    Glossary Dihydrotestosterone 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.
