Although it is often hypothesized that DHT is related to shrinking of the follicle, the whole mechanism of hair loss is not well understand. Asian researchers believe that insufficient blood supply to the scalp contribute most to the hair loss. Excessive sebum, which experienced by many hair loss patients of different races, is another cause since it can clog up scalp conduits and result in malnutrition of hair and hair follicle (Dr. Yoshilata Inaba of the Inaba Aesthetic Surgery in Tokyo is one among those who favor the "sebaceous gland" hypothesis. It is very likely that those factors as well as DHT contribute to hair loss, but one in hormone level, and others in the nutritional and metabolism level. While minoxidil (Rogaine) works for only some people (young man between 20 to 30, recently and not bald at the temple), only moderate to marked hair growth observed after 4 month usage for 5%-8% participants, which is not statistically different from the placebo users. As for oral finasteride, which inhibits an enzyme that transforms testosterone into the DHT, only about 60% men grow back some of their hair (i.e. only cosmetic) despite of well financed and pretty successful marketing effort. The ideal candidates for oral finasteride are men who have already fathered all children they wish, as it may require a lifetime usage and it could harm any fetus conceived when take the medicine.

ZhangGuang 101 series is an alcohol liniment extracted and purified from many species of medicinal plants with modern technology. The lotion induces hair regrowth and stops hair loss through removing blood stasis, dilating blood capillary of scalp, promoting blood circulation, nourishing skins as well as muscles, activating pilimetrocytes and enhancing the activity of melanin cells. It may also possibly correct the DHT deficiency on cell nutritional level. Chinese herb (like ginseng) medicine's function on improving nutrition and balancing hormone is acknowledged worldwide. The unique functions of ZhangGuang 101 resulted in not only a considerable higher effective rate than both Rogaine and Propecia, but also very good effects among women. YES, WOMEN HAIR LOSS! Its effectiveness is not limited to certain area of scalp; it even works for PATCHED hair loss. Side effect free, uniquely functional, there is no question to its popularity among 3 million bald men in Japan where minoxidil's market share, unlike in U.S., is much smaller. As for most middle to large cities in China, there are 101 specialty shops, some of which expanded into distribution and treatment centers recently. With patients outside Asia included, it is estimated that more than 10 million people have benefited from ZhangGuang 101 series.

Although DHT or non-DHT treatment is a personal choice (some people may even be convinced that the best choice is to use some temporally cosmetic cover up), we do feel very proud to present the eight international awards this Chinese medicine has received, which can be considered as ultimate testimony for the success of ZhangGuang 101 series.

Invented by Dr. ZhangGuang Zhao, ZhangGuang "101" had been recommended five times to attend the international new technique fair by Inventing Society of Chinese National Scientific Committee, the highest authority on science and research in China. The "101" series had won the following awards:
