Dihydrotestosterone Balance

Meaning

Dihydrotestosterone Balance refers to the precise maintenance of optimal levels of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent androgen derived from testosterone, relative to other circulating sex hormones and their metabolites. DHT is essential for male development and plays a significant role in vitality, mood, and libido in both sexes, but excessive levels can contribute to androgenic alopecia and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Achieving balance involves judiciously managing the enzymatic conversion of testosterone by 5-alpha reductase and ensuring appropriate receptor sensitivity. Clinical focus is placed on leveraging its potent anabolic and psychological benefits while strategically mitigating its potential adverse effects on hair follicles and prostate tissue.
