Another stem cell product to keep an eye on

Post by Jacob »

http://www.stem120.com/hair-restoration.asp



Hair loss can be devastating. By harnessing the power of stem cell therapy, we developed a hair restoration product from teenage hair follicle stem cell signaling factors. Early studies show this topical product can be 80% more effective than Rogaine - which is only 10% effective.

The product is still under development, and joint venture or licensing opportunities may be available.
I'm waiting for a response from them on some ?'s :-s

I see they can talk to talk now lets see if they can walk the walk!

80% improvement over rogaine... I smell a marketing ploy.

I've lost count as to how many of these stem cell based products have been posted here or just how many of them have made similar claims and fallen way short of expectations.

Its a good find nonetheless and is worth a look at but as usual time will tell, I think I'm just getting a little tired of the marketing behind this stem cell based products being marketed as modern marvels.

They seem to have other different products in the pipeline that look equally interesting though.
Don't mistake my optimism for stupidity

sengoku..never heard of you..but welcome :lol:

I don't have time to listen/read all the links at the moment..will do so this weekend though. Is there something he's specifically been shown to be a "scammer" on?

Ok..listened to them..not sure where one gets "scam" from them though. Guys like Billy Mays are often applauded for their marketing skills. In fact it looks like 2 of the "complainers" in the links are in the same line of work :-s

I'm not sure what other stem cell type products have been brought up and tried- besides Lamas'- which is plant stem cell based..and A&G. Caregen's has yet to be tried..I think..and DermaHeal seems to be getting some good reviews. But like Fizzball says..be skeptical.

This company's glutathione product seems legit..according to some out there. As well as their skin line:

There is no clinical evidence to show their products can be 80% more effective than rogaine. Both Joseph Surgarman and Jon Hughes have written extensively on Marketing and Marketing tactics. Their books are used in some Marketing classes in Junior College.

I don't like their "80%" hype either..even if it's "early studies". But then again..where are Dr. P's clinical studies/evidence? :lol: Especially on his "grows more hair than any other agent" nonsense.

I have nothing against "marketing tactics"..as long as it's not an actual scam. Certain folks that participate in these types of forums have some strange marketing tactics themselves :-s It's perfectly fine to point 'em out..and be skeptical.

I do like that their other products do look good though. So far.
