Combining Minoxidil(r) with the world renowned Chinese herb He

Shou Wu, Shen Min(r) Activator(tm) Serum offers a more versatile

approach to hair growth than conventional formulas;

Fight hair loss with a blend of

western medicine and eastern science.

Joining the very best of eastern herbal science with western laboratory technology, BioTech Corporation has created a new hair growth serum for both men and women, delivered in a unique BioVector Lipid dermal system. This application technology is up to four times more effective than traditional delivery systems and is the perfect complement to the Shen Min(r) Activator(tm) active ingredients. The 3-fluid ounce container of applicator serum could be the most advanced hair care formula available today. What's more, it can be used by both men and women and has been formulated to greatly minimize potentially serious side effects.

Now being sold at leading health food stores, drug stores, pharmacies and supermarkets, Shen Min Activator actually continues to deliver what your hair needs long after traditional hair serums finish. That's because Shen Min Activator combines the ancient Chinese herb He Shou Wu, world renowned for its hair revitalizing properties, with Minoxidil(r), making this one of the most advanced topical solutions available. In addition, Shen Min Activator provides other vital nutrients healthy hair, delivered to hair follicles in Biotech's proprietary BioVector Lipid Complex(tm), a sustained release application system that is up to four times more effective than traditional delivery systems found in ordinary formulas. By releasing Shen Min Activator's nutrients over time, a more continuous stimulation of the hair follicles is achieved, preventing hair follicles from becoming dormant. With 50% more volume than its competitors and a suggested retail price of $29.99, Shen Min Activator may be the most cost-effective, high performance way to fight back against hair loss.

"Eastern and western scientists have long recognized that the He Shou Wu herb has a profound effect on hair and hair follicles, as do other hair nutrients in our formula such as retinyl palmitate, Saw Palmetto, biotin, panthenol, jojoba oil and others,"explained BioTech Corporation President & Chief Executive Officer Greg Kelly. "Our chemists have developed an effective blend of active ingredients and a more effective delivery system to ensure maximum performance. The result is an effective new product that provides people with a powerful scientific advantage in the battle against hair loss. We believe the Shen Min Activator Serum is the most effective way to help stop hair loss and stimulate hair regeneration than what is currently available in the marketplace, which are typically Minoxidil(r)-only formulas."

According to Kelly, Shen Min Activator Serum is designed to be applied twice a day (in the morning and evening, before sleep) and has been proven to be effective in a wide variety of user applications. BioTech also offers a variety of Shen Min based tablet formulas.

As important as Shen Min's effectiveness is, Kelly emphasized, the product's safety is paramount to consumers. "The fight against hair loss should be done in the safest possible manner and should involve as little risk of side effects as possible," he emphasized. "Some formulas carry warnings of sexual dysfunction and even refer to dangers to pregnant women from merely touching a broken tablet. Our solution is a complete solution. It marries together the very best of eastern herbal science and tradition with western technology. And the results, while they will vary from person to person, speak for themselves. Based on direct consumer feedback, four out of five people who use Shen Min for three months are pleased with the results."
