Natural DHT Inhibitors
With all the technology invented in the last two decades, the function of hair loss is only now beginning to be understood.
Male or female pattern baldness, known as androgenetic alopecia, is only now fully understood. It was originally believed to be caused by too much testosterone, a hormone that most people relate to as being a male hormone, but is also found in trace amounts in females.
Now scientists believe that while testosterone is a factor in going bald, it is DHT that is the true cause. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a derivative of testosterone. Previously doctors thought that it was the levels of circulating testosterone in the body that signaled hair loss issues, but now they believe it's really linked to the DHT binding to the hair follicle's receptors.
