Nisim

Many of the commercial hair loss treatments are beyond the reach of FDA regulations precisely because they are not classified as medications. Despite the importance of treating androgenetic alopecia at its onset, doctors are reluctant to prescribe these products while the pharmaceutical companies are not exactly falling over themselves to conduct thorough evaluations on the ability of such products to treat pattern hair loss.

Given this premise, consumers like you are left with no option but to either try your luck at using these natural hair loss treatments or resort to a more aggressive approach to hair loss treatment – take oral medications that affect your entire body. However, if you can afford to waste your money and allot your precious time, then you can try using such natural products. Who knows they might be of some miracle for you?

One of the manufacturers referred to earlier (that claims to promote healthy hair and hair regrowth) is Nisim, whose product line of "natural" hair loss treatments in the form of herbal-based shampoos and conditioner have the ability to provide similar to or better results than minoxidil. The company has been producing hair loss treatments since 1993.

Nisim hair loss products contain 160mg Saw Palmetto extract (45% free fatty acids), and 50mg Pygeum Africanum extract (2.5% beta sitosterol). The company claims to have conducted independent studies showing the efficacy of the Nissin shampoo in curbing early signs of hair loss and induced hair regrowth in most of the participants.

Nonetheless, it is still too early to gather observed and clinical results regarding the effectiveness of the shampoo. It is perplexing on the part of consumers for Nisim to brandish clinically-proven-to-control-excessive-hair-loss-and-regrow-hair statements populating their entire website without valid scientific proofs.

Nisim shampoo claims to exhibit a similar mechanism of action to the drug Rogaine (minoxidil) by improving hair density in thinning hair. The saw palmetto extract in the shampoo, meanwhile, is a known DHT-inhibitor, which is believed to prevent the further reaction of the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in shrinking hair follicles associated with androgenetic alopecia.

Aside from the Saw Palmetto extract, Nisim shampoo is also formulated with Nitroxide compounds that is said to enhance the absorption of other ingredients such as amino acids and bionutrients to fully benefit the entire scalp. Although hair loss is predominantly a DHT issue, clogged hair follicles can also hamper new hair production.

Nisim shampoo also contains carbon fatty acids, derived from herbal extracts that stimulate and nourish hair follicles. In addition, the formula also includes the amino acids cystine, cysteine, and methionine said to supply hair with the necessary building blocks to support its healthy growth.

In order to get the best results from the product, consumers must adhere to a ”Nisim regimen" of using the Nisim shampoo everyday (that could typically cost you $50 - $60 monthly on product purchase) as part of the NewHair Biofactor system. Nisim claims this hair care system has a success rate of up to 85 percent.

Since the product's introduction to the market in 1993, no Nisim shampoo side effects have been noted, but allergic reactions to one of the active ingredients may occur in some people. Nisim hair loss products are distributed to many hair salons in North America, and the company currently distributes its NewHair Biofactors line to more than 30 countries worldwide.

While the company's hair loss research spans 20 years, it also has innovated a hair-regrowth-preventing product ideal for treating smaller, sensitive skin areas like the face and genitals. The product, called Kalo, is said to prevent 10% of hair regrowth if hair was plucked from the root, as well as delay hair regrowth when applied after shaving.
