The Role of DHT IN HAIR LOSS!

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a derivative of the male hormone testosterone, is the enemy of hair follicles on your head. ... For many years, scientists thought that andro-genetic alopecia was caused by the predominance of the male sex hormone, testosterone, which women also have in trace amounts under normal conditions.

The hormonal process of testosterone converting to DHT, which then harms hair follicles, happens in both men and women. Under normal conditions, women have a minute fraction of the level of testosterone that men have, but even a lower level can cause DHT- triggered hair loss in women.

MEN AND WOMEN ARE AFFECTED BY DHT.

The most accepted explanation is that adrenergic receptors on hair follicles, where hairs actually grow from, get activated by a hormone called dihydrotestosterone. When these receptors are activated, the hairs grow more slowly and the hairs that do grow get thinner. Hair follicles that are sensitive to DHT begin to miniaturize, shortening the lifespan of each hair follicle affected. Eventually, these affected follicles stop producing cosmetically acceptable hair.

WHY IS DHT THE MAIN REASON IN HAIR LOSS ON SOME PERSONS:

In some patients with a genetic predisposition to hair loss, a group of hormones called androgens interferes with the growth cycle of the hair. These androgen hormones-testosterone, Androsteinedione, and Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)- are dominant hormones in men, but are present in women to a lesser degree. Andro-genetic alopecia is a common form of hair loss in both men and women. In men, this condition is also known as male-pattern baldness. Hair is lost in a well-defined pattern, beginning above both temples. Over time, the hairline recedes to form a characteristic "M" shape. But while testosterone is at the core of the balding process, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is now thought to be the main culprit. DHT, a derivative of the male hormone testosterone, is the enemy of hair follicles on your head. Simply put, under certain conditions DHT wants those follicles dead.

WHAT IS DHT, AND WHAT'S IT'S RULE?

DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE is produced from testosterone in the prostate gland, testicles, adrenal glands and hair follicles, and the more DHT-testosterone produced, the more vulnerable you become to hair loss.

What are DHT BLOCKERS?

DHT Blockers are a group of natural herbs that has the ability to block the formation of the DHT which is a form of testosterone. This group contain also the famous PROPECIA.

Blocking DHT can be accomplished by:

  • Forbidding DHT from attaching to its preferred receptors in the hair follicles.
  • Inhibiting the production of the enzyme 5 alpha reductase which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, thus Reducing the production of DHT.
  • Reducing cholesterol which is responsible for the production of the enzyme 5 alpha reductase.
  • Consumption of natural DHT blocking herbs.
