CONTROL THE HARMFUL EFFECTS DHT ON YOUR SCALP

Posted by Manny Y on 6th Apr 2015

Is your hair starting to thin out? Do your family suffer from hair thinning? Are you about 25 years old or older?

If your answers are yes, then you’re suffering from male pattern baldness (MPB). Women also are affected by MPB but of course MPB is a term only used for males. So generally, when both men and women are affected by thinning hair or baldness the correct term would be androgenic alopecia.

In males, androgenic alopecia shows a well-defined pattern. Hair thinning starts above the sides of the temple, slowly progressing upwards most often leaving a rim of hair along the sides and back. In some unfortunate individuals the progression of hair loss can lead to total baldness.

Androgenetic alopecia rarely causes total baldness in women. There are no receding hairlines and only generalized hair thinning occurs.

What is the cause of androgenic alopecia?

Androgenic alopecia is caused by a genetic sensitivity to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Dihydrotestosterone is an active metabolite of testosterone. Testosterone is converted to DHT by the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. Testosterone is a male hormone so it’s not surprising that men get affected by DHT, but women also have small amounts of testosterone , that’s why women are affected by DHT as well.

How do we put a stop to DHT?

Keep in mind that DHT is a hormone. Hormones are secreted in our body and provide an important role to a multitude of bodily systems. It just so happens that some of us are sensitive to DHT. We cannot all in all stop DHT just to prevent baldness, as DHT also provides an important function.

The most effective way to stop DHT is to prevent it from forming on the scalp with Nisim Biofactors. Nisim Biofactors is a special hair regrowth system consisting of a shampoo, conditioner and extract, all are made from a proprietary blend of natural herbs. This makes Nisim safe to use everyday. Not only that, all are packed with amino acids and b-complex vitamins which are vital for natural healthy hair regrowth.
