THE BALD TRUTH
Learn more about the causes of hair lossand what you can do to prevent it.
The Problem
Male Pattern Baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common form of hair loss. And it happens earlier than anyone expects. In fact, 2 out of 3 guys will experience some form of MPB by the time they’re 35. Even with today’s advancements in science, there’s still no known cure. The good news? There are proven treatments that can combat the symptoms.
The Causes
Genetics are the most common cause of hair loss. But don’t blame Mom. You can inherit the baldness trait from either side of your family. A recent study found that there are actually 287 genetic regions that contribute to male pattern baldness.
External factors can also play a role. Using harsh chemical dyes and relaxers can exacerbate the situation, while stress or an unbalanced diet can also lead to additional hair loss.
The Treatments
Good news. There are two safe and effective formulas — minoxidil and finasteride — that are FDA-approved for preventing hair loss. Depending on whether you have a receding hairline, balding at the crown, or overall hair loss, your provider may recommend one or both of these treatments.
In addition, Keeps offers a prescription shampoo to help clear your head of any dandruff, itching, or flakiness that can prevent your hair from looking as good as possible.
Minoxidil (generic Rogaine®) is a topical treatment that’s most effective for regrowth along the top of your head and crown.
Finasteride (generic Propecia®) is a prescription pill that’s primarily used to stop further hair loss across the entirety of your head, including receding hairlines.
About Chew+
Keeps’ Chew+ contains 2 prescription-strength medications (dutasteride 0.2-0.5 mg and LDOM 2.5 mg) that help combat hair loss and 3 supplements that support hair follicle health and function (biotin, vitamin C and zinc).
- Dutasteride works to slow down hair loss and help regrow hair in men dealing with male pattern baldness. While it’s not officially FDA-approved for hair loss in the U.S. (though it is approved in Japan and South Korea), research shows that about 9 out of 10 men see improvement when taking this medication, and some experience significant regrowth. Most people start noticing results around 4 to 6 months after beginning treatment, with hair continuing to improve over time.
- LDOM is an oral form of topical minoxidil which is commonly used to regrow hair. While this medication is not FDA-approved for hair loss, studies have shown that it has been helpful in slowing hair loss and in some cases regrowing hair.
Please note that we do not recommend using topical products containing dutasteride, finasteride or minoxidil when taking Chew+, nor do we recommend taking any additional supplements containing biotin, vitamin C, or zinc.
Instructions
Chew 1 tablet daily. Take with or without food.
Possible Side Effects
Oral dutasteride is generally well-tolerated, with potential side effects affecting only a small percentage of patients. It is important to be mindful of these potential side effects before initiating treatment.
Sexual side effects of dutasteride can include: Decrease in sex drive, trouble getting or keeping an erection, problems with ejaculation or orgasm, testicular pain, or blood in semen
While unlikely, a small subset of patients may also encounter decreased semen volume and reduced sperm count, potentially affecting fertility and complicating conception.
Additional side effects of dutasteride: Depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts and behavior, allergic reactions including rash, itching, hives and swelling of the lips, tongue, throat, and face, and breast tenderness and enlargement (gynecomastia).
In the majority of cases, these side effects tend to resolve upon discontinuation of the medication. However, there have been rare instances of patients continuing to experience side effects even after stopping the medication, including decrease in sex drive, trouble getting or keeping an erection, problems with ejaculation or orgasm, testicular pain, reduced fertility, gynecomastia, and exacerbation of depression or anxiety symptoms.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.
Notably, dutasteride is contraindicated in patients with a history of prostate cancer unless they have undergone complete prostate removal. Although dutasteride decreases the overall risk of prostate cancer, some studies suggested a slight increase in the risk of high-grade prostate cancer. However, a subsequent study indicated that this did not translate into a higher mortality rate for these patients.
There have been extremely rare reports of patients developing male breast cancer while taking dutasteride, although no direct, conclusive evidence has been established linking the two.
Individuals with a history of significant liver disease should avoid dutasteride. Additionally, caution is advised when using dutasteride in patients with depression, as it may exacerbate symptoms. Finally, dutasteride is not recommended for use in women or children, and pregnant women should avoid handling crushed or broken dutasteride tablets due to the potential risk of birth defects in male fetuses.
Patients should not donate blood until 6 months after their last dose of dutasteride.
There are some very rare but serious side effects with LDOM, which include the following: Lightheadedness / dizziness, racing or irregular heart beat, fluid retention, which can lead to swelling in the feet, lower legs, hands and around the eyes, as well as unexplained weight gain, and accumulation of fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion), which can very rarely interfere with heart function. Symptoms include chest, arm or shoulder pain, and shortness of breath.
If you experience any of these side effects, stop use and seek immediate medical attention. If you develop any heart conditions other than high blood pressure, discontinue use and contact us. It’s important to notify your primary care provider and other healthcare providers that you’re on this medicine. Some of the less serious side effects include unwanted facial and / or body hair growth and temporary shedding in the first 1-2 months of use.
VERY IMPORTANT: If you take biotin supplements (Vitamin B7), you should know that they can interfere with certain blood tests and cause incorrect results. This includes important tests like troponin (used to check for heart attacks), thyroid tests, and hormone levels. To get accurate lab results, stop taking biotin at least 48-72 hours before any blood work, and always tell your providers and the lab if you’re taking biotin supplements.

Frequently asked questions
What is Chew+?
What is Chew+?
Chew+ is a 5-in-1 compound prescription chewable tablet combining dutasteride, minoxidil, biotin, vitamin C, and zinc. It's the most effective oral Keeps formula — designed for progressive hair loss with a stronger DHT blocker and full nutrient support in one daily citrus-flavored chew.
What's the difference between dutasteride and finasteride?
What's the difference between dutasteride and finasteride?
Both are DHT blockers used to treat male pattern hair loss. Finasteride blocks one type of the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT. Dutasteride blocks multiple types, making it a more comprehensive DHT blocker. Dutasteride is typically recommended for progressive hair loss where finasteride alone may not be sufficient.
Why a chew instead of a pill?
Why a chew instead of a pill?
The chewable format allows Keeps to combine five active ingredients into a single daily dose — something that isn't possible with standard tablets. The citrus flavor makes it easy and pleasant to take consistently. No water needed, no multiple pills to manage.
Is Chew+ safe? What are the side effects?
Is Chew+ safe? What are the side effects?
Chew+ combines two prescription-strength medications — dutasteride and low-dose oral minoxidil — that are generally well-tolerated and considered safe for most men. Like all prescriptions, Chew+ may cause side effects in a small percentage of patients, including sexual side effects. Chew+ should never be taken by women. For a full overview of possible side effects, see the Chew+ medication overview. Contact your medical provider if you have any concerns about potential side effects.
What sort of results timeline should I expect?
What sort of results timeline should I expect?
Timelines vary by individual. Typically, shedding slows within months 1–3 as treatment activates at the follicle. Visible regrowth often begins around months 4–6. Peak results typically appear around 9–12 months, with density continuing to improve up to 18 months. Daily, consistent use is essential.
