i've only begun taking these supplements a week ago, so i think it is too soon to say what the effect will be for me, but i will come back and update this review in a few months to report what happened. in the meantime, am reviewing the contents of these supplements.
aside from the usual and common Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin B-6, Pantothenic Acid, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Manganese, Citrus Bioflavonoid 50% Complex, Goji Berry 40% Extract, Olive Water Extract, and Silica, there are some ingredients i am not very familiar with so i researched them to see what i could learn. here's what i found out:
Biotin Biotin plays a key role in the body. It supports the health of the skin, nerves, digestive tract, metabolism, and cells. Biotin may also help to treat some types of nerve pathology, such as the peripheral neuropathy that can result from kidney failure or diabetes.
Biotin supplements have been studied as a treatment for a number of conditions. In people with type 2 diabetes, early research suggests that a combination of biotin and chromium might improve blood sugar. On its own, biotin might decrease insulin resistance and nerve symptoms related to type 2 diabetes.
Hydrolyzed Collagen Type 1 & 3 are a family of proteins that are part of body tissues, including skin, cartilage and joints. While there are more than a dozen types of collagen, 80 to 90 percent of collagen found in the body consists of types 1, 2 and 3.
L-Methionine Loss of methionine has been linked to senile greying of hair. Its lack leads to a buildup of hydrogen peroxide in hair follicles, a reduction in tyrosinase effectiveness, and a gradual loss of hair color. Methionine is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of cysteine, carnitine, taurine, lecithin, phosphatidylcholine, and other phospholipids. Improper conversion of methionine can lead to atherosclerosis.
Hydrolyzed Keratin is one of a family of fibrous structural proteins. Keratin is the protein that protects epithelial cells from damage or stress. It is the key structural material making up the outer layer of human skin. It is also the key structural component of hair and nails, and it provides the necessary strength for masticatory organs, such as the tongue and the hard palate. Keratin monomers assemble into bundles to form intermediate filaments, which are tough and form strong unmineralized tissues found in reptiles, birds, amphibians, and mammals. The only other biological matter known to approximate the toughness of keratinized tissue is chitin.
Hyaluronic Acid Hyaluronic acid is found in many tissues of the body, such as skin & cartilage. it is well suited to biomedical applications targeting these tissues.
Alpha Lipoid Acid essential for aerobic metabolism. It is also manufactured and is available as a dietary supplement in some countries where it is marketed as an antioxidant. In Japan, LA is marketed primarily as a "weight loss" and "energy" supplement.
Gotu Kola Extract used as a medicinal herb in Ayurvedic medicine, traditional African medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine. It is also known as the Asiatic pennywort or Indian pennywort in English. In traditional herbal medicine, Gotu kola has been used for varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, psoriasis, and minor wounds
Grape Seed 95% Extract. Grape seed oil from crushed seeds is used in cosmeceuticals and skincare products for perceived health benefits. Grape seed oil contains tocopherols (vitamin E) and high contents of phytosterols and polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid, oleic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid.
MSM MSM is sold as a dietary supplement and marketed with a variety of claims, often in combination with glucosamine and/or chondroitin for helping to treat or prevent osteoarthritis.
Fo-Ti Root Powder F. multiflora is used in traditional Chinese medicine as a tonic and an anti-aging remedy.

Bladderwrack Powder. a seaweed found on the coasts of the North Sea, the western Baltic Sea, and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, also known by the common names black tang, rockweed, bladder fucus, sea oak, black tany, cut weed, dyers fucus, red fucus, and rock wrack. It was the original source of iodine, discovered in 1811, and was used extensively to treat goitre, a swelling of the thyroid gland related to iodine deficiency.
Nori Yaki edible seaweed species of the red algae genus Pyropia
Wakame Powder New studies conducted at Hokkaido University have found that a compound in wakame known as fucoxanthin can help burn fatty tissue. Studies in mice have shown that fucoxanthin induces expression of the fat-burning protein UCP1 that accumulates in fat tissue around the internal organs. In Oriental medicine it has been used for blood purification, intestinal strength, skin, hair, reproductive organs and menstrual regularity.
Natural Astaxanthin The primary use for humans is as a dietary supplement. Research suggests that, due to astaxanthin's antioxidant activity, it may be beneficial in cardiovascular, immune, inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.
as you can see, there's is not much mention of these ingredients as far as hair growth goes. the closest i can tell, some are good for slowing the aging of hair. maybe this translates into darker hair, which makes a beard seem fuller. i am not sure. but.... these ingredients have many other beneficial uses, as you can see, so i figure if my body is benefitting, this is a worthwhile investment, at least for a few months.
