this is all I have found for this particular item. further research needed.

as I am sure most have noticed by now, I am on a quest to find as many different DHT inhibitors/blockers as possible. Most of us already know of the most known estrogenic herbs/ glandulars and such. I am trying to compile a "one stop shop" of dht blockers. (amongst other research stuff). so please, bear with me if it seems mundane or repetitive .. we now return you to your regularly scheduled threads....

yes me too . it is an effort to provide a variation of options for people who may be allergic to one or another type of AA.

though some may be incomplete or lack sufficient evidence, I still put them up for "possible" future reference or further study.

emu oil

DHT blocker?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_oil


"Emu Oil DHT Blocker
Research has shown that emu oil contains a high level of linolenic acid which further research has shown to be an efficient antiandrogen. Linolenic acid is a potent 5 alpha reductase inhibitor and may be usefull in the treatment of disorders related to the hormone Dihydrotestosterone. Linolenic Acid has been suggested to be of use in the disorders such as benign prostratic hyperplasma, acne androgenetic alopecia and hirsuitism.

So in summary, it is now believed that emu oil may not only halt hairloss by blocking dht, but it may actually promote regrowth. The oil is non-greasy at it can be applied directly to the scalp at night. "-http://add-hair.com/dht-blockers.htm
