If i remember correctly, you had mentioned earlier that your original DHT levels were already low/within reference range. I am sorry to say but taking Keratene or Propecia is not likely to reduce your DHT by a big factor. I think only people with moderate/high DHT might see a noticeable drop if any. I am not a doctor but in my opinion, your hair loss may not be DHT related. Trying to reducing your DHT further if it's already under reference range might do you more harm than good.

Yes it was within the reference range. However the company had still said it should still reduce it much more significantly than the amount ive seen it reduced by. I assumed my follicles just have high sensitivity to DHT. I dont know what other reason I could be losing my hair. Im losing it in the typical norwood pattern. at temples +crown + thinning on top. My uncle from my mothers side also was losing his hair at a young age of 19-20Comment

So a quick update. I only had a HT with Dr. Bisanga 7 weeks ago so want to help maintain what I have so I have been on the capsules (1 a day) for the last 5 weeks or so. To be honest I haven't really noticed any change in my hair loss but in fairness my hair loss seems to be very slow and continues to be. I certainly havent noticed any shedding and hair loss is minimal but again, im not entirely sure that's to do with the meds (I'm also on 5% generic minox) or whether i just have a slow receding pattern.
One thing is for certain though, i haven't experienced any side effects. I definitely suffered from lower libido with fin (which I gave up around 6 months ago) and my body hair reduced (not such a bad thing I suppose!!). I also lost all my morning woods on fin. All these symptoms are not present with keratene so this is only a good thing! Morning woods are as good as ever!!Comment

Makes sense why a lot of people dont get sides from this its because it doesnt work. If you lower DHT enough you might get sides but your helping your hair. If you want to lower DHT your best off taking propecia or even a tiny dose because we know it lowers DHT unlike this product which has flimsy evidence at best.Comment

Have already made my comments on this in my earlier posts above, but still...
His DHT levels are already quite low/within range and it is wishful thinking to expect a huge drop. Still with Keratene he was able to achieve a drop of 8%. It is possible that people with high DHT may see a much bigger percentage drop. I am taking this as a positive sign. I agree there is no conclusive evidence from forum users yet, but the product is new and only the next 6 months or so will prove whether it works or not.
Why would you recommend propecia to him? To drop his already low DHT to 0 and get sides as a bonus? Is that going to be a healthy scenario? If sides are indeed necessary to prove efficacy then it should noted that Cob and some users have been getting some sides with Keratene.

Yeah - thats probably why he got sides on fin, he has v low DHT levels to begin with.Comment

FINALLY got my capsules! Going to start tomorrow at one a day. Will give it a month then move to two a day if there are no sides.Comment

2 weeks - 1 capsule a day, no side effects, will give it another week with 1 capsule a day then move to 2 capsules a day; too soon to see some positive effect on hair I thinkComment
