KÉRATENE Alphactive ® Retard

[LongWayHome]

Alright people...an update:

...It's been 2 weeks since i've started using the capsules, no sides or something like that. Today
I'm going to use for the first time the topicals either.
This is the complete regimen of Keratene, the most powerful thing
from them. I'm using the shampoo and the Serum.
The ultra something is stronger I guess but whatever...
As for me i think the topicals won't do anything but good looking hair which is very nice but not helping for the long term..On the other hand maybe the combination of the topicals with the capsules which is systematic AND minox that I use for about a year, WILL get me to somewhere...
If not.................This is the FIN-ale...(countdown)

(Or I'll just go on RU...)

LongWayHome, Were you taking 2 capsules a day? About using Keratene serum along with capsules, I don't think it is a good idea. You can use the shampoo but wont advice the serum. Its for the reason that 2 capsules of Keratene have the maximum recommended dosage of Sterols 3g/day so with adding the serum then you may have some issues. Try to communicate with the main company in order to ask them if its safe to use the capsules and serum together as they have similar key ingredients.

My advice is that you stick with the capsules and use Regaine for some growth. You can add the shampoo to the regime but wont advice to use the serum as well. Serum is an option for the ones who aren't comfortable with the oral stuff.

Wow, good to know! thank you man!
I started with 1 capsule but 2 days ago I started with two capsules a day.

I'll ask the company about the combination.

Btw, what is sterol exactly?

[HARIRI]

Natural Sterol Complex is a comprehensive formulation of the most powerful anabolic plant sterols, lipotropics, electrolytes and much more.

One of its main ingredients is Beta Sitosterol which is is one of several phytosterols (plant sterols) with chemical structures similar to that of cholesterol. Sitosterols are white, waxy powders with a characteristic odor. They are hydrophobic and soluble in alcohols. Also it is a substance found naturally in a number of foods, including soy, flaxseed, peanuts, olive oil, and many fruits and vegetables. It is widely distributed in the plant kingdom and found in Nigella sativa, pecans, Serenoa repens (saw palmetto), avocados, Cucurbita pepo (pumpkin seed), Pygeum africanum, cashew fruit, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, soybeans, sea-buckthorn, wolfberries, and Wrightia tinctoria.[citation needed] It is also found in dandelion coffee.

LongWayHome, So how do you feel after upgrading from one capsule a day to two?

Im taking one capsule a day and applying Regaine (Rogaine) once a day as well with some Vitamen B complex & Biotin :-)

[LongWayHome]

So what's the role of the sterol in stopping hair loss exactly?

About the capsules, I don't think I feel anything, It's still too early.
I also think that if Fin has to be taken for at least 6 months if you want to judge it efficacy, then why would Keratene be different?
Maybe I even need to get a shed. Who knows...

Received the Keratene retard capsules today. Must say, very professional packaging and documentation, doesnt look "retarded" at all

Day 1 starts today!!

[everest13]

I've been on the capsules for 18 days now, taking them once a day.
My dht levels were 1.08 nmol/L (312 pg/ml) with the reference range being 0.323 - 1.637 before starting any capsules. im 22 years old and it seems like i have high sensitivity to dht since my levels were within the normal range?

im losing hair at a pretty fast pace too =[ at like norwood 3 with thinning all over on top of my hair. Would taking the capsules once a day even be enough to help me considering it probably wont decrease the dht levels by that much?

i've also been using rogaine foam once a day for 6 months.

Could it be that your case is not DHT related? Have you been to a doc to take an opinion?

[HARIRI]

everest13, 312 pg/ml is a little number. I guess its indeed because of the high sensitivity which means that Finasteride and Keratene wont work with you and that your only solution is Minoxidil. In my case, I restored a lot of hair when I was using Propecia (Finasteride) which means that my DHT level were high. That is why I didn't have any doubts when I purchased Keratene as lowering DHT is my main target.

Doctors on the NHS ( uk) said its completely normal to lose hair and were pretty unhelpful. Can there be other reasons for hairloss? my dad is bald, and my moms side uncles are bald too . so it seems to run in the family.

Rogaine hasnt slowed down my hairloss since i've still been receding and losing it. Does this mean finasteride won't do anything for me either as well as keratene since my levels are in the normal rangte?

[ajays]

Have you faced any stress in the recent past? It could probably be just telogen effluvium. Just a thought....

Literally no one has TE.

No. Finasteride could work for you. Minox isn't supposed to slow hair loss progression, it's a growth stimulant.

Wouldnt it be safer for me to increase the dosage of keratene as opposed to using finasteride?
