In our previous post, we indicated that DHT is the primary culprit in general hair loss. This statement\u00a0begs the question:<\/p>\n
There are a few DHT-blocking options available, although most are not without their drawbacks. Here\u00a0we explore the pros and cons of DHT blockers.<\/p>\n
Propecia is a prescription medication which contains the active ingredient finestride, and is marketed\u00a0to help men who are experiencing hair loss. The company who created Propecia did so as a result of a\u00a0positive side effect that was being reported in patients who used another of their medications, Proscar,\u00a0to treat prostate conditions.<\/p>\n
Proscar users reported an improvement in their hair loss. It was then discovered that finestride, the\u00a0active ingredient in Proscar was effective in blocking DHT and thus reducing or eliminating hair loss.\u00a0Essentially, Propecia and Proscar are the same medications, but Propecia is packaged in a smaller\u00a0dosage and marketed to combat hair loss.<\/p>\n
Propecia is not suitable for women and has been reported to lower libido in men.<\/strong><\/p>\n Avodart contains the active ingredient dutasteride and is a slightly more effective DHT blocker than\u00a0Propecia. Like Propecia, it also carries a risk of side effects and is not suitable for female use.<\/strong><\/p>\n Activ8 is a line of products containing all-natural ingredients<\/strong>, which is formulated for optimal hair and\u00a0scalp health. Intensify is the DHT blocker in the Activ8 line, also containing all-natural ingredients. It is\u00a0not a pharmaceutical product. There are no known side effects associated with Activ8 Intensify and it is\u00a0suitable for use in both men and women.<\/strong><\/p>\n It is important to note that DHT blockers will slow down or stop hair loss, but they will not cause\u00a0regrowth. Hair that has been lost cannot be regrown. For best results, DHT blockers should be used in\u00a0conjunction with other specially-formulated hair maintenance products, such as those in the Activ8 line.<\/p>\n In our previous post, we indicated that DHT is the primary culprit in general hair loss.
