KÉRATENE Alphactive ® Retard

[ajays]

Hariri,

I am currently on 1x/day.

He mentioned earlier that he is taking it 1x/day. Im taking the same dose too. How about ajays?

hi ajays,

I am now using 2 capsules/day.

I started with 1/day on March 10, 2013.
After three weeks increased the dose to 1/day + another 1 every other day.
Since the beginning of May I am now on 2/day.

My shedding is similar to what you describe. As for an overall improvement or worsening, I honestly couldn't say...

Probably the only way I can contribute to the discussion (since I was stupid enough not to have my DHT levels tested) is by stating that I don't have any sides worth mentioning. No fatigue, no brain fog, and certainly no erectile problems (maybe very very very very minor libido reduction - but nothing compared to what I experienced under finasteride). I also had very minor groin discomfort (see my previous posts) some weeks ago, but it only lasted 2-3 days. And I noticed a weight gain of about 1.5 kg (which - considering that I now weigh 64 kg with a body height of 175 cm - isn't a concern for me).

So...if Keratene doesn't help, at least it doesn't do any noticable damage

Hi Guys,

Need some feedback. Did any of guys experience a shed while on Fin or currently on Keratene? I have been on Keratene for 4 months and experiencing a shed for past 2 months (i am not using Minox). The shed is mostly small or medium size weak hairs and only happens when I am in the shower. I think I see about 10-15 hairs in my hands at that time. I feel my hair is getting better with Keratene, but just wanted to check if this shed is a sign of more improvements to come and not something to be concerned about.

- Did anyone experience similar shed?
- If yes, how long did it last?
- Did your hair diffusion get worse before it got better?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Nice !! Are you taking 1x/day or 2x/day?

Ajays,

My DHT is just over 900. I am taking as the instructions on the label of one capsule.

Personally, I have not had any side effects so far, at least not noticeable.

I had a shedding similar to yours.

Nor had gained weight and I'm going to the gym every day (as I did in the last 16 years) and not felt strength reduction.

There are some days we are more tired, but this is natural and not blame the Kératene so, because some days I am 100% again. If it was the drug that would last.

Now wait anxiously for the results of my blood test.

Any idea when you will get the results of the blood test?

I found two studies on this stuff. One was performed by the company on only 31 male patients, but all had pretty dramatic drops in DHT. The other was done by Prohairclinic in partnership with a legitimate university in Belgium and showed a more conservative drop but it was universal to all male subjects (ranging from 5% to 57% reduction, average 25%, after one week on 1 capsule a day). Either this product works or these people are perpetrating a very sophisticated fraud.

Yeah i'm wondering if its a sophisticated fraud, i haven't pulled the trigger and ordered simply as i have my doubt's (like us all i guess) Be interesting indeed for independent blood scores to be revealed..

If you are correct and Keratene reduces DHT by a small amount, but not as much as propecia, then it might be a good medication to use for people who want to come off of propecia but who are scared of getting Post-Finasteride Syndrome.

A lot of people on the propecia side-effect forums believe that when you come off propecia your DHT levels rise sharply and your testosterone drops, resulting in a crash to your system.

If Keratene can be proven to reduce DHT by a small amount, that is less than propecia does, then it could be used as a stepping-stone for people looking to come off propecia. I.e. you stop taking propecia and start taking Keratene for several months, your DHT levels then rise but not rise too much all at once. After a few months you then come off the keratene and let your DHT levels rise a little bit further back to their normal levels.

This might all be a load of crap that I am speaking, but it is an interesting theory. I for one have always thought to myself "if a cure for baldness comes out and I no longer need to take propecia, would I be best staying on propecia so as to avoid any possibility of getting post-finasteride syndrome?". I am sure there must be other guys thinking the same thing.

Any thoughts on this?

Julio,

I think the whole world is eagerly waiting for your results. No pressure buddy

Why wouldn't you just taper yourself off Propecia if you're that worried about it?

Ajays,

I'm also curious. I bought a quantity for 4 months of treatment (taking one capsule per day) and depending on the outcome, or I'll stay with 1 capsule daily, move to 2 capsules daily or interrupt treatment for lack of efficacy.

I really want the Kératene is efficient, otherwise for my case, there will not be any oral anti-dht that has not given me any side effects.

I have my fingers crossed.

Cob what's happening, is this stuff helping you or what? Don't understand, you claim sides, so assume that something is happening?

[thechamp]

Cob

Cob why don't you get on fin amd a estrogen blocker???

[Dees Dab]

Thanks for all your feedback guys, Other than DHT anf T, what other markers should be checked on the blood test? I'm looking for a lab in my area.

[clandestine]

Because that would be stupid of him.
