i dont use it now. But when i was 21 and shedding like 200 hairs in the shower, i started using shen min pills and seriously, the shed dropped to like 0 overnight. It may have been coincidence. But either way, its a natural suplement, non prescription and pretty cheap..why not give it a try?? It seemed to work for me....but that was when my hairloss wasnt that noticeable.
