Has anyone tried BHB Plus nutritional supplement?

I read about it in a low carb book then looked it up on the web. It is supposed to clean your liver and on the web several women reported it helped their hair grow back.

If so, I would guess it works like this: A clean liver helps filter excess estrogen which can bind with T4 preventing it's conversion to T3 thus resulting in an under performing thyroid hormone related hair loss. This thyroid related hair loss can happen even if the lab test numbers are OK because the unoppsed estrogen affects the thyroid hormone function not the thyroid function itself.

I think we PCOSers can have more then one reason for loosing hair. One is excess androgen and another is thyroid hormone related (which would also contribute to fatigue.)

Any ideas?
