Hi guys

This is a long first post. Apologies.

I'm not going to enter the debate re: does this product work/is it a scam? because I honestly don't know.

Just wanted to add a few comments that you may (or may not) find helpful.

From what I've read on the internet Ovation Cell Therapy is the same (or very similar to) Megatek Rebuilder. The same company is involved. I've read plenty of reviews about both and the feedback seems to be the products are virtually the same or even identical - but Ovation Cell Therapy is A LOT more expensive - probably because it's marketed for the human market whereas Mega tek is... well for horses and pets. Unfortunately I can't confirm whether these claims are true or not because I don't have the ingredients for Ovation Cell Therapy since I've never used it.

Secondly, and this is in response to the earlier posts in this thread commenting on the amount of hairloss experienced, apparently this is normal. Scary and a real bloody bummer, but normal nonetheless. Probably partly because it's a high protein content product and protein overload can cause hair breakage. Also if it does in fact accelerate hair growth then would it make sense that hair is going to go through an acelerated shedding phase too? I don't know. I'm no hair expert.

Anyway. Whatever the cause of the increased hair loss, to counteract it, many people have taken garlic pills with (it seems) much success. So I just wanted to pass that on in case it helped anyone here. Also don't forget to use a moisturising conditioner afterwards to counteract the high protein.

My background? I have just started using Mega Tek (only a couple of weeks). I don't know whether it works. My hair feels and looks thicker but that could be my imagination. I'm using it for thinning hair. My hair has always been very thick but over the last year it's become a lot thinner. I also lose a lot of hair generally but previously it didn't make much difference to the thickness. Now it's kind of see through in places (not a good look).

Oh and by the way, I don't work for Mega Tek/Ovation Cell Therapy/EQuiss or any other hair product company.

Here are the ingredients for the Mega Tek Equine Rebuilder as shown on my bottle:

Deionized water, Stearalkonium Chloride, Glycerol Stearate, Ceterearyl Alcohol (Derived from Palm Oil), Castor Oil, Ethoxylate(40), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Panthenol, Hydrolized Keratin Protein, Cetrimonium Chloride, Tetrasodium EDTA, DMDM Hydantoin, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Fragrance.

A lot of virtual hisses and boos I hear from you all!


Could anyone who has the Ovation Cell Therapy please post the ingredients shown on the label? I'm really curious to know whether the two are in fact the same product in different packaging.

I heard a radio advertisement for Ovation and it got me looking into it. I'm 28, and have rapidly thinning hair. I'm sad to see that everyone thinks it is a scam. I was hoping it would be worth buying. I mean even at $75 for a set of stuff for men seems like it's worth a try. Especially for me because my hair is buzzed short(1/4 inch), I only buy one thing of shampoo every 6-9 months. The last thing I want is to have my hair fall out though. I've tried Rogaine, but i found that it didn't help at all. Anyone have any suggestions on what has "worked" for you?

I have bought Ovation hair a month ago and I just found this website today and registered. I'm on this hair system for almost 2 weeks now and I noticed that my thinning hair is even faster. Nothing is falling out but the rapid thinning is noticeable. (I have thinning hair on the crown). It's even thinning my hair on the front above my forehead. It wasn't thinning before using this product. I used to tilt my head down in front of the mirror to look which part is thinning in front of the mirror before using this product. Now, I don't need to tilt my head to check it, I can now see through the my hair above my forehead, the part that didn't need help bec. it wasn't thinning. I can see more of my scalp now on top of my head. My scalp is also starting to feel itchy and irritated. I think this product is doing just the reverse of what they promised. I'm seriously thinking of returning Ovation hair and get my money back. Anyone else having the same experience with this product?

With the exception of 1 product ( the cream which contains amino acids ) the rest of the products protect and treat damaged hair. seems, this is not for hair regrowth
There are other alternatives , homemade masks and exercises
i've had success with MG method - regrown some hair at the forehead and slowed greatly the bald spot on the top of the head

the mega tek regrows horse hair?

ovation cell therapy

I have been using Ovation Cell therapy for about 9 months now. I really like what it has done for my hair. I had thin limp hair had to wash it every day so that it had some life to it. After using Ovation my hair looked and felt much healthier. I have less hair loss and breakage and I am able to wear my hair at a longer length than ever before. I also only have to wash it 2 times a week as there is more body to my hair now. I dont know that my hair grows any faster but what I do know is that its at the longest its ever been. I have recommended it to a few of my friends they are also having the same results.

Too much insulting on this thread for me to take any of you seriously. Thanks for the non-help guys. I need ANSWERS without the bitterness and sarcasm.

If people would stop feeding the snake oil salesmen maybe it would get better. Is it that hard to assume everything with MPB is a scam until they prove otherwise? The big 3 exists because otherwise 98 percent of everything else is just a scam or pseudo science and MPB is a great disease to scam people on because nothing works well and it takes tons of time to see results. There must be 300 MPB treatments with saw palmetto in them and none of them work so stop buying them

Jesus, this is a heated thread. I ran across it and found it interesting since I just bought Ovation about 3 weeks ago after tuning out all the hundreds of commercials I'd heard about it over the past many, many years. Anyway, I was never under the impression that they said it would regrow hair - just that it would make the hair you do have healthier and shinier and whatnot. Regardless, so far it's helped clear up my fickle scalp issues for the time being, and my hair is softer and shinier.... So for that, I'd say I'm getting my money's worth.

Regardless though, they offer a money back guarantee. Not sure why this is such a heated topic on the forum.... If you wanna try it, try it. If you don't like it, return it. I really don't understand the hostility...

Supporting snake oil isnt going to help lower the amount of it. People bad mouth the FDA but without them fin and minox would be lost in the sea of crap like this and the huge amount of random stories of what worked for some random guy for 3 months.
This is a snake oil if there ever was one. Lots of these cash in the fear people have over taking something like fin and lets be honest its a legit fear to an extent. I mean most men on it would take something safer if it existed. Long term hormone changing internally aint a good thing how will you know when you get grey hair or wrinkles or a million other things whether fin played any role? You never will but it could have even if no science exists to show that yet

Hair grew back where I had hair loss with ovation cell therapy

I agree with the guy who said, why all the hostility? Very suspicious.

I never heard an ad for this. My sister sent it to me. I had significant hair loss. I know they don't claim to make people's hair grow back and not everyone's does, but MY HAIR GREW BACK. It grew on bald scalp. I must've needed what it had.

I don't know if this is important or not, but I left the treatment in for a long time, often until the next day. I didn't bother to wash hair beforehand, though I would imagine that would only help.

[Mopo]

Yes....Im stopping it bcuz I have more hair loss than before I began Ovation Cell Therapy!
