What do you think about kaminomoto?

Question

Whichever pharmacy i go to, when i ask for minoxidil they recommend me this kaminomoto instead, they say its results and gains are permanent unlike minoxidil, its a cure not a treatment for baldness but i didnt listen to them cuz this seems like a scam product, there is even no side effects, and when i asked about its active ingredient they told me natural herbs and didnt say a name, please answer because this product seems suspicious but the results they are telling me are more than good, thanks

Topical minoxidil is a FDA approved medication for hair growth.  It is relatively inexpensive.  Kaminomoto is marketed as a "hair tonic" for thinning hair.  It is not a medication and there is no evidence to support that it works.  It is a buyer beware market.  Use your own good judgement.

As of today's date stamped above, there is no cure for baldness.  All treatments need to be used continuously and once stopped hair loss resumes again.The famous British actress Audrey Hepburn once said that "tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."  Tomorrow certainly brings new hope for everyone with hair loss and every physician who helps patients with hair loss. But as for today ... we do not yet have a cure for baldness.

Back in the late 1980s there was a product called Helsinki Hair Formula advertised on TV for a cure for hair loss. It was the most successful advertising campaign in the history  of TV and they made hundreds of millions of dollars promising a cure for hair loss. The suckers that purchased it and used it over and over again, were never harmed but they did lose their money and never got their hair back. The FDA and the Federal Trade Commission eventually closed them down, but the owners were rich and their audience continued to lose their hair. If kaminomoto works, I would know it, because I am well wired in this industry. The old cliche says "Let the buyer beware".  Your call, of course.
