New: DS Labs Spectral DNC-S

[HARIRI]

Hi Guys, I was trying to order some Spectral DNC (Minoxidil 5% ++) online last week. When I checked the Blog of their international website I was surprised with their new formula to be released soon which will work in an interesting way as breakthrough. I copied and pasted whatever is written.

New: Spectral.DNC-S – Our most innovative breakthrough. The most advanced Spectral, ever.

Spectral.DNC-S delivers later-stage hair-recovery effectiveness for both men and women, while maintaining a pleasant texture and a healthy environment for the scalp, unlike formulas with generic minoxidil, which leaves a greasy, sticky residue, and can be irritating for many.

Ion channels. Multiple ingredients open ion channels within scalp cells to enable the flow of proteins and enzymes for superior results.

Dihydrotestosterone. Key ingredients control DHT production to help keep follicles healthy and normal.

Botanicals.Extensive use of botanical compounds, instead of chemicals such as minoxidil and finasteride, delivers hair-health benefits naturally.

Dual-chamber system. Separate chambers keep ion-channel openers and synergistic compounds stable until users combine them for maximum activity.

The wide-spectrum actions of Spectral.DNC-S together with the high-performance standards of DS Laboratories mean long-term efficacy, comfortable wear,
and overall health improvement. So users enjoy a quick, significant impact on texture and fullness, plus compounded benefits longer term.

[thechamp]

This is replacing spectral dnc

This product is replacing spectral dnc dam it!!

[HARIRI]

This product is replacing spectral dnc dam it!!

I don't think so, they will never stop the original Spectral DNC because its a minoxidil product. It will be just an addition to the collection along with DNC-N (Nanoxidil). This is it

[thechamp]

Wrong

I don't think so, they will never stop the original Spectral DNC because its a minoxidil product. It will be just an addition to the collection along with DNC-N (Nanoxidil). This is it

Thank you for your interest in DS Laboratories' products.

Wrong Yes, Spectral DNC has been discontinued - you can check with salons in your area as they may still have a few bottles in stock.

We will soon be releasing a new hair growth product, Spectral DNC-S. Perhaps this product will work well for you?

Please let us know if there is anything else we may help with. I Started there nanoxidil not sure if it was doing anything so I stopped

[thechamp]

This is email they sent me

Looks like an interesting study, but I'm not really moved by DNC-N, Nanoxidil is only a substitute of Minoxidil but if you ask DS labs about it, they will tell you than Minoxidil is superior and that this product is only formulated for people who suffer sides from DNC (Minoxidil).

However I have high hopes on DNC-S which cames as 2 solutions in 1 pack as it contains Ion channels multiple ingredients open ion channels within scalp cells to enable the flow of proteins and enzymes for superior results and contains Dihydrotestosterone key ingredients control DHT production to help keep follicles healthy and normal.

I was trying to search for these Dihydrotestosterone key ingredients but couldnt spot them. Can you guys have a look and find some?

Someone asked on another forum about the ingredients since he didn't recognize any so I broke a few down.

Adenosine: It has been shown that, in Japanese men, adenosine improves androgenetic alopecia due to the thickening of thin hair due to hair follicle miniaturization (pubmed)
HAIR GROWTH EFFECTS OF ADENOSINE: http://www.folikul.com/Adenosine.pdf

Malus domestica: Stimulate healthy cell renewal, Protect longevity of skin stem cells, Delay senescence of essential cells, Slow chronological aging of skin

Palmitoyl pine bark extract inhibits 5x-reductase and block DHT (taken from vendor)

Peptide complexes, which are tailored strings of amino acids, stimulate growth, keratin production, and shaft diameter, and add antiaging and anti-inflammatory properties (taken from vendor)

Azelaic acid inhibits DHT (taken from vendor) -- you usually find this in combination with Minox

Retinol significantly improves scalp skin condition and promotes hair growth (pubmed) also can be used with minox

L-arginine is a source for nitric oxide synthesis / a vasodilator

Lysine: Studies involving the adminstration of L-Lysine to those with hair loss showed a remarkable increase in scalp hair growth. L-lysine, together with arginine, has been documented to normalize hormonal stress responses in humans with high trait anxiety. An interesting thing about the combination of Lysine and Arginine is that it's been documented that it increases growth hormone release by a factor of 10 over arginine alone. It is possible that Lysine's ability to increase HGH may at least partially explain its positive effects on hair.

There's a lot more ingredients and you can research them yourself. I just picked a small # of well known ingredients + malus domestica which has been discussed before with the more common name apple stem cells. A lot of the ingredients compliment each other or are known to work synergistically, there is a strong possibility these ingredients should produce benefits if the delivery works. Or it could be a total flop (like any product). Since it just came out there's no feedback yet.

[bornthisway]

I was thinking of ordering the new DNC-S since it does look like a strong offering on paper and they do a good job to sell it, it is supposedly their most aggressive product for hair loss. I was thinking of using it in conjunction with generic minoxidil.

I'm hesitant to pick the product up now because it just came out (so no reviews exist) and instead am thinking of trying out Lipogaine since it's got a great deal of positive feedback -- and it at least should work better than regular minoxidil (liposome delivery + has other beneficial ingredients).

DS Labs has a great # of good reviews as well as negative, something about inconsistent batches so it seems that quality control has been an ongoing issue for this company. I've never used their products before.

Hopefully some people will be on board to try this product out. I haven't decided yet if I want to be one of the first testers.

As of Dec. 2012 DS Labs is traded on NASDAQ. Don't they have to make investors happy now / see increased sales / improve QC?
