Frequently asked,all answered.

RootMD Natural DHT Defense Formula bottle
What is DHT and why does it matter for hair loss?

DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a hormone linked to hereditary hair thinning in both men and women. In people who are genetically sensitive to DHT, hair follicles can gradually shrink over time, leading to finer, weaker hair and reduced density.

How does the RootMD Natural DHT Defense Formula work?

Our formula uses plant-based ingredients traditionally valued for supporting healthier hair growth and helping reduce the effects of DHT sensitivity. Ingredients like saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil help support follicle health while nourishing the scalp and hair from within.

Is saw palmetto a natural DHT blocker?

Yes. Saw palmetto is one of the most widely recognized natural ingredients used to help support healthier hair by reducing the impact of DHT on hair follicles.

Does pumpkin seed oil help with hair growth?

Pumpkin seed oil contains phytosterols and essential fatty acids that help nourish the scalp and support fuller, healthier-looking hair over time.

How long does it take to see results?

Hair growth is gradual and requires consistency. Most people begin noticing improvements in shedding, hair texture, and overall density after several months of daily use.

Can men and women both take this formula?

Yes. The RootMD Natural DHT Defense Formula was designed for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or excessive shedding.

Can I combine this with minoxidil or other hair loss treatments?

Yes. This formula can be combined with topical hair growth products, shampoos, conditioners, and physician-guided hair restoration plans.

Do I need a prescription?

No. The RootMD Natural DHT Defense Formula is designed as an easy-to-use daily supplement and does not require a prescription.
