    Hair grows around 10-15cm in length per year, that averages to roughly 1cm per month. Since a lot of the medication we're using usually causes a shed which can last many months and another 5-6 weeks of the hair in a resting phase, 1 month is typically too short of a time to gauge growth although its often possible to see small hair sprout.

      Heres my opinion, btw i am taking it 3x/week one capsule a day, using shampoo/ serum 2x/week, been on topicals almost 3 months and capsules around 1.5-2 months

      Has it helped my hair? I think so, its just easier to style and manage and looks better,

      Downside - im struggling with weight issues inspite of an insanely healthy diet, regular gym usage. i feel like my gyno is resurfacing, i am worried sick the lump beneath my nipple is returning, i am going to show it tomorrow to see what the deal is, i obviously dont want to discontinue but i dont want gyno back so i am really in a catch 22 at the moment,
      Currently using DIM, Zinc and resveratrol to try to combat the sides but not really working as i hoped

        When did you undergo gyno surgery? How involved was the recovery process? Are you happy with the results post surgery?

          Hi all,

          This is my first post on this forum

          I have been gradually losing my hair since late teens, i would say i am a norwood 2.5 ish. I check on this forum every other day praying for the answer to this curse. Anyway i was too scared to use fin and currently use minox/niz combo. When i saw this about keratene alphactive retard I thought maybe my prayers for a hold off treatment until histogen/anderans comes along were answered.

          So seeing all the hype and due to the bold claims of no sides on their website I decided to buy the capsules from prohair clinic. I took 1 a day for the past 2 weeks. Even from the third day i noticed little to no hairs in the shower compared with 7-10 previously.
          Then the fifth or so day the dreaded fin sides kicked in. I get weak erections and watery cum and my sex drive has decreased massively. I know people dont want to hear this but i really need some advice. How can the company claim no sides?
          I really don't know what to do, should i carry on and these sides will go away? or stop and be in the same position and hope my sex drive comes back?

          I guess i'm one of the unlucky ones who get bad sides?
          Should the sides of worn off by now?(even tho there shouldn't be these kind of sides with this!) ? From the posts above nobody else seems to get sides with this which makes me so frustrated that this is just my luck!

          Thanks in advance!

            Are you taking anything other medications? I think 5 days is too soon to impact libido/associated functions. Guess even fin takes a long time to show up any sexual dysfunction. But that's just my opinion. In any case, Have you reached out to the primary Keratene company (not prohair clinic) and discussed your symptoms? What is their feedback?

              Thanks for your reply.

              I am in the middle of writing an email to them.
              I will post their reply on here!

              I understand it is quite soon and i understand the whole all in your head thing but i have no doubt my erections are weak and my cum is watery.
              I also dont doubt i stopped loosing as many hairs. If i didnt get the sides i would 100% back this product. Maybe its just a 1 in a 100 thing and im the 1

              I am not on any other medication.

                You should probably get your DHT levels tested.

                  I hear ya ! Just like minox works well for many people but gives me rashes - had to take oral corticosteroid to get rid of them.

                  Hopefully your symptoms are because of something else and not related to Keratene.

                    These are common side effects . Most of us have experienced these but for many of us they subside within 90 days.

                      Sides can happen 100% and i dont doubt you, my libido is also lower but not low enough to ring alarm bells, However i have outlined my gyno + weight issues with only 3times a week usage so you are not the only one,
                      I also believe my hair is being helped and want to power through if i can

                        This is probably my next step i think. Just the cost thats stopping me at the moment. Im Ł100 down at the minute if i decide to stop taking these capsules

                        Dry bone - I understand about the common sides but this company claims no sides which is why i started taking them

                        I wish i joined this forum sooner. Feel better just having someone to talk about it with. Thanks guys ill let you know what keratene reply!

                          Ye i agree, i have managed to have sex during this time it just took me longer to get an erection and my cum is watery. I think my main concern is it maybe effecting my probability of having children because i am still quite young.

                          I dont really understand gyno. Do your peck muscles just gradually sag ? How bad do you get it?

                            Hey guys! Im new here, first post! 29 years old and this is my first attempt at halting my hair loss. I have been using keratene pills 2x day and topicals 2x week for the last 3 weeks or so. I haven't noticed any sides from the pills at all. The serum made me feel very faint and dizzy on one occasion but all fine apart from that. Noticing less hair on my pillow in the morning and in my hands during showers....and my hair and scalp do feel pretty good after using the serum....but the million dollar question still remains, will it be an effective dht blocker?

                              I seriously advice you to control your intake. 2 capsules of Keratene has sterol complex dosage of almost 3g/day. Anything above that is not good and can create problems with Vitamen A metabolism. Remember that the Serum has Sterol Complex in it as well. So my brotherly advice is either to apply the serum and take one capsule in different times a day OR take 2 capsules and quit the serum. Too much DHT lowering will definitely create sides in other ways if not sexually. I might be wrong but this is my personal opinion.

                                7 months ago, I was but am starting to thing the surgeon left too much gland behind, otherwise i cant understand how i can be getting some reoccurence already?
                                Recovery sucked, i could barely move for 5-6 days, v painful
