DHT: Explanation & SolutionDHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is recognized as a main culprit in hair loss. Dihydrotestosterone is a combination of testosterone and androgen receptors mixed with sebum and dirt particles. Some hair follicles are particularly sensitive to DHT and tend to shrink when exposed to it. Finally the hair follicle may shut down altogether and the hair falls out. Dihydrotestosterone is the resulting product of direct contact between the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, found in the skin and the scalp, with the hormone testosterone. Dihydrotestosterone is caused by the DHT binding to receptor sites on the scalp and hair follicles.This interrupts and interacts with the normal chain of events involved in continual healthy hair growth. To put it another way, when DHT takes over the receptor cell (the cells on the hair follicle that bind to DHT) and sends false signals to the functioning cells responsible for proper hair growth. Men usually lose hair first in the temporal area, second in the crown, and third, in the vertex or top of the scalp. This is due to the concentration of sweat glands that carry Dihydrotestosterone in these areas. Women on the other hand generally thin in a diffuse manner. Natural Organic Extracts Combat DHT A clinical study on a natural organic extract solution published in the Medical Post Vol. 29 pp61. August 24, 1993 reported remarkable results. A range of products is available which can control DHT and excessive hair loss within one week and also promote new growth. |
