CaptainRogers Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Does anyone have any idea if this product works. From what I have read, it will not regrow hair but is supposed to speed up the growth of transplanted hair growth from 12-to 15 months to 9 months. Just want to know if anyone has any experinece with it before I possibly waste money on it. Thanks all.

CaptainRogers Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Yes but I sure would appreciate an answer from someone who has used it as to whether it worked at all to help transplanted hair grow quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Glenn Charles Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I have never seen any posts from patients that felt they had quicker hair growth following a hair transplant procedure. Is there any scientific data to support this products claims?

CaptainRogers Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Dr. Charles The only data I saw was on Dr Shapiro's web site shakemd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted February 20, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 20, 2013 Many of these topical hairloss shampoo products contain herbal ingredients, not active medications and so they escape the scrutiny of the FDA, along with any clinical data to support its claims. These products are not required to provide scientific data to support their claims and many times the "red flag" are many so-called consumer testimonials accompaning the product but no clinical substantiations. It's very hit and miss. So the consumer is more left to try it and see what happens approach. :rolleyes: Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Regular Member shorinryu Posted September 15, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 15, 2013 Hi there, I personally haven't had a transplant but know of a colleague of mine who did. Following his transplant (he had 1500g FUT in Australia) he was working out a lot at the gym and was drinking various energy / protein drinks. His existing hair that wasn't transplanted was continuing to fall out fairly rapidly. He went and saw the hair doctor who put him on a trial to use the Help Hair protein shake and after 3-4 months he could notice that not only his existing hair was not falling out but his transplanted hair was growing quicker than he was originally told it would from his doctor.

Senior Member gillenator Posted September 23, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted September 23, 2013 It sounds to me like he had shock loss post-op, then it does subside as it does for most patients. And the transplanted hair will emerge at approximately the same time frames with time and a little bit of patience alone.

The help hair shake is a waste of money and the doctor behind it is a hack. Its a free world and everyone is entitled to their opinion. I was simply sharing my own personal experience. The Help Hair protein shake helped me and I know of a colleague who had a hair transplant who swears by the stuff and continues to use it. Like I said I did a fair amount of research including getting advice from another doctor as well as a nutritionist. They all agreed the protein shake had good quality ingredients that could well help with providing the proteins and vitamins hair needs to grow healthy. The doctor who designed the product certainly has a credible reputation. Good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and I ride a flying unicorn to work everyday... I'm curious in your previous post you state: I personally haven't had a transplant However on your profile you state that you have had a hair transplant with Dr Jennifer Martinick. So which is it, have you had a transplant or not? I really don't like to see new members pushing products especially when they are caught in blatant contradictions or lies.

HI there, I'm not pushing any products just simply sharing my own experience. Incidentally with regard to that, some of the research I have done includes the site (Link removed by moderator) which list some very predominant international doctors supporting this product. Do you somehow know something that they don't or are they all 'hacks' as you stated in your earlier post? I also believe doctors such as Dr Cooley and Dr Mwamba use and recommend the Help Hair shake and have also posted on the Hair Transplant Network. What makes you think you have more knowledge than these doctors - unless it is simply you intention to rubbish the reputation of these doctors for your own personal gain. If you don't like the product then don't use it. At least come up with a more substantial, credible response than saying it is "A waste of money" and the doctors who designed it "Are hacks".

And to answer your other question my profile reads "I just wanted to pass on my own experience with Dr Jennifer Martinick. In my case I had a great outcome and could not speak highly enough about Dr Jennifer Martinick. She spent a lot of time discussing what was achievable and what I could reasonably expect from a hair transplant. This means exactly what it says - It does not say that I have had a transplant only what I could reasonable expect to achieve from having one. Hopefully this clarifies the concern you must have for my hair loss situation. Edited September 24, 2013 by David - TakingThePlunge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like the product then don't use it. At least come up with a more substantial, credible response than saying it is "A waste of money" and the doctors who designed it "Are hacks". First of all I didn't say "the doctors who designed it are all hacks" I said the doctor who designed it is a hack, referring to Larry Shapiro. And to be honest I lost a lot of respect for Dr. Cooley and Dr. Mwamba when I saw they were endorsing the shake. It's a gimmick pure and simple. You could take a whey protein supplement along with a multiviatim and achieve the same results for a fraction of the cost. Anyone who thinks that the shake can have any effect on hairloss either has an agenda or is extremely foolish. Seriously go to the website and look at the before and after pictures and tell me if you really believe those results are achievable by drinking a shake. If those results where true this would be as close to a cure for baldness as you could currently get. It is clearly a snake oil. I don't mean to be harsh, however we get a lot of company shills and people pushing an agenda on this site every day and their typical m.o. is to join and immediately push a certain doctor or product and their posts are usually filled with inconsistencies, and you seem to fit this model.

Hi there, My only MO is to share my own personal experience with other individuals. I had a look at the website and the before and afters look believable to me. I understand there are a lot of people pushing their snake oils on this site and other sites, but to rubbish a product and disrepute someone's reputation is just as bad unless you have real evidence to support it.
