Do your Root Activator products block DHT?Updated 5 months ago

Yes, your Root Activator products contain ingredients that have anti-DHT properties. DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is an androgen hormone that is linked to hair loss. Blocking or reducing DHT can help prevent hair follicles from shrinking, which in turn may prevent or reduce hair loss. 

Here are the ingredients from our shampoo that have been associated with anti-DHT properties: 

 1. Licorice Root Extract: It contains compounds that help prevent the conversion of testosterone to DHT, helping to reduce hair loss. 

2. Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract: A plant that contains resveratrol, which has been researched for its anti-DHT effects. 

3. Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract: This extract has been traditionally used in Chinese medicine for a variety of purposes, including hair growth promotion. It contains baicalin, a compound that has been researched for its DHT-blocking properties. 

4. Ginger Root Oil & Ginger Root Powder: Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties, and while it isn't specifically a DHT blocker, reducing scalp inflammation promote a healthier environment for hair growth. 

5. Polygonum Multiflorum Extract: A herb with a long history in traditional Chinese medicine for its rejuvenating properties. While the direct link to DHT is not firmly established, it's often used in hair growth formulations.
