How many people have posted pre and post DHT levels when going on this stuff?
If it truly has DHT lowering effects it would be a good compliment to a regimen, but since it is a smaller amount of DHT compared to fin, would not expect it to do much on its own. In a combo with RU and/or minox, could be useful.Comment

friends,
I contacted the company and received a return of information. I honestly do not believe my result has not change the method of examination, since the same method was used for the Saw Palmetto for example, and showed variation. I have also used this same method above for Finasteride and also grew, but whatever.
Do not want to take away the hope of those who bought the Kératene, but I think very valid tests were performed to determine if the product is working or not, otherwise baldness will continue to progress and reach a point that may not be able to reverse this case and you wasted time, money and your hair. Here is the company's response:
Julio: Hello *****
I am sending herewith the table that make tracking my results. The Kératene was not effective, no change in DHT after 26 days of use.
I would like if possible to know what you think of it.
Thank you.
Company:Hi Julio,
thank you so much for the results, we received the values.
The medical team and our support team is currently on vacation till July 15.
In order to analyze the issue, we need more details about the procedure.
From the attachment I can not see which test method was used for your tests.
What did they use? RIA, EIA, ELISA, LCTMS?
Also, please let me know, if prior tot the test, if you had any sorts of nuts, supplements, soy products, pumpkin seeds or any form of medication.
Many thanks.
Julio: Hello
The method used was the ELISA.
Yes, before you start using Kératene I consumed soy milk, but one month before starting the capsules Kératene, I aborted the consumption of milk. I think this may have influenced in an increase in testosterone, but do not understand why did not reduce DHT absolutely nothing, in fact, even increased slightly. All this history exams DHT were made with the same method in the same time and in the same laboratory, total competence.
Thank you.
Julio
Company: see,
ELISA explains partially the problem with the results.
ELISA has a very high technical and procedural bias.
We tried it once and quit it immediately due to the large variation between two tests under controlled situation.
We recommend using RIA (radioimmunoassay) or – much better – LCTMS (liquid chromatoscopy tandem mass spectometry).
These 2 methods are much more reliable than EIA or ELISA and the accuracy of the results is far greater.
Also, please do not consume any vegetable sterols (nuts, seeds of any sorts and also no soy products of any sort) with at least 7 days prior to the collection of the blood.
These foods/substances are known to affect the relation between various endocrine factors and DHT.
Anyway, we’ll send you another product, from a more recent batch, with a slightly more stable formula, after July 15.
My request is however that if you want to retest the values, please look for a lab that runs RIA or LCTMS, not ELISA.
I will not conduct further tests because it does not make sense to me. Reduction of DHT is reduced DHT, no matter the method. If this reduction occurs using Finasteride in method X, it should occur using the method Kératene X too.
Anyway, just found it interesting to pass this information to friends here.Comment

When you did DHT tests prior to and while taking fin, how much did your DHT decrease?Comment

I do not remember exactly the right number, but somewhere around 400 with Fina.
I got to talk to them when used in fine, all tests were made with this method and in the same laboratory, showing the efficiency of Fine regarding the reduction in DHT, but I'm still waiting for the answer.Comment

Julio what is your instinct telling you about this product? To me, it's too good to be true, one more user blood result like yours and ill be convinced it's a con. But why does cob react so badly on one capsule, even claiming penile shrinkage, yet I've had six capsules in 3 says and feel no ill effects whatsoever?Comment
