Spectral DNC Hair Loss Treatment with Minoxidil

Has anyone used this stuff? Does it work any better than minoxidil, alone? I buy cheap minoxidil, usually 3 bottles for less than $30 and I spray it on in the morning and massage it in with a vibrating brush. i don't really know how much it helps because I am still pretty bald on top but I do get some hairs that seem to go away if I stop using it.

Anyway, I figure this forum would know if this other stuff is worth it. Obviously, I won't be getting off cheap anymore.

Here's the link.

Search here and the other forums..plenty of posts on it.

Notice the "product features" you mentioned don't say "Contains Minoxidil 5% encapsulated in nanosomes" See Min.com for one that does. Lipoxidil.com still might sell theirs as well(they've dropped so many products I couldn't tell you w/out looking)

I didn't quote the whole ad. If you check out the link, it does say that

Product Description

"Product Description Spectral DNC is a new hair loss treatment that incorporates Aminexil a new, breakthrough compound which is the only other molecule aside from Minoxidil that is clinically proven to re-grow hair. Other active ingredients include research grade Minoxidil 5%, Retinol, copper peptides, and a vitamin and mineral complex. The active ingredients are delivered in a technologically advanced vehicle, in tiny micro-spheres called nanosomes."

But is this stuff better? Is it worth me spending the extra money? Or is it just a way someone found to make more money off of an old idea?

I DID try to do a search first. Unfortunately, I didn't really understand most of what I read. Just alot of argueing whether it contained minoxidil or not.

A lot of guys who have been using spectral dnc for awhile swear by it. Supposdley it's way more effective than regular old generic 5% minox. It's definitly a lot better cosmetically in that it dries quickly, adds a little body to your hair, and leaves your hair looking clean.

I made the switch from the 5% liquid to spectral dnc in mid-March - and no complaints.

A lot of guys are also experiencing much better results w/ Rogaine foam then they were the liquid. Again, fast drying, leaves your hair w/ a little extra body, and is very "clean". Getting some shed reports on the foam though - which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

At the very least - you might want to make the switch from the liquid to the foam - which is less expensive then spectral dnc. Or do both, foam in the AM and spectral in the PM (or vice-versa).

Banger..that still does not say minoxidil in nanosomes. I can try to dig up some threads on this if you'd like. They are very cleverly using words there.

Email the company and ask them why they don't say specifically..and even highlight it..that their minoxidil is encapsulated in nanosomes.

You can look at other hair loss forums as well for reviews

Banger10:

Spectral DNC is an excellent Minoxidil solution. Since switching to Spectral DNC, for my AM application only, I've had improved results, particularly in the frontal areas. This is after using Minoixidil solutions for more then 5 years prior to the switch. So, in my book, that's pretty impressive.

As far as Jacob's input goes, he has never used Spectral DNC, or any Minoxidil solution for that matter, so his input is worthless!

Furthermore, the labeling on the Spectral DNC bottle states as follows:

"Spectral DNC lotion contains the highest quality research grade Minoxidil, Aminexil, Adenosine, and Procyanidin B-2 and C-2 encapsulated in DS Laboratories nanosomes".

To any fair minded person, the above referenced quote, from the Spectral DNC bottle, indicates that the Minoxidil in Spectral DNC, as well as the other listed ingredients, are encapsulated in nanosomes!

You can also email DS Labs and they will tell you directly, with no ambiguity, that the minoxidil in Spectral DNC is definitely encapsulated in nanasomes.

I might go back to it. Since I stopped using it, it seems like my hair got thinner and receeded more. I only stopped it for a month. I didn't think my hair would get worse that quick from stopping it.

You don't have to use a product to know that it doesn't contain what many think.

hatchet...then why don't they tell you directly, with no ambiguity, on their website or even on their labeling? Heck..why don't they tell you, with no ambiguity, why they don't just do that, after now nearly 2 years of pointing it out to them? I was even told they would change it..but they just can't seem to do it. Even with site and labeling changes. I wonder why?

I have read the product labels/literature and the web copy, and it's clear enough for me to understand that they are saying that the minox is nanosomal. Some of their copy is a little wordy, unclear, whatever, but it's expensive to rewrite, relabel, reprint and repackage everything, so they probably figure why mess with it when most people just understand what they mean anyway. Just because a few people bug them and tell them to rewrite stuff doesn't mean it's cost-effective or even necessary from a business perspective to do it. I write for a living and I've known lots of so-called professional writers who can't or don't write good copy. Maybe the DS writers don't even speak English as their first language, who knows? Further, who really cares? I've emailed DS Labs. They told me point blank that, yes, the minox is encapsulated. If you think there's a conspiracy, that's fine. Just don't use the product. I use it and I think it's a good product, and pretty well thought out, from an R&D standpoint. But the R&D people don't write the sales and marketing copy. Believe me, one of the most common complaints from customers about any product, in any industry, is about the documentation, the instructions, the manuals, etc., that come with the product. All that being said, the people who actually make the product say the minox is encapsulated. Unless you can prove otherwise, that ends the argument. The only remaining issue is whether their literature and labels are written clearly enough to satisfy you, and, again, if it's going to cost them more to fix it than they stand to gain from fixing it, then they won't fix it. And if you actually read the label and other info with an open mind it's pretty clear anyway. Regardless, feel free to now repost all of the nonsense previously posted on this topic, and I will ignore it, as I usually do, and concentrate on the stuff that interests me.
