Hormonal hair loss, also known as androgenic alopecia, affects millions of women and men. One of the most studied ways to slow its progression is with a DHT blocker, a supplement that targets the hormonal cause of the problem rather than its visible effects. Here's how it works, who it's for, and what results to expect.

What causes hormonal hair loss?
Hormonal hair loss is caused by DHT, a hormone produced from testosterone by the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. In excess, it binds to receptors in the hair follicle and gradually miniaturizes it: the growth phase shortens, the resting phase lengthens, and the hair ends up falling out faster than it grows back.
- It affects men in the form of baldness, with a receding hairline at the temples and vertex.
- It affects women by widening the central parting, often around the time of menopause or in cases of PCOS
- Its progression is slow, chronic, and does not correct itself.
The hormonal drop is the only one that never stops on its own. This is what distinguishes it from all the others, and it is also why acting early makes all the difference: it is much easier to protect a miniaturized follicle than to revive a dormant one.
How does a DHT blocker work?
A DHT blocker acts upstream, on the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme itself. By partially inhibiting this enzyme, it reduces the amount of DHT available around the follicle, thus limiting miniaturization and allowing the hair time to complete a full cycle. It does not stimulate growth; it removes the obstacle that prevents it.
Hormonal drop or reactive drop: how to recognize yours?
It's probably a hormonal drop if you recognize yourself in several of these signs:
- A decline that had been developing for months, without any identifiable trigger.
- Hair that gradually thins rather than falling out in clumps
- A widening central ridge or receding gulfs
- A specific area that is thinning, and not the entire scalp
- A family history of the same type

"I had been using minoxidil for years but with many side effects. I tried this
I tried the serum, thinking it wouldn't work... and yet! The bald spot on the back of my head has clearly filled in. Amazing!

Discover the solutionHow long does it take to see the effects?
The first signs generally appear between forty-five and ninety days: hair loss slows down, then density improves. This timeframe corresponds to the hair growth cycle, not to the product's effectiveness. A DHT blocker works as long as it is taken and delivers its full potential when used as part of a comprehensive protocol that also addresses scalp microcirculation.
Hormonal Anti-Hair Loss Protocol
Specifically acts on hormonal hair loss
To remember
- The hormonal drop stems from an excess of DHT, produced by 5-alpha-reductase.
- It is chronic and localized, unlike reactive hair loss.
- A DHT blocker inhibits the upstream enzyme
- The first effects appear between 45 and 90 days, and consistency is key.
