Keratene Alphaactive Retard RESULTS

[shredder]

True, but falsifying study results (which they did, in my opinion) could definitely fall under some consumer truth in advertising laws.

your are probably right. If you are considering going into that direction, let me know.

Well that sucks... I did consider Keratene a while back to add to my regimen. Good to see blood test results showing the stuff doesnt work, just another item to put on my list of stuff to avoid.

hmmm. what would you guys use instead? can't use fin or minox (cats!). presently I am using nizoral 2% once/week, and I just started trying the topical melatonin formulation for which there has been a recent publication.

any suggestions welcome, but please note that I am in europe.

I am going to try and get on a very small dose of fin. As far as minox goes, you just need to keep it away from your cats. I have a cat and I used minox for 12 years. Lots of guys with cats use minox.

RU and CB.

You should be using Minox though, I've got a cat as well and I keep the bottle far away from it. You'd probably need more than 1ml to kill your cat with minoxidil anyway. Just store it safely.

I only apply Minox at night and if you take other topicals, you wont need the twice daily application that they say you need.

[shredder]

did you guys have good results on minox? 5% is sufficient?

with regard to RU I don't know - there are no real trials available as far as I know (in patients that is), so it might turn out to be another keratene (well maybe not as bad as that, but still). the same goes for CB.

Can we keep this on topic please? - being ripped off. Thanks.

Agreed. I think the main lesson to be learned here is that if we are going to try "alternative treatments," be they supplements or grey market topicals, we should rely solely on blood tests (for DHT inhibitors, at least) and not on anecdotes found online.

Thanks ryan. I'm gutted, I should have waited before spending £110 two weeks ago. It's a proven scam then, I've been bitten twice now, other time was TRX2. These people are heartless low life's, making money from our misery.

Dude, get a refund, file a complaint through Paypal.

Lot of hoops to jump thru tho - Hairclinic naturally wont offer a refund, and pay-pal will be asking me many Q's as to why they should refund, and all i can do is point them to a hairloss forum - which will mean naff all to them?

Do it anyway, you have nothing to lose.

Yep I know.. Think they're going to be getting a few emails from irate customers shortly..

Can you not initiate a chargeback through your credit card company?

As for Keratene, I'm glad I decided to bypass it and get right on Fin. I just felt it was in my best interest not to try anymore unsubstantiated treatments. Now that I've been on it for awhile I am kicking me own @$$ for procrastinating for so long.
