    GlossaryDihydrotestosterone Blockers (DHT Blockers)

    inhibit the hormone DHT to prevent hair loss

    Dihydrotestosterone Blockers, often referred to as DHT Blockers, are substances that inhibit the action or production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, these blockers can help prevent hair follicles from shrinking, thereby slowing or stopping hair loss and promoting hair regrowth.
