FAQs
Q1. How does Keraglo Men address the hormonal cause of male pattern hair loss?
A1. Male pattern hair loss is primarily driven by DHT — a testosterone derivative that progressively miniaturises hair follicles over time. Keraglo Men contains Beta Sitosterol, a plant sterol that inhibits 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT. Alongside this, the formula provides amino acids (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, L-Methionine) and zinc, which are the structural building blocks for keratin — the protein that makes up the hair strand itself. The result is a dual approach: reducing the hormonal trigger while supplying the raw materials for stronger hair growth.
Q2. How does Beta Sitosterol compare to Finasteride for DHT inhibition?
A2. Finasteride is a pharmaceutical 5-alpha reductase inhibitor with stronger inhibitory effect and substantial clinical evidence for pattern hair loss. Beta Sitosterol is a gentler, plant-derived alternative with a more favourable side-effect profile. For early-stage thinning, Beta Sitosterol in a supplement like Keraglo Men can provide effective maintenance. For moderate-to-advanced androgenetic alopecia with significant crown recession, a dermatologist may recommend Finasteride as a prescription option alongside or instead of this supplement.
Q3. How and when should I take it?
A3. One tablet daily, with food. The borage oil in the formula (the source of GLA) is fat-soluble and absorbs better with a meal containing some dietary fat. Consistency of daily use matters more than the specific time of day — taking it with a regular meal makes it easier to maintain the habit long term.
Q4. How long before I see results?
A4. Reduced shedding — fewer hairs on the pillow or in the shower — is often the first change, typically noticeable at 8–12 weeks. Visible improvement in hair density and strand thickness takes longer: 4–6 months of consistent daily use. For those also using topical minoxidil, the combination tends to show measurable improvement sooner than either approach alone.
Q5. Can I use it alongside Kera-M Minoxidil Solution?
A5. Yes — this combination is frequently recommended by dermatologists for a more comprehensive approach. Keraglo Men addresses the hormonal and nutritional side of hair loss systemically; Kera-M Solution acts directly on the scalp follicles through vasodilation. They do not interfere with each other. Use consistently rather than switching between them.
Q6. Are there any known side effects?
A6. Keraglo Men is well-tolerated by most men. The iron content can occasionally cause mild digestive discomfort — taking it with food minimises this. Beta Sitosterol at the concentrations used in supplements has a good safety record in otherwise healthy adults. If you're on medications for cholesterol, blood pressure, or any condition affecting iron metabolism, check with your doctor before starting.
