All About DHT and Hair Loss
Noticed your hair falling out? Whether you’ve spotted more hairs than normal on your pillow, in the shower drain catch or on your clothing, it’s easy to panic when you notice your hair thinning at a faster pace than normal.
If you’ve spent enough time researching hair loss, then you have certainly come across the term “DHT Blockers”. For starters, DHT stands for dihydrotestosterone. It is a hormone that is derived from testosterone and is believed to be one of the main reasons most persons experience hair loss.
Normal levels of DHT promotes the production of facial, axillary, pubic, and body hair whereas excessive levels of DHT can contribute to baldness and prostate problems in men and female pattern hair loss in women.
Now that you know a little bit about DHT and what it does, it’s easier to understand why DHT blockers are a thing. Using DHT blockers may help return your DHT levels to normal and allow your hair to regrow.
