If you are looking for the cause of your hair loss problems than the answer to your questions must include the hormone Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It is well known that DHT is the main cause of losing hair and because medicine producers know this, pharmaceuticals, like let’s take for example Propecia generic name Finasteride, have tried to stop this hormone from acting, but this came with some side effects. Now some drugs claim that they don’t cause side effects, but if they all do the same thing, is it possible that some have side effects and others don’t?
Thirty to forty percent of adult males will suffer from androgenic alopecia also known as male pattern baldness. Women in the other hand, are protected by their hormones before menopause, but after menopause the figure is the same.
DHT is the most active form of testosterone, also called male hormone. Actually testosterone is found in both genders but men have a lot more. This hormone gives men their distinctive features (such as hair distribution, voice, and, some people believe, even behavior) by binding to receptors found on cells’ nuclei and causing some genes to express themselves while putting others to rest.
Some people have inherited genes that cause hair to grow thinner and smaller. These genes are naturally asleep, but DHT activates them. This is perfectly natural, but when DHT is too much or when the genes are especially powerful, it will triger alopecia (hair loss - baldness).
Because we can’t change our genes, medicine tries to reduce the activity of the DHT hormone. What hair loss treatment drugs do, in our example Propecia, is either stop DHT from binding to cells (thus keeping hair loss genes dormant) or stop DHT production completely.
However, stopping DHT will also stop its other actions, causing impotence, gynecomastia (male boobs) and possible loss of body hair. If it is the male hormone, for men, reducing DHT means reducing male characteristics.
But not all supplements cause this. Propecia is one of these supplements. Why? Because Propecia will stop DHT from binding to certain types of cells but allow it to bind to others. It happens because the access to those cells is different or because the receptor itself is different, but that doesn’t matter - what matters is that we can stop DHT from binding to hair (reversing baldness) while allowing it to bind to other cells (reducing side effects). There will always be residual side effects, but to more than 99% people there will be none.
So now you know that it is possible for some supplements, and a good example is Propecia, not to cause side-effects as much as others - no, it is not all marketing. When shopping for other hair loss treatment, besides Propecia, always look for the ones that boldly state that they cause no side effects - if they say that, it is true, because FDA won’t allow the ones that do cause loads of side effects to lie.
