S-Matoside (Growing Shot S)

What is GSS?

Growing Shot S (GSS) is a pure natural plant stanol topical hair loss treatment formulated by a company called Pola in Japan. The main ingredient in GSS is S-Maltoside which stands for Stigma Stanol Maltoside. Clinical studies have shown that S-Maltoside is a direct inducer of aFGF, a potent hair growth factor. Waseda suggests that S-Maltoside may function as a potent DHT inhibitor as well as a hair growth stimulant like Rogaine, except that S-Maltoside is stronger and more effective in generating terminal hairs with few side effects. So GSS is perfect for people who are afraid of side effects associated with Propecia and Rogaine.

Note: technically, GSS is not an anti DHT inhibitor. Some scientists suggest that DHT may inhibit aFGF, a very important growth factor for hair. The potency of GSS lies in the fact that it can directly induce aFGF even in the presence of DHT.

Shedding

Application

GSS is one of the products in Waseda’s regimen. Waseda indicates that GSS does not interfere with other products in his regimen and is safe to use with few known side effects. In fact, according to Waseda, one researcher at Pola recommends using GSS frequently because there are few known cases of irritations or side effects. As of Jun 26, Waseda’s uses GSS twice a day in the following sequence:

In the morning:

1) GSS, 2) Vitaminox 5%, 3) Souhakuhi, 4) Morehairin

In the evening:
1) Topical Spironolactone 3%, 2) GSS, 3) Vitamox 5%, 4) Morehairin
