MEN SHOULD THINK TWICE BEFORE TAKING PROPECIA

Propecia is probably one of the most popular hair loss treatment in the market today. In the past, this drug was used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) under the brand name Proscar. Both Propecia and Proscar share a common generic name Finasteride. Patients who’d been using Proscar to treat BPH noticed an increase in hair growth. This may be an irritating side effect for patients, but for the drug company, they’ve just found a pot of gold.

Propecia is specially made to treat hair loss; it has a different dosage from Proscar but of course has the same effect – stimulate hair growth. Propecia stops hair loss by systemically inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme is responsible for the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a bald man’s nightmare. It is the sole reason for “male pattern baldness” or “female pattern baldness”. So if you stop the formation of DHT, then you stop hair loss.

This is the point where everything gets tricky. DHT is an important hormone especially for men. In the womb, DHT is responsible for the development of baby boys. This hormone initiates the secondary sex traits for males – from boys to men so to speak. You may say: “Hey, I’m 40 and I’m a man. Stopping DHT won’t affect me at my age.” Yes that’s true, you are a fully developed male but systemically inhibiting DHT can cause decreased libido. In fact, the side effects of Propecia are decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and decreased volume of ejaculate. So guys, would you like lose your manliness for your hair?

If not, there are always better alternatives like Nisim Biofactors. Nisim Biofactors is also an inhibitor of DHT but the big difference is that it stops DHT LOCALY on your scalp. Nisim Biofactors is applied topically on the scalp and not taken internally like Propecia, so it is safe to use and won’t affect your manliness.
