Trial Volunteers Needed For Natural, Topical Hair Loss Treatment

The goal of HairGen is to reduce hair loss to non-MPB levels, while also creating a healthy scalp environment that may potentially promote thicker hair and/or regrowth.

The herbs used in HairGen are all wild-harvested, which, while more costly, ensures that each ingredient is of the very finest quality. All of the herbs are distilled into liquid extracts via pure organic grape spirits, and the alcohol will then be removed to ensure that no damage is done to the scalp.

The alcohol can be removed due to the unique cutting-edge liposomal delivery system that uses phospholipids to increase scalp permeability.
