What is a DHT blocker and how does it work on hair loss?
La hormonal hair loss affects both men and women. While it is often associated with male pattern baldness, it can also affect women with androgenic alopecia.
At the root of the problem: a testosterone-derived hormone called DHT (dihydrotestosterone)It is this which, in excess, causes the progressive miniaturization of hair follicles.
But then, how can we effectively combat DHT? The answer is two words: DHT Blocker.
DHT, the key hormone in androgenic alopecia
La DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a natural hormone produced by the conversion of testosterone via an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase.
In genetically sensitive people, this hormone binds to receptors in the hair follicle and causes:
-
un follicle shrinkage,
-
a thinner and shorter growth,
-
then one progressive inactivity of the hair bulb.
This phenomenon, called follicular miniaturization, is responsible for the baldness in humans andandrogenic alopecia in women.
The role of DHT Blockers: blocking the responsible enzyme
On DHT Blockers act in inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT.
By blocking this mechanism, they allow:
-
Reduce DHT levels around the hair follicle,
-
Preserve size and vitality bulbs,
-
Slow down or even stop the hormonal drop,
-
And promote the resumption of hair growth.
Unlike drug treatments like finasteride, some Natural DHT Blockers offer an alternative without side effects, thanks to specific plant extracts.
The best natural active ingredients to block DHT
Research has identified several natural ingredients with properties anti-5-alpha-reductase powerful:
- Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) – The most recognized active ingredient, comparable in some studies to finasteride, without the hormonal side effects.
- Zinc and vitamin B6 – Regulate sebum production and hormonal metabolism.
- Pumpkin seeds – Slows down the conversion of testosterone into DHT.
- Specific probiotics – Improve nutrient absorption and reduce scalp inflammation.
These ingredients are often combined in “DHT Blocker” food supplements to maximize their effectiveness on the hormonal hair loss.
