how to reduce DHT - Male and
female adults can lose hair as a consequence of changes in the metabolism of
androgen in the body (commonly in men), this is usually caused by a buildup of DHT in the scalp which can impede the
flow of nutrients to the hair follicles.
What is DHT?

DHT is
short for Dihydrotestosterone, is actually male sex hormone, an androgen. DHT
synthesized in the adrenal glands, prostate, hair follicles, testes.
DHT occurs
when the enzymes of the skin and scalp make contact with testosterone.
DHT plays
a major role in hair loss, is the enemy of hair follicles on your head. Under
certain conditions DHT wants those hair follicles dead by blocking the nutrients
supply.
DHT on the
other hand is essential in the development of male characteristics during
puberty such as facial hair, muscular appearance etc.
In later
in man life, DHT only has a causative role in acne, prostatic hypertrophy (enlargement
of the prostate), and hair loss.”
DHT causes balding
DHT is not
directly causing the hair to fall out, but DHT actually restricts the follicles
ability to produce hair growth by blocking the nutrients flow to hair follicles.
But balding is genetic, some people aren’t affected by DHT in the scalp but in those who have a genetic tendency to hair loss, the hair follicles are particularly sensitive to the effects of DHT.
