I have been advised that Keratene Alphactive Retard is a viable replacement to finasteride as a DHT controller and in combination with minoxidil is a great regime. I know there is a lot of knowledgeable people here, can anyone attest to this advice?

are there side effect benefits to taking this over Propecia?

It's supposed to lower DHT by 25% compared to 70% with finasteride, it seems legit.
Might be interesting if you have really mild hair loss and you're scared of side effects, but finasteride (Propecia) will always work better than this.

If it only lowers DHT levels by 25%, it is unlikely to help much at all with hair loss. Perhaps with very mild hair loss it may help, as the above poster has mentioned, but for most Androgenetic Alopecia sufferers, a much stronger DHT suppressor (i.e. finasteride or dutasteride) would be necessary. When it comes to side effects, the unfortunate truth is that there is a direct linear relationship between level of DHT suppression, side effects, and hair gains. Lowering DHT by 25% as opposed to 70% will give far less sides, but will also be far less helpful in treating Androgenetic Alopecia. I myself am a dutasteride user, and thankfully in my case, I have only very minimal side effects that are very tolerable (mainly just that my libido is slightly reduced). However, for those whose bodies do not cope so well with systemic DHT suppression, it is a tough situation. At the end of the day, each person has to decide for himself which is more important, saving his hair at the expense of side effects, or losing his hair without such side effects.

Most docs that I talked to know keratene retard and suggest using this as an alternative to finasteride.

I use it myselve for a short time only, so I can not really comment on it. However since it seems to be accepted by Hair docs it probably works.

it's a scam, don't waist money and time on that. There are old threads in this forum and *********talk which showed 0 results.
