    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.
