The researchers have discovered some unique way on how to prevent the hormone to act on the receptors in the scalp in role of the dihydrotestosterone both in the male and the female pattern baldness. DHT Blockers are products that prevent those hormones.
Provillus is an example of an effective natural DHT Blocker for men and women. Dihydrotestosterone or DHT is an active metabolite of the hormone or testosterone hormone that is formed in the adrenal gland, hair follicles, prostate testes and glands. Androgens is the Class of Compound, where DHT belongs to. Androgens is commonly known as the testoids or androgenic hormone.
The formation of the male characteristic where the males produce the DHT in utero:
- development of the facial hair
- development of the body hair
- thickness of the voice and etc.
The DHT Blockers is a way to prevent the effects of this hormone after the puberty phase is completed, and abundance of this compound of is no longer needed. Researchers established the DHT is 30 times more potent as comparing to the testosterone hormone. Due to the fact that it has an increasing of affinity for the androgen receptor.
Some of the DHT Inhibitors:
- Inhairit
- Finasteride (Propecia)
- Revivogen
- Ketoconazole
- Procerin
- Provillus
Saw Palmetto is also the most potent herbal or natural DHT blockers, it proves to be far cheaper than most of the other contemporary DHT inhibitors in the market. DHT Blocker is effective in slowing the effects of hormone on the follicle, at the same time slowing hair loss. Some hair loss shampoo using Saw Palmetto as a topical inhibitor for DHT in their ingredients list.
The researchers said that the overproduction of DHT leaves the subjects exposed to the risks of prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia BHP. It is strongly believed that DHT also in the development of acne and male pattern baldness. Women suffering from the high level of dihydrotestosterone or DHT mostly develop some androgynous male secondary sex properties such as hair growth just above their upper lips, developed muscles and thick voice.
