Nourkrin

Dear Dr Rassman

Great blog. Here’s my question:

A supplement called Nourkrin is being advertised a lot in London at the moment, and claims to combat pattern baldness in both men and women. It basically seems to be a nutritional pill, and the key ingredient in Nourkrin is a protein compound of marine extracts. It is is blended with an organic, soluble silica and vitamin C.

I would like to know your thoughts on whether this would help someone like me: 30 year old male, who is receding at the temples (norwood 2, not on crown), and has a history of male-pattern baldness on both sides of my family. I’m also looking at taking finasteride.

Thank you very much!

Nourkrin is as you described here, but I know almost nothing about these ingredients. I did some Google searching for it and came up with page after page of sites selling it, but nobody discussing it. Maybe you’ll have better luck in your own search, but I came up empty. Nothing else I can really add regarding the product you asked about, but I can advise you that you should have metrics taken (miniaturization) to see how bad your hair loss actually is, how it is progressing over time, and the value or non-value of this pill if you elect to take it.
