    GlossaryDHT blocker

    inhibits hormone causing hair follicle shrinkage and hair loss

    A DHT blocker, also known as a Dihydrotestosterone blocker, is a substance that inhibits the production or activity of DHT, a hormone derived from testosterone. DHT is known to contribute to hair loss by shrinking hair follicles, so blocking its effects can help prevent or slow down hair thinning and baldness, particularly in conditions like androgenetic alopecia.

      community DHT blockers for women, and your experiences with them?

      in Female  7 upvotes   4 years ago
      A user shared their experience with Spironolactone for hair loss, noting it stopped hair loss and cleared acne but had side effects like frequent urination and potential kidney damage. They also mentioned Bicalutamide as a potentially more potent DHT blocker with fewer side effects and asked for others' experiences with DHT blockers for women.

      community Any experience on Natural DHT blocker?

      The conversation is about using natural DHT blockers like saw palmetto, pumpkin seed oil, and stinging nettle extract for hair loss. Saw palmetto is noted to potentially halt mild hair loss.
