INSIGHT

  • DHT has been unfairly demonized for its perceived negative effects on prostate health and hair loss.
  • Current research suggests that DHT's role in these issues is not as straightforward as previously thought.
INSIGHT

Androgens and Hair Loss: A Complex Relationship

  • Androgens, including DHT, can promote or accelerate hair loss depending on pre-existing conditions of the hair follicle.
  • Elevated androgens don't directly cause hair loss, but they can exacerbate it if the conditions are right.
ADVICE
