I was researching a topical product... a shampoo/lotion treatment for the hair to help stop the shedding and possibly promote new regrowth. I then noticed that they had an anti-androgenic hair regrowth complex and in the description it was talking about DHT. I am going to be started on insulite... I've seen a few ladies mention it in their posts.... so I thought I would give it a try. But I know that with some people using insulite, their hair stops falling out and they see a reduced amount of unwated hair growth on their body. Is this because of the hormones being balanced out?
I spoke with a "live" person about the anti-androgenic complex and she was telling me that it only helps with regrowing hair on the head and has nothing to do with the exess hair on the body.
So even if this question might seem silly, what really is the exact definition of anti-androgenic and what in the world is DHT?
I was thinking of ordering the androgenic product along with the topical shampoo and lotion on top of the insulite.... but im thinking the androgenic product might be too much and i should just stick with the other two?
Im afraid that the androgenic pills might have some type of weird effect with the insulite even though they both are natural and might increase body hair growth??
In the end, I decided to just go ahead with the insulite and use the topical shampoo and lotion which has thymus??? another word to define... along with the insulite.

An antiandrogen, or androgen antagonist, is any of a group of hormone receptor antagonist compounds that are capable of preventing or inhibiting the biologic effects of androgens, male sex hormones, on normally responsive tissues in the body (see androgen insensitivity syndrome). Antiandrogens usually work by blocking the appropriate receptors, competing for binding sites on the cell's surface, obstructing the androgens' pathway.
Testosterone can be converted into a more powerful androgen, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), in areas that affect the skin and hair.
Topical treatments don't address the cause, just the symptom.
I feel that the best to approach it is from the inside, so I asked for anti-androgens. I was taking 100 mg spironolactone daily to decrease my levels of testosterone and then switched to Flutamide. Currently I'm taking 250 daily.
I have noticed that the hair loss has decreased greatly. I typically have to clean out the drain every day or every other day. Today I realized I hadn't done it in a couple of weeks. The drain was still sudsy so I couldn't see if there was hair or not, but I reached down to pick it out and there wasn't any.
Best results on flutamide or normally seen by the end of eight months and I've only been on it for three weeks. I'm hoping to see even better improvement soon.
DHT and hair growth/loss?
