As many may know, aside from the vaso-dilatory problem, the real cause is DHT. 
The male hormone testosterone is converted to a stronger hormone called Dihyd- rotestosterone (DHT). This hormone has been implicated in male hair loss and prostate problems. 

In 1975 a group of men were first studied because they had ambiguous genitalia when they were first born. They did not have what could be described as either a penis or vagina but something that resembled both. It was discovered that they did not have an enzyme called 5 Alpha Reductase or simply just 5AR that enab- les them to make DHT from testosterone. (An enzyme creates a chemical reac- tion without undergoing a change itself). 

When these men reached puberty and their testosterone levels increased, a fully functioning penis developed. They continued to have small prostates (which is a benefit), sparse body hair and beard growth and they did not develop the tradi- tional male pattern of receding temples. The significance of these studies is that they demonstrated that males from puberty onwards remain fully masculine in the absence of any DHT. 

The conclusion drawn is that no DHT equals no hair loss and no prostate prob- lems. Therefore a safe and effective avenue to treating hair loss was opened up from studying this group of men and the market moved to developing 5AR inhi- bitors'. 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 only DHT inhibiting drugs with side effects have co- me onto the market and have shown good results in inhibiting hair loss but now, at last, a natural product is paving the natural way with great success.
