Nisim newhair products for vegans?

Thank you for your interest in our products.  No they do not contain any animal byproducts. 

The shampoos control the hair loss and the extracts stimulate new growth.  Conditioners are not necessary but the key is the shampoo and extract.  You should shampoo daily...a double wash and rinse then apply the extract once in the morning and again in the evening.  If you are shampooing again during the day you can go ahead and apply the extract again.  I wouldn't use if more than 3 times a day.  You would just be wasting it.

Regarding your sensitivity issue.....I would recommend doing a small test patch prior to using the products.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Nisim International

Is ground Salba or whole Salba seed best

I was contacting Salba because I wondered if I should use whole or ground seeds. Here is their reply.

I see nowhere on if there is any difference eating whole or crushed.

Some grains you don't get all nutrition of it if you eat them whole so I wonder if the stomach will digest them whole or if it is best with crushed ones.

We assume that the nutrients from the whole Salba seed are available for absorption as well as those from ground Salba, because Salba has an open husk that softens up when it gets in contact with any fluid. Also, when you add the seed to water you can see that it absorbs a lot of water, indicating the seed is easily accessible.

I hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me again.

Enjoy Salba!

Salba® is the richest whole food source of Omega 3 fatty acids and fibre found in nature. Every serving (12 grams or approximately 2 flat tablespoons) of Salba® provides over 2,400 mg of Omega 3s, over 4,500 mg of dietary fibre, with less than 0.5 net carbohydrates per serving. Gram for gram, Salba® provides six times more calcium than whole milk, three times more iron than spinach, and fifteen times more magnesium than broccoli. Salba® is all-natural, has no trans-fats, is gluten free, has almost no carbohydrates, and is certified Non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organism).
