Science lesson!
DHT is formed by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. For this explanation, lets call it george.
So george is in your prostate making testosterone into DHT all your life. Its not really a problem, but then you get old. Your prostate grows (as happens to most men as they age) and as your prostate, george gets extra ambitious, and makes more DHT.
As your prostate grows, DHT levels will go up. There are drugs to shrink your prostate though! So talk to your doctor!

How do you decrease the DHT-dihydrotestosterone from the body?
To lower DHT levels in the body, you can consider taking supplements like saw palmetto or stinging nettle root, incorporating foods rich in antioxidants and zinc into your diet, reducing stress levels, and avoiding products or behaviors that can increase DHT production, such as anabolic steroids or excessive alcohol consumption. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before making any significant changes to your DHT levels.
How do you reduce DHT levels?
You do not want to reduce DHT levels or modify your blood hormone levels. Balance is absolutely necessary for the body to operate properly. Modifying your DHT levels can cause many side effects depending on your age, gender and genetics, for example, gynoclymastia (breast development in males) can result from drastically reduced DHT levels. If you are interesting in modifying DHT levels for the purposes of hair loss prevention/regrowth I highly suggest going to the NIOXIN website and reading their FAQ and the information available on their website. NIOXIN is by far the best product on the market, simple and highly effective. Their website offers highly reputable and accurate information regarding hair, hair loss and DHT in regards to the scalp. NIOXIN and realted hair products DO NOT modify the level of DHT in your blood stream, but removes it from your scalp to prevent hair loss and increase denisty and thickness. Oral medications such as Propecia, however, do modify DHT levels in the blood stream, which may result in side effects such as gynoclymastia, as mentioned above, that should be considered before adopting such a treatment. Consulting a doctor, head stylist of a quality salon or beautician is highly recommended before adopting any treatment regimne.
Are protein supplements linked to hair loss?
Doubtful. Hair is made of protein. Hair loss is passed on genetically and is related to an overabundance of a certain hormone. Well...there is a connection... taking protein supplements to put on muscle , increases the testosterone in your body... and testosterone is directly linked to the amount of DHT in your system , that binds with your hair follicle and causes it to miniaturize.. so Supplements and working out increase DHT. Increased DHT means an increase in hair loss if you are already genetically predisposed to Male Pattern Baldness.
