How to Shop for Best Products to Treat Male Hair Loss




male hair loss

Men suffer from hair loss more often than women. Male-pattern baldness is caused by hormonal changes in the man’s body. The overproduction of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the main reason for receding hairlines and thinning locks in grown-up men. DHT is secreted by the body from testosterone - the hormone shaping most of male sexual characteristics. Unfortunately, a testosterone overload in men is often balanced by an enzyme that transforms testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, thus causing massive and irreversible hair loss. The enzyme responsible for this transformation is called 5 alpha-reductase, and the most effective medications to treat male hair loss are designed to block the production of DHT from testosterone.

Certain drugs, especially when combined with beneficial vitamins, minerals, oils, and herbs, can effectively neutralize 5 alpha-reductase and reduce the amount of DHT, which results in halting male hair loss and even restoring some of the damaged hair follicles. Good hair medications and supplements therefore can assist in regrowing hair in men aged 30 and older, when the production of DHT from testosterone is on its peak.

Unfortunately, most hair growth products on today’s market lack the correct ingredients to hamper hormonal hair loss in men. Others use harsh chemicals and may have a long list of side effects. The most effective pharmaceuticals to treat male-pattern baldness usually require a doctor’s prescription.

If you are a man aged “30 plus” and you experience steady hair loss, there is a big chance that your hair problems are caused by the overproduction of DHT. While shopping for a product to treat your hair loss, look for hair medications formulated exclusively for men and designed to block the secretion of 5 alpha-reductase. The following are the most popular and effective hair products that have been specially formulated to treat hormonal balding in men: Provillus, Propecia, Revivogen, Procerin, HairGenesis, Crinagen, and Advecia.
