KÉRATENE Alphactive ® Retard

[ajays]

Guys,
I recently have ordered the Keratene retard capsules. Want to at least give it a try before jumping on the Fin bandwagon. Made the decision after reading through various posts in this and other forums.

Particular there is a user named kerajason who posts on a body building forum (link below). He has been part of the trials and highly recommends the product. I have found his posts to be very encouraging. Also have started PMs with him and have found his answers to be quite realistic and not over the top. Have requested him to be part of this forum, hopefully he will join this forum and share his information.

I will keep you guys updated once I receive the capsules.

Hariri,

Have you received the Keratene capsules yet? I had ordered couple of weeks back and still haven't received (destination USA). The shipping option that they are using right now is dead slow.

Ajays, I have received the product three days ago. I waited for it for 2 weeks almost. Well, I have been on it since three days and I got ZERO sides. I feel just like the time I was taking my herbal supplement HairOmega DHT (Saw Palmetto 450mg + Beta Sitosterol 450mg). Im taking one capsule before bedtime. If you want a faster shipping next time then try to order it from ProHairClinic website as they are dealing with DHL for shipping. Hope everything will stay the same with me. Fingers crossed

I contacted Keratene asking them the dosage of Sterols in their product, they answered me its not more than 3g/day which is the maximum dose by Medical Boards in Europe. Anything above that can affect negatively on the metabolism of Vitamin A. So if Im taking one capsule only then I may guess that my dosage is around 1.5g/day as the recommended dosage of the product is (2 capsules per day).

Fantastic!!
According to kerajason, improvements can be expected after about 3-4 weeks. Hope this thing works!

We definitely need that Kerajason guy over here. He knows his stuff. I think Keratene, Capillogain (or Lipogaine or another Minox), and Niz could be a very solid regimen to hold those of us who are NW2.5 and less over for a few years.

HARIRI did you have your DHT level tested?

[DifferentLine]

Are we supposed to be able to expect any kind of minor regrowth from this, or is it just purely for maintenance?

[ajays]

Mostly maintenance and some minor regrowth, no major regrowth as per feedback.

HARIRI did you have your DHT level tested?

Yes I did, my results will be ready in two weeks. Its bloody expensive as they have to send my samples to France for testing. Unfortunately we don't have a facility for DHT testing here.

Its for maintenance and slowing the progress of hair loss. Minoxidil is the one for regrowth as it will work perfectly with Keratene Alphactive Retard or even Finasteride

Hey Hariri,

Guess you have been taking the pills for a week now? Any feedback?
Any side effects (fatigue, etc) or positive aspects (i know maybe too early to tell but still).

[HARIRI]

Believe it or not. NOTHING. I got no sides at all. My body tolerate it very well. I have been taking Beta Sitosterol for years and now with Keratene's Sterol Complex I feel exactly the same. But bare in mind that I am taking one capsule a day and not two.

[ajays]

Yeah - better to start with one per day and see how it goes. I am still waiting for my capsules to arrive, hopefully in a day or too.

Have they indicated what to avoid while taking these capsules. If I recall from some post, they recommend not to consume saw palmetto at the same time?

[HARIRI]

You should avoid anything that can lower DHT significantly. For example reduce your intake of Soy Sauce if you love to eat Asian like me as it contains S-Equol. Avoid Saw Palmetto completely as well. However there is no harm in adding supplements like vitamins for health benefits. I'm taking Vitamin B-Complex with Zinc every morning ;-) ...

[ajays]

Thanks.

- How about multi-vitamin tabs (as opposed to just Vit B and zinc)?
- Also, will it be ok to take biotin tabs?

[HARIRI]

All types of Vitamens are safe to be taken with this product. For your info. Bioten is considered as a Vitamen B7, its a part of the B-Complex which I believe considered the most effective vitamen for hair but you don't need higher than 1000mg as the human body needs only 300mg. All what you need to do is to avoid Anti DHT stuff like Saw Palmetto, Beta Sitosterol, Stinging nettle, Pygeum Africanum or Soy products which contain S-Equol.
