DHT is one hormone that your body doesn't need a lot of.
It serves some important functions though that many people never really think about.
For example if you're a man, you need a little DHT in the body for sex drive, to grow facial hair and various other things.
If you're a woman you need a little bit of it for the regulating of your cycles and other feminine areas.
So having a little DHT in the body is fine.
However it's when the body is packed full of extra DHT that problems begin to start.
Excess DHT always gets stored in the scalp.
It can also get stored in areas such as the prostate gland in men.
This can lead to severe prostate malfunctions and even cancer later on if left untreated.
Men and women need to be able to regulate hormones in their body in order to keep DHT at bay.
Simple cardio exercise works great in order to do this.
You may wonder how can exercise help your hair to grow? When you workout such as by means of running, walking, jogging or cycling, your body is not only releasing testosterone, but it is also releasing healthy enzymes that block and eradicate excess DHT.
This is the main reason why female and male pattern baldness occur.
These men and women have an excess amount of DHT stored in the body that ends up getting placed in the scalp.
Gradually their hair follicles are choked and they end up losing hair.
