Default Shen Min/Nourishair in the UK?

Does anyone know which shops stock Shen Min in the UK? (Without having to order off the internet).

Also....GNC Nourishair....I can't find it on the UK internet site, and the US site doesn't ship outside the US (drugstore.com). Are there any other internet sites that ship it to the UK?

Finally, has anyone had succes with these for hair loss?

Thanks.

Hi,

I used Shen Min for 12-13 weeks. It helped clear my skin, my hair was thicker, as well, I noticed some hairs growing in. However, I had a lot of constipation with it. As well, I noticed that my hips got bigger. I did not put on any weight, I weigh about 110 lbs, but my shape was awful. The recommended mininum time for usage is 12 weeks. I had to stop since the constipation was awful and the size of my hips made me scream in fear. I stopped taking it about a week ago and I'm already feeling better. the hair loss had not changed.

I am also taking ortho 777 and spiro 100mg.

I'm now taking Saw Palmetto, Standardized, 85-95%, 2x160mg and Evening Primrose oil, 2,500mg. I plan on buying GNC Ultranourishair as it has some of the same stuff as Shen Min except the he Show Wu and the Soya, Black Cohesh etc.

I couldn't deal with the side effects any longer. I used to eat natural yogurt to get rid of the constipation. It would reappear after a week or so and it drove me crazy.

I've heard that Saw Palmetto has great results and no side effects. It is supposed to have the same effect at He shou Wu (Shen Min's main ingredient), reduce DHT and increase hair growth. Combined with Ultranourishair should give me balanced help.

Please let me know how things turn out for you.

Good Luck!
Roberta
