Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) Inhibitors


Click here to go to the contents page of this section or here to return to the main articles index


If you're serious about preventing hair loss and encouraging new growth, you need to take action to prevent the damaging effect that the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) has on the follicles of your scalp. There are several main ways to go about this.

Depending on your gender, stage of hair loss and other factors, your available options may include taking a daily Finasteride or Dutasteride tablet or capsule to reduce the levels of DHT circulating throughout your entire body. Or, if you don't like the idea of such "system wide" approaches, or cannot use them for other reasons, you might benefit from natural and topical solutions, lotions and creams applied directly to the scalp to combat various phases of the production of DHT and its attempts to combine with your follicles' androgen receptors.

In addition, some of these products are frequently used in combination with each other. Below we'll take a look at some of the market leading and most popular DHT inhibitors.


Finasteride (Propecia)

Dutasteride (Avodart)

Revivogen

Crinagen

Xandrox

Progesterone
