Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega-Tek Challenge

[LondonDiva]

Good Goodness this thread is amazing and so entertaining and I haven't even put drop one of the OCT or the MT on my scalp!!

London girl.....you broke it down for them...I mean all the way down....to the nth degree. They are going to have to consult their chemists to make sure they come back on the real. You know we can send samples out to an independant lab for an analysis of the ingredients... That may not be a bad idea.... :scratchch

I'm sure there are some ladies on this board that may work in a lab or know someone that does.

I can't believe it 6 years on here and never would I have thought to take one of our products and send it off for lab testing. It's really gotten that deep.

Well it's after 2am and I have to be up at 7am but you know as tired as I am I'm off to Mega-Tek

Take your pretty self to We'll hold down the Fort until you wake up, I got the night shift, it's 9:08 pm EST Have a good night's

I'm all up in this thread and I haven't used the product either! lol

And yes, today I was wondering if there are any chemists on the board that could use their knowledge and skills to find out the proportion of ingredients.

I think we should definately persue this because the difference in price for the two products is remarkable! For those spending the extra dollars (I ordered the Mega-Tek) I am sure they (I would too) want to know the actual difference between the products, and we can't determine the ingredient ratios by looking at the list of ingredients list on the side of the bottles.

Great minds think alike :scratchch

 

[LondonDiva]

Well the average price of Mega Tek is say $23 for 16oz or so from the prices I've seen. And OCT is $60 for 12oz

Say you go through 1 bottle every 2 months. **cough for me 1 bottle (of MT) a month I use this stuff everyday and every pore gets coated**

Over the course of a year (based on 6 bottles - except the Gallon example)

OCT = $360 for 72oz ($5 per oz)
MT = $138 for 96oz ($1.43 per oz)
MT in a gallon 128oz $185 = ($0.69 per oz)

So thats $3.57 - $4.31oz difference.
We could find an LHCFer who's a chemist so we can keep it in the (niko) family.

Wait... shouldn't you be in bed? lol

[luckiestdestiny]

Okay I hope I don't die....

That sounds dramatic but I am freaking a little. I ordered the OCT and I thought maybe it would take too long so I ordered Mega tek 2 day because it's so cheap. I thought, I'd have two, and decide which one I like better. I checked Equine Cell Rebuilder in a search, on the cite it listed this too. So then I click in, and didn't pay attention. Just selected the product as only one showed up and ordered. So I get it, put it on my head, and realize it's the purple one! It's for animals I think not Equine. No where on the bottle does it say Equine. Should I shampoo early? I only shampoo once a week and I just did it. Someone help me!!!! I emailed the company but they are CLOSED for the day! What do you think I should do? It does say non toxic but it's for animals not equine only....

It's 2:42am and honestly I'm not feeling too good already decided not going in tomorrow. Plus I'm addicted to LHCF.

 

[AfroKink]

Note: I'm doing all of this research to prevent an impulse buy. Ordering megatek OR ovation will cause me to pay crazy shipping prices plus I might have to pay additional taxes when it comes across the border into Canada. If I can stall for a month, I can get it when I move to the states and it will be relatively cheaper

I totally know what you mean about being addicted to this board. I have a hard time tearing myself away from ya'll!!

You can practice your stuffy head cold voice now so you'll be ready to call in the morning!!

At least one LCHFer is using the pet one (the one you got) marked "megatek coat rebuilder". The ingredients for this one were compared to the megatek equine and ovation about 2 pages back. The all seem to have the same active ingredient. My research on the megatek pet shows that it is also indicated as being okay for human use. I think this is the one I'd end up getting because it's marketed as increasing growth by 30-50% (yes, I'm a sucker for advertisment) and the goodies that the LCHFs picked out (hydrolyzed keratin protein, amino acids, mucopolysaccharides, andmarine protein) are higher on the list.

*I feel kinda lame for knowing so much about a product I only discovered today*

How about if one of us send it to you?? USPS has an a flat rate International shipping envelope for $10.00 (you can ship up to 4.0 pounds) and if you mark gift on it, it doesn't go through customs. I sell on Ebay and I send stuff to Europe and all over like that.

 

[luckiestdestiny]

That makes me feel soooo much better. I was reading some of the pages of thread and people were asking which one to get and there was an emphasis on "equine" being safe for human use. Okay, so someone else is using it and they're still alive and it's safe for humans too? All is well in my universe. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

 

[AtlantaJJ]

I'm going to check on finding the products locally... I want to try the avocado spray and the cream rinse!

Thanks for the offer! My parents live in the states. So if I cave and decide to go for it, I'd rather cause them the hassel than one of you guys. But again, I'm cheap enough to wait 1 month to save $10


ETA: if there's $10 flate rate shipping, why are companies trying to change me ~$30?!?!!? arg!

Ovation has cured my pj-ism. I have two tubes of MN that will be returned. My slow-growing nape, is a mass of fuzz three weeks post. Is anyone else seeing their new growth to be of a different texture?

I won't be replenishing my Biotin anymore either.

 

[lovelymissyoli]

OP, please add me to the list of challengers. I washed my freshly flat ironed hair this morning to put twists back in. I couldn't just sit back on getting 1/4" in 6 days . I'm going to see if I can keep that growth rate up so I've got to be serious about applying MT daily!

Definitely softer. Less coarse, but still thick.

 

[Jetblackhair]

I basically had to write it to let them know I know a lot about the products so they couldn't come back and tell me any fart. I want proof in exchange for $60 and some more hurr.

I can imagine everyone sitting at the round table trying to come up with the right answer b/c they are not going to be able to fool you..."she must be the leader of the group..."well, we already know she's going to report back everything we say to LHCF".

I just find that statement to be so funny. It's ok though, you're doing your research.

did you get your tracking number atl?

Just an opinion, I wouldn't stop taking supplements, since you are growing new hair your body will actually need more vitamins and minerals to build the cells of the hair...if anything I'm going to step up my protein intake <I need to because I'm working out anyway> and I will stay on my biotin and silica and MSN, it will help improve the texture of the new hair you are growing.... JMHO

I agree. I will be staying on my supplements.

I got my tracking number in yesterdays email...I am counting down the days until it arrives!

WOW that's amazing!! I want my MT already!!

Definitely softer. Less coarse, but still thick.

The suspense is killin me!

You know that's right, I'd love to see THAT on UTube!!

did you get your tracking number atl?

I am about to have a fit!! I checked my tracking number and it hasn't been scanned yet..which doesn't mean it hasn't been shipped, it just means we won't know until it shows up at our front door

I just find that statement to be so funny. It's ok though, you're doing your research.

She is all on the case!!

Don't mind at all... I'm only giving up Biotin because I still take other stuff... a multivit, MSM, and EPO. Keeping these because they have multiple benefits. MSM has been good for my complexion. EPO has been good for my PMS and getting Omegas. Biotin seems to be helping my nails more than my hair.
