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.
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.
