Does Melancor-NH work for gray hair?

[Mark]

Hi,

I was surfing the net and I came across this website that touted this
drug, Melancor-NH. It is supposed to help with premature gray hair
and help prevent and possibly reverse baldness.

http://www.melancor.com/index.html

However, I found it rather weird that I've been unable to return any
hits when trying to google "Melancor-NH"

I want to find out more about this. If it can help cure premature
gray etc, it would be welcome. But I'm trying to figure out if this
is a scam or not. Any comments would be very welcome.

TIA

Dear Mark:

I would be suspicious of the promises this slick website offers. The
lack of hits on google suggests it is a low key, possibly recent
enterprise that markets this product. Just looking at the price,
about $ 70 for a month supply would make me extra cautious. There is
mention of extensive research but there are no references to published
peer reviewed studies. A US patent search gives no hits when
referencing Melancor-NH. I've seen these promises before with
products such as Shen-Minh, an expensive packaged version of the
Chines herb ho-shou-wu/fo-ti which can be bought for about one fourth
of the price listed in the advertisement. And this stuff is even more
expensive!

The slick pictures with the testimonials of uniformly colored hair,
rare in most people also raises my suspicion.

I presume, you can always contact the company and request more info on
the ingredients, scientific studies, etc. See how they respond. Or
you may choose to spend $ 300 for a 6 month supply and see what
happens. Be sure to post your findings to this and various other hair
sites so we can all benefit.

Good luck.

Mark

Hey MVR,

Thanks for the reply. Saddly, I don't believe this is a legitimate
business. The company no longer responses to my emails. I think I've
been asking too many questions.

I also emailed the FDA in an attempt to find out anything they had.
Here is the response:

Dietary supplements are not sent into the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA)

Question:
Dear FDA,

I came across this website the other day touting a pill that was
able to cure gray hair. Its available in the US without a
prescription. I
couldn't find it on the FDA website, so I'm being a bit cautious about
it.
Also I couldn't find anything on google, which I thought was REALLY
strange.
I'm trying to figure out if this is a scam or for real.

The drug is called
Melancor-NH the website is:
http://www.melancor.com/index.html

-----------END--------------------

...Notice i never mentioned anything about Melancor being a
supplement? I don't know...

But thanks for the help. Hopefully a gene cure will be on its way
soon.

I used it and it worked. Took about 3 months but the results were substantial. It didn't take away all of the gray but my hair was MUCH more youthful looking and the hair that turned black turned real black. Unfortunately, I can't find it anymore.
