Moderator: moderators
Hello all,
This is Eric Murphy, President of Bear Biotech, soon to be Black Bear Naturals. Hopefully the moderator will be kind to me, as I have been kicked off other forums for no good reason. I will try to not "promote" our product and will focus on answering questions.
I can see that this is a well-informed bunch of people, some with some strict dietary requirements. Unfortunately, with the Densiti regimen, it is quite strict, as we have not had the time or resources to investigate the effectivity of such variables of fermented vs. unfermented soy, etc.
We have settled on recommending unfermented soymilk for the regimen because, it works, it's easily obtained and it's low cost. For the general consumer, soymilk is the most easy solution for soy intake. My hunch is that fermented soy will not be as effective as soymilk, but I have no proof of this.
Densiti has been in development for 4 years. At the beginning, the regimen required taking over 10 capsules per day. We now were able to get it to work with 4 000 size capsules per day by using the highest quality, and expensive ingredients. The Densiti capsules may only have 2 ingredients, green tea extract and Bacillus coagulans, but it took a lot of effort to find the correct combination and grades of ingredients to get it to work. It is possible to get the same effect as Densiti off-the-shelf ingredients, but you will need to consume a lot more capsules per day and that will likely be even be more expensive than Densiti.
I get a lot of criticism about the regimen (primarily the soy) from people picky about what they consume. Please keep in mind that the people of Southeast Asia have a high intake of such foods as soy and green tea, and they are some of the healthiest, longest living people in the world. It is also no coincidence that they have the highest rate of equol-producers in the world.
Also, just look at the alternatives, there are not many good treatments for hair loss. I have personally used minoxidil, and it was only a short-term solution for me. Finasteride was out of the question for me. Other products usually only help in conjunction with other hair loss products, and that can be expensive!
Densiti works, and I believe that it has the potential to displace minoxidil and finasteride as the first-line treatment for hair loss. It will probably take a few years for it to prove itself as a successful product and establish credibility with the masses. For now, you can simply try it and see as an early adopter. If you are not willing to be an early adopter, then Densiti may not be for you.
Finally, I will say that we believe that Densiti is safe. I have personally be on the regimen for 4 years with no ill effects, and others have also successfully picked up the regimen with no noticeable side-effects. Just look at the ingredients of the regimen and you can see there is nothing really "bad" here. It just so happens that when these ingredients are put together correctly, the person is very likely to produce equol.
We will be releasing more information about Densiti in the future with an official product launch later this summer. In the meantime, please see densiti.com for some initial information about the product.
Thank you,
Eric Murphy
1. How long must one take Densiti til they start seeing results?
3-6 weeks is typical. One person, an older gentleman, took 8 weeks. Even so, the response time is much faster than I could have ever hoped for.
2. Will this product work for everyone if they follow it to the core?
Right now our success rate for people that have claimed they have followed the regimen is over 75%. This is a very good number, but I still have my doubts that the other 25% correctly followed instructions. One thing we have learned from this project, it's hard to get people to follow instructions...
3. You've said you been taking this product for 4 years. Have you gotten any results?
Oh yes. If I had never invented Densiti and just let my hairloss go, I would definitely be about a Norwood 4 or worse right now. Instead, I am about a Norwood 2. I used to be losing hair everywhere, at least several hundred hairs a day. For example, hairs all over in the shower every morning. Now, I do not have that problem.
4. Sometimes my schedule gets hectic. Is it alright to miss a day here and there?
Yes, that should be OK, but I would not recommend doing it within the first 8 weeks when you are trying to get established with the regimen.
Their shake mix looks good. 
Ausio’s first product in clinical development is AUS-131, also known in the literature as S-equol
Animal studies have shown that AUS-131 down regulates the expression of the androgen receptor (AR). The growth of the prostate is regulated through the AR by the androgens testosterone and dihydrotestosterone. Since AUS-131 reduces the amount of the AR, growth is inhibited. This novel mechanism of action does not affect androgen levels, thus improving the quality of life for the man with prostate disorders.
