The other alternative, which is commonly used prescription drugs. This has left its drawbacks, as it is intended to reduce testosterone production, and for this reason, it has a potential side effect of a man impotent. Fortunately, research has found that there is another way of preventing hair loss, but to cover before we can have a look at how hair loss is actually happening, so we understand why does this new treatment.
The body produces a hormone called testosterone and some of it is in your blood, your body also produces and enzyme 5-alpha reductase, and if these two combine to create a new chemical known as DHT. Now everyone has DHT in them, but some people are genetically susceptible to this chemical in their scalp, and if this is the case, the DHT to attach to the hair follicles and thin it out, and it will not produce more hair.
What has been found that by applying a really FDA approved product called minoxidil to the scalp to reach the follicle can stop DHT. Now if this was not good news at their own was also found that by a mixture of minerals and herbs along with it, the treatment can be even stronger. The reason is because this mixture can actually prevent, as much DHT produced in the first place which of course means less of it to catch the minoxidil.
The minerals and herbs that are for prevention of hair loss, as follows: -
- Saw Palmetto - known for its properties for maintaining a healthy prostate, it now has to reduce the production of 5-alpha reductase meaning fewer prostate DHT.
- Nettle root - prevents this herb is too much testosterone in the blood, but not this is done by reducing the production, so no side effects
- Zinc - as well as an essential mineral for growth of healthy hair zinc also inhibits the production of 5-alpha-reductase.
