Chinese food?

  • i have absolute respect for every culture , but what you are doing with this product is saying it will turn grey hair to its original colour. To which im saying to you there is absolutely no scientific proof that it will do what your sugesting . the legend is impressive but why would this man get seperated from his tribe in the first place ? and why would he only have the root of this plant to survive on ? all seems a little bit suspicious to me but thats just my opinion....

  • We report the traditional use of the herb. Our experience is that Chinese herbs work as reliably as Western medicine. Notice that we make no claims and offer no guarantees. And for your edification, many times of famine in China have forced people to live on the roots, bark and other normally inedible parts of plants. The properties of many herbs were discovered because of this. If you think "scientific proof" is the only valid source of knowledge, you have a lot to learn.

  • Now that I think about it, it seems that Asians have exceptionally less grey hair than most other people.

  • hey i am 17 and my hair is 80% gray will this help

  • It may very well help. This is what it works best at, premature greying. Give it a few months.

  • @realmadridshawn: Gray hair is a result of insufficient circulation, but still attractive once one lets go of media induced vanity.

  • @4chango yeah i understand i am used to it now after all this time.......Happy Thanksgiving

  • @realmadridshawn: Maybe it does not matter to you, but just in case - gingko biloba helps reduce graying hair by improving peripheral circulation. Of course there are other helpful herbs, but this simple.

  • @4chango im not saying it doesnt matter im saying im used to it now, but i am trying some herbal medicines now thnx

  • Absolutely no problem. Besides the shou wu pills are also a widely used geriatric tonic, so whatever the results on your hair, the herbs are just plain good for you and help to keep you feeling youthful.

  • Thank you Doc.

  • you said this product doesn't conflict with any other suppliment. I'm currently using propecia so can I use this too and enhance the affect?

  • i got the last two bottles of 200 pills from the shelve i will take this pills religiously i will post my results i even took some before pictures will keep you updated

  • Thank you Dr Shen for immediate response Im really optimistic and i will really try these pills Im 34 years of age and i have about 80% grey on my head i will definately try them

  • i live in los angeles where are these pills available

  • All Southern Cal .Whole Foods Markets carry them, also:

    Natures Mart ,

    Natural Vitality .

    Wild Oats Market - West Los Angeles Wild Oats Market West Hollywood

    All Pharmaca drugstores.

    Harmony Health

    Wild Oats Market - Santa Monica

    Co-opportunity Santa Monica Many other natural food stores as well.

  • Can you please tell me why there is lead in your product?

  • there's lead in this product as a result because lead is a naturally growing mineral in a lot of plants on earth, they dont purposely go out of their way to put lead in it, it naturally occurs and the amount of lead in it isnt enough to harm you anyway

  • Don't worry, there's no more lead in this product than in a bar of chocolate. For a detailed explanation go to: drshen(dot)com/proposition65(d­ot)htm. It's a shame that this misleading California proposition has made people as fearful of herbs as they are of drugs.

  • I'm sure your problems are complex and have nothing to do with shou wu pills. I suggest that you find a practitioner of Chinese herbal medicine.

  • Hey,y am i loosing instead of gaining,its been 3 weeks now,going on 4,what gives?i constantly feel tiredness,sleepy and my shins tend to itch a lot.Can u please highlight me.

  • @karladams4: You may need a more complex naturopathic approach. There is one posted on my site, but will only be displayed for a few days.

  • well come on, im paying top dollar for this crap, and im getting more hair on my balls than my head. what gives?

  • Sorry if you are dissapointed. Nothing works for everyone everytime. And we do say that a minimum of 1 month is required. However I can assure you that it won't grow hair on your balls, unless that's where your brains are.

  • How come your hair is thin and grey?

  • Give him a break, he's 90 years old and the stuff's working really well.

  • there are various products(shou wu pills) pertaining to this issue,which product can i use specifically,all?

  • Of course we'd recommend our own product, Dr Shen' Shou Wu Pills. We think they're the purist and the most potent.

  • i love the last part of the video lol

  • in case women taking these pills and got pregnant , does these pills will effect her health and the baby health!!

  • Shou Wu Pills are considered safe for pregnant women and for nursing mothers. They also do not conflict with any drug or other supplement.

  • Dr Shen, which stores sell your product in the NYC area?

  • Midas Well International 145 West 28th Street #9R New York NY 10001

    Natural Frontier 162 3rd Avenue New York NY 10003

    Health Nuts #3 2141 Broadway New York NY 10023

    Natural Frontier 1424 3rd Avenue New York NY 10028 (212) 794-0922

    Healthee Endeavors 3565 C Boston Rd Bronx NY 10469

    Your local health food store can order our products from United Natural Foods and other disributors.

  • Dr. Shen, if the pills promote better hair growth and pigment of the hair at a young age, will this effect continue on to the later stages of life?

  • I certainly believe it will, as shou wu is most often used by the elderly.

  • Is this the same company that makes Shen Min?

  • Absolutely not. Shen Min is a mixture of shou wu extract and vitamins. We believe that there is not enough shou wu in this product to really work.

  • Dr Shen, do you use this product personally ?

  • Yes I do.

  • Hi I am speaking from personal experience, believe me these herbs do work! I have been using them for the past month and never have I felt my hair to be so smooth, shiny and thick, they really work great and instantly as I use them they straight away got to work from the first use

  • Thanks

  • No problem. Herbs are like foods - composed of tiny amounts of many chemicals constituents. Herbs are about as likely to clash with supplements or drugs as foods would be.  Which is not very likely.

  • Thanks Dr shen your a star!

  • Have they actually done independent non-biased test studies on humans with this product? If they have, where are the findings and reports of the studies?

  • Controlled studies have been done on animals, not to test its traditional hair preserving effects, but rather to test its effect on glucose and lipid metabolism as a possible source of anti-diabetes and anti-cholesterol drugs.

  • Hi, Dr shen I have been using these herbs for a month now and think their excellent, can I please ask if can take them with other supplements such as probiotics or a multivitamin

  • Are these the best he shou wu herbs?

  • Without a doubt

  • Just ordered some myself. For anti-aging/regeneration, I think this is the best. Will combine these with "The Five Tibetans" exercises.

  • It's sold in many Whole Foods and other natural food stores, mainly in the West. It's also widely available on the web. Just google "dr. shen's shou wu"

  • what are the herbs again?

    thanx

    great vid

    :D

    nice story

    where is it sold?

  • A reasonable suggestion, however we tried several versions of this formula at our clinic over a period of several years, before we brought this version to market. It seems to be perfectly digestable by almost everyone. The trick is that we use a fu ling concentrate rather than just the milled herb, giving it heightened influence in the formula. At the same time this allows for a bigger dose of shou wu, giving the user the biggest bang for the buck.

  • Dr. Shen...!

    Good for you to stand up to these closed minded westerners! I'm a Caucasian westerner, BTW. (born and raised in America)

    People just fear what they don't understand.

    (A little constructive criticism...)

    Are you sure you put enough Fu Ling in this formula?

    Most Americans have bad Spleen/Stomach Qi.

    If I were designing this Rx , I would have added more herbs for nutrient absorption.

  • Thanks. On our website's hairloss page, drshen(dot)com/hairloss(dot)ht­m, we also recommend using xiao yao wan (aka Free & Easy Pills) for hairloss due to constraint of qi or stress.

  • I'm an Herbalist.These herbs DO work.

    However, not all hair loss is necessarily caused by a Jing deficiency.

    I use this formula with Xiao Yao Wan (old Chinese herbal formula)

    and a food compound B-complex.

    (That guy is right about the B vitamins)

    If I can, I will try and do a before and after shot on my dad, he wants to try it.

  • Hi everyone,

    Not sure about this EXACT product but he shou wu does work with hair, i've never had thinning, but my hair wasnt in good condition, always dry etc. my hairdresser has commented on how much better my hair is since using this product, my hair has also grown tons, it use to just stop growing. Obviously a healthy diet needs to be taken alongside this product, if you eat crap or take alot of chemicals in, its not going to do much good.

    google oceanvibrations, they sell it in the UK

  • Before and after pictures, please?

  • Do these chinese herbs actually work for premature hair loss/thinning ?!

  • Perhaps you think the Chinese people are extremely gullible, wasting their money on something useless for 4,000 years. Obviously some people think it works.

  • Look people,if it worked,then why is the doctor you see selling this product,look like joe lieberman? and why is his hair look awful,atleast get someone with beautiful hair to try and sell this product? Listen folks i've tried everything and i think the best results i ever got was taking vitamin b complex and vitamin a,try it for a month,and you will see tremendous results! I promise!!!

  • Maybe it's because Lieberman and I are the same age. This herb is used for PREMATURE aging, including PREMATURE greying and hairloss. It doesn't make you instantly young again. We don't use hair models, because we're not about fooling anybody.

  • Dr. Shen, I applaud your ability to respond to these jerks calmly. It is funny how anything on the internet is basically ruined by obnoxious assholes quick to fire off an opinion, knowing full well they can just as quickly forget about it and move on... to the next video or blog or forum to spew their frustrations at.

  • did u try this? does it work? the thing that gets me is that dr shen seems and speaks way 2 smart, but he always responds, almost seeming desperate to SELL his product. tell me.... do uthink this guy is busy ir just selling on u tube?

  • Well, it's been around for hundreds of years, the story of "Mr. Black Hair" is a classic, there are plenty of people who swear by it and it was the first Chinese export. I think it probably works. I just started using the Chinese drink He Shou Wu Chin which is an extract of these herbs. You can feel it enter your bloodstream. I have been using Nutrine's Odorless Garlic Shampoo & Conditioner and that really DID stop my hair from falling out, too. One year later and my hair is much thicker.

  • cool stuff. ur pretty good with ur guitar thing u got going on 4 u. whats the name of the mr black hair thing?

  • It's the same herbs that this guy is selling only in an extracted form. Once I'm done with my batch, I will probably be ordering this guy's pills because (1) the extract is 15% alcohol, which tastes a little disgusting, and (2) it is exported from China and with all the lead toys, etc. coming out of China these days, I sort of wonder about this horrendous-tasting black liquid I've been drinking. ;) Basically, you just want to get pure Fo-Ti/ Shou Wu (2 names for same herb). Take L-Argenine, too!

  • The truth folks is in the pudding as they say...

    Dr. Shen hasn't provided any naysayers with concrete scientific data proving claims that He Shou Wu 'Fo Ti' actually does what it is purported to do. I would like to know if Dr. Shen uses his He Shou Wu formulation, how long he has been using this formulation and why his hair appears to be thinning with white hairs?

  • The truth is, Thomas, that Shou Wu Pills are for PREMATURE greying. I am in my late 60s, hardly premature.

    As to "scientific data", who would spend the millions to obtain it? I can't. Not the drug companies who can't profit from herbs. Certainly not the FDA, which has never studied or approved an herb for anything.

    Say nay if you like, it's your loss. We'll survive. Plenty of others respect the wisdom of Asian cultures and understand the immense value of these natural medicines.

  • There's plenty of money to be made in this industry because you can bottle these things for pennies and sell them to unwitting western customers for hundreds of dollars.

  • It costs us far more than pennies to import the highest quality herbs, ship, store, test, screen, mill,tablet, bottle, and label them.

    It also costs big money to deal with insurance companies, agriculture departments, FDA, and all the administrators and lawyers who make sure the products are safe.

    And who finds our products to be expensive? Have you priced Western medicine lately?

    Please learn something about Chinese people or TCM or running a business before speaking further.
