Anyone ever hear of Nutriol or "NuSkin" products?

[chromedomefear]

A friend of mine claims to have kept his hairloss at bay with a product called NuSkin, or Nutriol. I'm not sure which, but this is all that I could find on the internet:

Anybody have any feedback, experience, or knowledge?

My feedback is that your friend is a moron. Nothing in either of those products is going to save your hair.

In fact, it was pretty hilarious reading the descriptions of the key ingredient in Nuskin.

Blah blah blah... seaweed extracted from only the finest scientists in france, extracted through advanced technologies of germany, to bring you the ultimate cure in hairloss" lol Of course im paraphrasing but its pretty freakin hilarious with all their hype.

With their writing techniques, they could make dogshit sound like a technologically advanced ingredient that cures male pattern baldness.

Hey,

Nuskin = MLM/NM (Multi Level Marketing / Network Marketing) company. I've dealt with them.

I posted a response about another company called Usana which is worthy of noting. http://www.hairlosstalk.com/discussions ... ight=usana

However Nuskin do pour a lot of money into their products that is for sure.

The ingredients are not standard in most treatments people use so there might be some benefit(?) however I'd hedge my money on trying Apple Polly before that!

I'd rather get 8 oz. of Seamollient from http://www.gardenofwisdom.com for under $5.90

LOL. Thanks fellas. I didn't and don't have time to research right now, but I knew I could count on this MB to give me the long and short, which is what I suspected.

BTW, WTF is Seamollient? And what is Apple Polly?

I would guess it's the polysaccharides from marine plant life like that product you mentioned..although I doubt it's that special French brown algae Nu SKin uses.

Here's an abstract from a study on Procyanidin B-2, which is contained in apple polyphenols.
