Hormonal hair loss affects both men and women. While 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). When in excess, it causes the progressive miniaturization of hair follicles.
So, how can we effectively act against DHT? The answer is in two words: DHT Blocker.
DHT, the key hormone in androgenic alopecia
DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a natural hormone produced by the conversion of testosterone via an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase.
In genetically sensitive individuals, this hormone binds to hair follicle receptors and causes:
-
a follicle shrinkage,
-
thinner and shorter hair growth,
-
and then a progressive inactivity of the hair bulb.
This phenomenon, called follicular miniaturization, is responsible for baldness in men and androgenic alopecia in women.
The role of DHT Blockers: blocking the responsible enzyme
DHT Blockers work by inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT.
By blocking this mechanism, they help to:
-
Reduce DHT levels around the hair follicle,
-
Preserve the size and vitality of the bulbs,
-
Slow down, or even stop hormonal hair loss,
-
And promote hair growth regrowth.
Unlike medicinal treatments such as finasteride, certain 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 powerful anti-5-alpha-reductase properties:
- 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 – Slow down the conversion of testosterone to DHT.
- Specific probiotics – Improve nutrient assimilation and reduce scalp inflammation.
These ingredients are often combined in "DHT Blocker" food supplements to maximize their effectiveness on hormonal hair loss.
