Is my friend fooling me?

[cmoneyt8ker]

ok heres the story...my friend who I see on a weekly basis had been going on an nw2 easy....last night we were hanging out and I saw that he was growing a perfect hairline....i mean a teenage hairline. He had never told me he was taking any medicine so I asked him about it. He said he wasn't trying to regrow his hair but he was trying to get in perfect shape for a half marathon in may. He has been taking this suppliment which I wont name because the mods will think i am spamming but he said thats all hes been using and i mean he is growing back serious hair.....the suppliment has TONS and TONS of stuff in it. What gives???? btw i bought some today.

tell us wtf the name of the product and we'll tell you if he's fooling you.

Why would the mods think you are spamming?

 

[Sean68]

tell us god dammit!

 

[sphlanx2006]

If he had name it, and it was a scam, i swear to god we would have all jumped on him accusing him for spaming.

Yeah maybe we would have, but he asked if his freind was fooling him and how are we suppose to answer if we don't even know what he is using. If he's rubbing bull semen in his hair then yeah we'll probably say he's being fooled, but if it is something that has been known to help people then maybe it is legit. It just seems silly to me to ask a question about a product without saying what it is.

 

[So]

This is a SCAM! I am not going to buy your supplement with "TONS and TONS of stuff in it".

 

[Garm1]

sounds like cr**

 

[Optimist]

At least he is trying to be clever about spamming. He might want to get a less revealing name than cmoneyt8ker though.

 

[cmoneyt8ker]

Here is what i've seen talked about here:

tumeric powder (curcumin)
horsetail (silica)
grape seed extract
green tea extract

Looks like a quality blend if you ask me. I would personally recommend getting Biosil for choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid (bioavailable silicon) instead of relying upon silica (silicon dioxide) from horsetail, though.

okay. the ingredients are excellent. everything you'd want for hair.

i already placed an order.

We need a breakdown of the quantities of each antioxidant, eg. the grape seed extract is 95% OPC, but there might only be 10/20mg of it.

Agreed. Good list of ingredients, looks like it'd be good for overall health, but without a breakdown of ingredients by amount, you can't really put faith in the product. Of course they could lie about how much of each ingredient is in the product, too. That's why I'd stick to brands I'm more trusting in: NSI, NOW Foods, Jarrow, EAS, Twinlab, ProLab, Optimum Nutrition (their all natural Gold Standard whey isolate will be my next order.)

Here's a similar blend at iherb.com, GSE only 20mg.

if you increase frequency of intake, that should increase the percentage/dosage of ingredients intake, right?

As badly as you butchered that question, no matter what you are asking, yes of course you'll get more of whatever it is you're looking to get more of.

20 mg of GSE here too:
