What is DHT (Dihydrotestosterone)? How Does It Cause Hair Loss?
Question: What is DHT?
Answer: DHT is the conversion of the male hormone Testosterone into DHT or Dihydrotestosterone in the skin tissue of the body. The enzyme 5 alpha reductase converts testosterone into its more potent form DHT. DHT is responsible for causing hair loss known as Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia) and for stimulating the growth of body hair in general. Genetic hair loss can be treated successfully by the us of treatments like Propecia (which has side effects) or Biostim (which does not have any side effects).
