DHT is an abbreviation for Dihydrotestosterone, which is a byproduct of Testosterone. DHT prevents hair growth, leading to male hair loss.

A human’s scalp produces an enzyme known as 5 alpha reductase. When the enzyme 5 alpha reductase interacts with testosterone in the body, it produces Dihydrotestosterone or DHT, causing significant amounts of hair loss.
Since our bodies need Testosterone in order to remain healthy and fit, one way to combat hair loss is to stop the creation enzyme that creates DHT. This why men everywhere have begun using DHT blockers to help fight male hair loss.

DHT is not well received by the hair follicles in the front and crown of the male scalp. Although most women don't have as high a level of testosterone to potentially change the 5 alpha reductase enzyme into DHT, men’s testosterone levels put them at risk for DHT and, eventually, significant hair loss. But DHT serves no specific health benefits, so men could do without DHT anywhere in the body.

While men are the primary victims of baldness brought on by DHT, in some instances women can develop secondary male characteristics such as the deepening of the voice, increased muscular growth, and fertility issues from the effects of DHT. All of these are symptoms of too much DHT activity in the body. That is why more and more people are turning to DHT blockers to help inhibit DHT production.

There are many all natural DHT blockers available, most of them without a prescription. DHT blockers are safer alternatives to prescription medications that can interfere with testosterone itself.
