DHT Blocker

Male pattern baldness is caused by a male hormone called Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) being overproduced in the body. The only way to end the hair loss in male pattern baldness is to block the DHT from being produced in such a great quantity. There are medications, supplements, and natural means you can use as a DHT blocker.

• Finasteride, sold as Procpecia, is a medication that blocks DHT. It also has many possible side effects, some of them sexual. Propecia is a prescription medication, so a doctor would have to be consulted before using it.
• Minoxidil, sold as Rogaine, is an over the counter DHT blocker. It works as a topical ointment, applied directly to the scalp, blocking DHT from the scalp. The only side effect reported with using Rogaine is scalp irritation, which may be stopped by using a dandruff shampoo.
• Supplements for hair loss: There are natural supplements for hair loss that contain ingredients that work together to combat hair loss. The main ingredient in most natural supplements for hair loss is Saw Palmetto, an extract from a fruit called Sernoa repens. Saw Palmetto is a natural DHT blocker. The other ingredient in most natural supplements include vitamins, minerals, herbs, oils and extracts that work together to promote new hair growth, as well as end hair loss. Natural Supplements for hair loss have no known side effects, and can be bought over the counter.
• Hair loss shampoo: Hair loss shampoo contains a DHT blocker that will block DHT from the scalp. It will also cleanse away dead hair follicles, important for new growth to occur.
• Natural herbs, oils, vitamins, and extracts have been used to block DHT for years. Saw Palmetto, Nettle root, Gotu Kola, Emu Oil, pumpkin seed oil, Pygeum, Green tea, and L-Lysine, are all natural DHT blockers. Natural DHT blockers have no known side effects, and can be bought over the counter.

Using a DHT blocker is one step that will help end the hair loss associated with male pattern baldness. Finding the product you want to use to help not only block DHT, but also promote hair growth is what will increase your hair health, and growth.

DHT blockers can only stop the hair from falling out, but they need other ingredients to work with them to cleanse the hair follicles, increase blood flow to the scalp, and promote new hair growth.
