KÉRATENE Alphactive ® Retard

[hellouser]

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 think

Definitely too soon, hair growth cycle lasts 2 months or more. You'll need quite a bit of time and persistence to see results before hair grows in and turns terminal. At worst, you could maintain your hair long enough until Aderans and Histogen are available.

Don't stop too early, keep at it.

Starting to lose a little faith in the product, im having around 5 capsules a week now, using shampoo+serum 3x a week as well, but my hair is deteriorating, just looking so lifeless recently, has me very worried because if this doesnt do it my hair is history

Will probably switch from sercomplex to ultra topical and give it another go

Perhaps youre going through a shed?

I hope so, but im not really losing more hair than usual, just looking really thin and when i run my hands through it just feels sparse

[Henkeh91]

I'm about to order the capsules but my hair is thinned out all over the head (except back or the sides) like this guy to the right:

The Prohairclinic site says:
"This product is not effective in cases of alopecia totalis, alopecia universalis and alopecia androgenetica NW4, NW5 and NW6 as well as Ludwig 3 where total loss of hair density has already occured."

Is it worth buying or is it just waste of money?

Are you experiencing side effects from taking Keratene capsules?

You had mentioned before you were having issues with penis shrinkage, Cob. Is this at all true still?

[Cob984]

yea it is,
Also still have the fatigue and mild cognitive sides, today i used serum plus popped the pills 2 days in a row and i feel like a complete daze, still hair looking like shit

I feel defeated right now

Im not a doctor or an expert, but I would advice you from the heart not take the serum along with capsules. Its not good in my opinion. They told me that the recommended dose of Keratene which 2 capsules a day contain 1g of Sterol Complex. This is the maximum dose that a man could tolerate safely. Anything above it will affect the metabolism of Vitamin A and you will feel the fatigue more.

Try to make a final decision of whether to take the Capsules or Serum alone. However you can use their shampoo as its not a big deal. If I were you, I would take the capsules and apply some minoxidil topically. "Too much of a thing is not a good thing".

Good luck Bro.

from hairloss talk
"2.5 months on Keratene after dropping Saw Palmetto and CET..and I have lost a lot of ground

Keratene gives me skin rashes periodically and I have body hair growth spurts in certain areas, while other areas it has subsided...I have read reports where Keratene had grown back body hair that had, for some reason, been lost...

Don't know what is going on with Keratene, but so far it isn't good at this point..one thing for sure, Keratene doesn't not give you sexual sides at all...but I don't know if its powerful enough...going to bring in a smaller dose of Saw Palmetto to help push the matte""

Not looking good guys, i am also experiencing a lot of temple recession recently which is very disconcerting, my hair isnt exactly responding and the sides are irritating

[clandestine]

2.5 months is not long enough, you know this already.

The guy says sexual sides aren't possible on Keratene, yet you yourself are experiencing them, Cob? How can you then take anything this poster says at face value, if it is contradictory to your own experiences?

[Cob984]

hes a very legit poster over there,
Also i experienced penile shrinkage but my libido is still fine, saw palmetto damages it more than keratene does,
I have increased my intake of the capsules, i have it 5 times a week now with the serum/shampoo remaining 2 days, and my hair is looking very thin, i am also losing ground on the temples, this has me worried

[Cob984]

Guys How are the rest of you responding to the capsules hair wise?

I just wrote to keratene customer service and got the most ridiculous answer which doesnt inspire confidence of any kind.---See responses below

I have no idea why, can be an immense number of factors.
Simply quit the therapy and use something more conventional.

Yes, indeed, it seems the product does not really help in your case (it can happen actually) and in this situation it’s best to consider other options.
There are other products on the market that might help, eg. Priorin vitamins or the amino acids ampules from Crescina Switzerland. You could give them a try...
Regarding DHT management, you can try some new, experimental substances or even enroll in some clinical trials in India or Asia. Usually such events are posted on medical forums of the endocrinology faculties or university hospitals. I guess it’s worth looking into this detail.

[LongWayHome]

Cob, on the other hand this is a very objective answer,
I thought they would tell you "Keep using it for another 6 months and then take a decision." They admit that their product is not "perfect".
Now off the topic, do you use the serum on a wet or dry scalp?
Still confuses me.

[Cob984]

They are encouraging me to try absolutely dodgy products and alternatives?
I can understand if they say maybe your hair doesnt respond to dht reduction, but to say use another dht blocker shows 0 confidence in the product

Serum on a wet hot scalp,
Btw let me know how the RU works

[ovoxo]

one user from *** got his levels tested before using, and is expected to post after keratene levels, so we'll know...
