Too much DHT bad, Not enough DHT bad??

[HANSEL]

I am understanding the too much DHT is bad, it is what causes hair loss and prostate problems etc.

I also have read that not enough can also cause problems, like hypothyroid?

Can anyone elaborate on this? It would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
HANSEL

Buy azelaic acid topical cream. Schering makes a 20% cream called Skinoren. If you go to minoxidil.com you can read more about azelaic acid. They do not sell Skinoren. But they have a 5% azelaic acid/minoxidil combination. PM me if you want an online pharmacy for Skinoren.

dht contains A LOT of anabolic effects. probably one of the most anabolic hormones in the human body. try to get away with as much as possible before having the sides from it.

DHT is more anabolic than test, but mostly, before coupling to the androgen receptor, DHT is converted to its diol by enzymes when it is still floating free. The latter is a very weak anabolic. The same goes for proviron, also in theory a very strong anabolic, but in reality very weak. However, DHT is responsible for libido, maintenance of secundary sex characteristics, CNS stimulation. CNS stimulation results in more strength without adding muscle.

Cool.
Thanks Guys, extremely helpful! Im gonna stop taking all the saw palmetto I was taking to try to black DHT. I was convinced DHT was what made my nips puffy? I dont have Gyno, just some meaty nips.

Oh, and i did finally get a diagnosis on my thinning hair, it was from Seborrhea!? Got some Nizoral, should cure it.

Karma for you guys

Sig beat me to the good answer.

Yeah, DHT is one of those necessary evils. For too long everyone thought it was the BAD testosterone and tried to block it. BAD idea.

You can try applying topical DHT to the scalp. That may help. But if you're under 30 and your hair has noticably thinned, chances are you'll be bald -- maybe not "skin head" bald, but forget about a full head of hair. Everyone's hair thins to some degree. It's just that some people start out with so much it isn't as noticable as they age.

And BTW: DHT doesn't cause gyno. It prevents it.

Are you sure those products are legit? The website looks kind of cheesy.

I think you mean applying spiro/finasteride instead of DHT?

With all due respect, all those statements are just BULLSHIT.
DHT binds to the AR 3-4 times stronger than test, does that translate into a bigger anabolic effect? NO, to begin with DHT is NOT anabolic WHATSOEVER.
Reasons:
1) There's almost none 5-alpha-reductase enzyme in muscle tissue, so there's no conversion from test to DHT there
2) Even if there arrived some DHT it would be de-activated by another enzyme at the skeletal muscle.

Exactly. If DHT could reach and bind to the AR receptors in muscle, it is speculated that it would be very anabolic. But because the lack or 5AR reducatase and de-activation in the muscle, it is not present.

DHT does produce an increase in CNS stimulation and therefore may allow you to lift more and work out harder which may indirectly cause anabolic growth.
