Shiseido Develops Hair-growth Substance Adenosine
03 Dec 2004



Tokyo (JCNN) - Leading Japanese cosmetic manufacturer Shiseido (TSE: 4911) announced December 1 that it has discovered a hair-growth property of adenosine, one of the in vivo substances that exist in the human body.

The company's research shows that adenosine directly affects hair papillae, a key in hair production; consequently, the output of FGF-7, a hair-growth factor, is increased.

Based on this discovery, Shiseido has developed an innovative hair-growth substance, Adenosine, and has received approval as an active ingredient for medicated cosmetics from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.

The company plans to launch Adenogen, a hair-growth product for male-pattern baldness, on March 21, 2005.

Thought it was interesting.

Yeah, we had a thread going before that mentioned that. I'd like to read the studies (in English or course).

Cool! So is this stuff another topical or does it come in pill form?

 

[Temples]

Topical, I believe.

I ran a search on it and its on a few sites, I e-mail the company and will let you know what I find out.

This could be good news as far as another treatment for male pattern baldness!

Yes it does sound very good. I wonder how easy it will be for us Americans to get this stuff when it does come out.

The new product, called Adenogen, was effective in stimulating hair growth in 94.1 percent of the people who took part in six months of clinical tests, company officials said.

The product, which will retail for about 6,500 yen excluding consumption tax, is to hit store shelves in March, with Shiseido projecting annual sales of 6.5 billion yen.

A little more info for you folks

6500 yen is about 64 dollars.

That's not too bad. As long as the sh*t works, money worth spending.

The biggest question would be if it is available for purchase in other countries. I remember reading an article about this stuff and they mentined that there was another fad in Japan a few years ago regarding an male pattern baldness treatment.

I hope it will be.

All I have to say is that Japan is activellly looking for male pattern baldness solutions. I think more so then any other country!

I realize he was "just joking" but that was a very stupid and racist remark.
