It's a start up. What do you expect?

Saying that - I still haven't taken any of the capsules YET.

just expressing a concern, nearly all legit businesses have contact information, its very fishy when they don't.

while I agree it isn't the best looking website out there. There is a site: ukfinasteride.info that looks 'poorly' made but it is 100% genuine and me and countless others buy fin from there.

i can't speak in regards to ukfinastride, i'm not policing websites, i just happened to take a look at the folexen site because it sounds promising, alas i won't be buying from the site as it doesn't look trustworthy to me. quality of the website aside the main concern i have is the lack of contact info, surely a company that produces s-equol has some physical place of business. the reason i'm concerned is that as we all know the balding community is looking for anything, the slightest hint at something resembling a treatment whether proven or not and they'll be people wanting to buy the stuff. now in regards to this website it'd take very little to set up, very little to have mass produced labels, bottles, and sugar pills, and as we all know word spreads over the internet and before you know it you've sold thousands of bottles of the stuff and made a tidy profit off the back of peoples desperation.

Becareful, the Equol fanboys don't like it when their product is being questioned with legit questions and concerns.

the authenticity of the pills are of course a concern. Folexen have sent pills to a us testing facility, and we will be free to contact the facility once results are published. But, they could have just sent a good batch for testing, and be selling fakes. Plus we dont 100% know equol will work. We know it reduces dht in a unique way, thats all. Theres a few guys trying it out. Im just shocked that not one of them is checking their hormone levels. Id do it, just to check its doing what its supposed to be doing! The science is solid, but the reality may not reflect the science. Im very interested, but skeptical.

you know what - when I received my equol 2 weeks ago, I though they look like a cheap shit pills made at a local crack whore amphetamine chop shop - and thats EXACTLY why I believe they are legit.



I'm sick of vichy, loreal, rogaine, extremely over-marketed products that do nothing basically.

We'll see about folexen, I believe them so far.

Tnx.

Only if you take it with LSD.

Equol is no miracle, or magic pill. Just like every other treatment, it could help with hairloss. A few guys are now taking equol from folexen, so we shall see.
