Hair Growth DHT and Regrowth
DHT blockers:
Depending on your metabolism and blood type, one or more of the above may be best suited for you.
Androgens testosterone and DHT are major factors in scalp hair growth and male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). Testosterone is converted to DHT in the hair follicles and DHT is considered to be a major factor in male pattern baldness. Testosterone conversion is also implicated in prostate and other problems.
DHT may accumulate in the pores of the scalp to cause increased hair loss and male pattern baldness as well as increased body hair and other negative effects.
To reduce DHT, the phrases of importance are: DHT Blocker, Antiaromatase, and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. These substances appear to be beneficial because they all block the production of DHT.
DHT can cause problems in folicles of men predisposed to hair loss, particularly in cases of male pattern baldness. This may be exacerbated by excess testosterone or parasites.
The following are generally in the group of Anti-aromatases and will inhibit production of DHT and estrogen, a really good idea for men particularly if using steroids.
Saw Palmetto is inexpensive and effective when taken twice daily. 320 mg Standardized Extract is suggested with breakfast and dinner.
Finasteride AKA Proscar or Propecia is a profitable industry approved synthetic DHT blocker. Known to cause birth defects so if there is any chance of pregnancy, this may be dangerous.
Saw Palmetto appears safe, is inexpensive and effective when taken twice daily. 320 mg Standardized Extract is suggested with breakfast and dinner.
Rivoflavin is inexpensive and effective when taken twice daily. 320 mg Standardized Extract is suggested with breakfast and dinner.
Procerin Fairly recently introduced DHT blocker.
Propecia DHT blocker, avoid near pregnant women.
Bayberry Extract Topical. estimate the effect of bayberry alone as 82% of these figures. Good for long time use of anti-androgen, bayberry has no systemic side effect, but will color the scalp and solutions with alcohol are best avoided.
Minoxidil Topical. AKA Rogaine. Effective while used to increase hair growth. When discontinued, hair goes away. Women who are breastfeeding should not use minoxidil.
Copper Peptides Control growth and communication between cells. These show very promising effects. Comfrey root is an excellent example showing the high level of healing and growth properties of the anti-inflammatory allantoin, a copper peptide. These are powerful and caution is advised for internal use because locations with non-differentiated cells such as the liver may experience undesired growth, and current regulations prohibit comfrey tea and capsules. Significant enlargement of the hair follicles has been observed by transdermal use of copper peptides, specifically glycyl-l-histidyl-l-lysine:copper (II) or GHK-Cu for short. See photos.
Crinagen is another topical DHT inhibiting product that can be used by both men or women experiencing Androgenetic Alopecia. This is a discount pack three month supply.
