Does Nutrafol act as a DHT blocker?

Nutrafol is a hair supplement that is often promoted for its ability to improve hair health and growth. One of the mechanisms by which Nutrafol is purported to work is through the blocking of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone known to contribute to androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male and female pattern baldness. Nutrafol includes ingredients such as saw palmetto, which is believed to inhibit the activity of 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme involved in the conversion of testosterone to DHT. By doing so, Nutrafol may reduce the levels of DHT and potentially slow down hair loss related to DHT sensitivity in hair follicles. However, individual results may vary, and the effectiveness of Nutrafol as a DHT blocker can differ from person to person.
