Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is made from testosterone by an enzyme called 5 alpha reducates. DHT is a by-product of testosterone. Testosterone is responsible for the formation of primary sex characteristics of the male during embryonic life and secondary sex characteristics at puberty. Increased production of DHT in adult males is thought to result in male pattern baldness. In males, progesterone acts to limit the production of DHT by testosterone.

Significantly, if you can block this over production of DHT then your hair loss can be stopped and even reversed. Therefore a safe and effective avenue to treating hair loss has been the development of '5AR inhibitors'. These are a group of substances that stop the action of the 5AR enzyme and hence lower DHT levels, without effecting testosterone levels and sexual performance.

Over the last couple of years DHT inhibiting drugs have come onto the market and have shown good results in inhibiting hair loss and in many instances reversing it. Thymuskin is one such drug. Its range has clinical data backing it, it is more effective than any of the other products, but it is a tad more expensive than some. With a success rate of 67% in men and 97% in women, Thymuskin is an excellent DHT inhibitor and growth stimulator.

Another good DHT inhibitor is Revivogen. It also contains growth stimulators. Excellent results in men, with 77% reporting positive results including decreased hair loss and increased thickness of the hair. Tricomin on the other hand makes use of copper peptides to shorten the resting phase of the hair resulting in a greater number of hairs in the growth phase at any given time. This results in thicker hair and it is classed as a type of growth stimulator.

Procerin attacks hair loss with DHT inhibiting capsules and a topical serum applied to the scalp. The serum contains a fantastic set of growth stimulators and growth inhibitors. A recent addition to the stable is Nanogen Hair Loss Products. The Nanofibres hair concealer covers up thinning hair. Then there are the Nanoguard, Nanothik and Nanogaine products. The Nanoguard is a DHT inhibitor shampoo and the Nanogaine is an SOD. All are excellent products supplied by www.combat-hair-loss.co.uk.
