It is my understanding that DHT is produced as a result of testertone production. It is also my understanding that because of the build up of DHT around the root of the hair follicles on the head, it acts to block the vital nutrients and blood flow to the hair follicle, eventually causing the person to become bald? Correct me if I'm wrong here.
I'm also assuming that the more testertone you produce the more by product of DHT you also produce. It would then follow that males between the ages of say 13 and 30 years old would produce the highest amounts of DHT.
I have a 3 part question:
1.) If DHT is produced in such high quantities when males are younger then why do some males (like myself) not really lose their hair significantly until they are in their late 40's? Am I being effected by something that happend 30 years ago, now?
2.) If 13 year old teens that had the baldness gene were to take a DHT blocker on a regular basis as a teen, would they be able to prevent their baldness and not have to use other treatments later in life?
3.) What is the purpose of the body giving off DHT and does blocking it have any harmful health effects or sexual side effects? Please elaborate on whether some DHT products have side effects and whether others don't?
