DHT Blockers and Inhibitors
Many people are now aware that DHT is the leading cause of hair loss and is responsible for hair loss in 95% of the cases. Because of this information, more and more people are searching for DHT blockers that are non-systemic, and can block DHT at the scalp. There are different ways to block DHT, which we will discuss below.
DHT is short for dihydrotestosterone which is formed primarily in the prostate gland, testes, adrenal glands and hair follicles. DHT is formed mostly by the enzyme 5 a-reductase and is three times more potent than testosterone.
DHT is responsible for other characteristics often largely attributed to males like facial hair. The irony is that while DHT is putting hair on the face, it’s also taking hair off the scalp in many men, gradually thinning hair, and over time, leading to significant overall loss of hair. This has lead many men to take synthetic drugs in the form of DHT Blockers.
Finasteride is one of those drugs and has been marketed and sold as an actual DHT inhibitor. Approved initially to treat prostate enlargement, the drug was later approved for male pattern hair loss. Finasteride only works at inhibiting type II 5 a-reductase.
Dutasteride is another drug that has also been used to treat enlarged prostate glands. Dutasteride has also been found to be three times more potent than finasteride at inhibiting type I 5 a-reductase and 100 times more potent at treating type II 5 a-reductase. Dutasteride has not been approved by the FDA to fight male pattern hair loss.
Unlike synthetic drugs that block DHT throughout the entire body, there is another treatment that combats DHT naturally and on a more local level. Revivogen is a DHT blocker that was created by Dr. Alex Khadavi in the late 90’s. Revivogen lowers the level of DHT in the scalp by combining nature’s most powerful ingredients that have been proven to block the activity of 5 a-reductase. Revivogen works by inhibiting types I and types II 5 a-reductase. It also blocks the androgen receptors in which the DHT would normally use to attach itself to the hair follicle, which makes it very effective as a DHT blocker. Because Revivogen is an all natural and topical formula, there are no systematic side effects.
DHT continues to be produced in the body throughout a person’s life. If you using DHT blockers, you should know that you have to continue on that treatment program for as long as you want to treat your hair loss. Revivogen allows you to cut back to 4 days a week after you’ve started to see maximum benefits from using the treatment. This usually takes up to a little over a year to accomplish.
Good luck and remember that to become an expert in hair loss means becoming an expert on DHT treatment. Keep educating yourself and remember that knowledge is power.
