I'm not ashamed to say that the hair thinning and loss was the result of menopause. It took me a while to make the connection because my hair would go through different transformations. Then the worst case of thinning and shedding set and my hairdresser asked me what was going on. It was so extreme that I wouldn't go to social events, only work at night. I've always been an inquisitive person and would never give up no matter what. I'm familiar with science and chemistry and that helped me. I stood in the mirror and looked at the condition of my hair and decided on a regimen. I make most of my products and I read labels for ingredients if store purchased. I definitely stayed away from hairdressers and mostly important for women of color is to choose healthy hair styles. I didn't want to be stressed during the process so I was relaxed and mindful of my hair condition. I have to admit that my first store bought item was a DHT blocker. After 6 weeks I saw result that made me cry.
I wish your products were stocked in Australia. It’s an extra $20+ on top of each product for delivery. With 4 tablets a day. Unfortunately It’s not really economical. I spoke with you in 2016 over the phone and you were very helpful and I really appreciate that. I’m now back on the combination of oral finasteride 0.5mg /minoxidil 2mg a day. Starting to re-include saw palmetto, biotin, zinc etc.
I understand. We’re finding new ways in the future to distribute easily in your part of the world. When’s the last time you checked to see the prices? For import
@@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist + I'm from Australia too and am SO disappointed I cant use your products. I already did use for about half a year and just couldnt take the postage cost. Your stuff is so good I left incredible reviews. Its heartbreaking. Cant you do something?
Yes the cost for us is huge! I used products for one year with zero results. Have again bought the dht blocker and the new serum. Serum I’m sad to say is very oily and needs washing off after use unlike the nutra m. So now I’m just going to give the dht blocker one last try again, but not really expecting a result.
I used it for bph but it destoyed my erections and libido also bl pepper green tea and tumerick, luckily erections are coming back as well as libido plus my mood and memory are much better so be very careful when taking supplements you might get as I did these severe side effects.
I’m sticking with the hairstem my hair has grown like wild flowers since I started incorporating the use of it! I recommend this product heavily. I didn’t take it seriously at first. Amazon keeps in stock along with the Dht blocker, and the Foligrowth. The shampoo is phenomenal as well. I need to restock on the nutra M it was my go to during the pandemic. I’m treating myself to the cap this year, and I’m so excited. 😎
Great educational video William. Just ordered the hairstem, didn't know about this, thanks Avery. My hair is still falling out after 9 1/2 months on the DHT Blocker and FoliGROWTH. I take Vitamim D, Biotin and Zinc It's all in my Vitamins and more. I do drink allot of Milk. I'll try the Ferritin. I was done with menopause at 48 so I don't think it was that. Started losing hair at 62. I do have a HairMax, the Head Band one, not the Cap, but stopped using it when I started using Williams products. I'm going to start using it again. I am retired so this is all getting expensive for me.
Did you get any blood work? Are you certain DHT is your problem? if you’re dealing with inflammation you may need to dietary changes or to go off so if the product that you are on
@@Hadi-Hadi25. I have been drinking milk all my life, and it doesn't create any mucus. I just had a bone scan and say's my bones are of a younger person, milk is good for you. I will never stop drinking it and it is mostly what I always drink. Whole Milk...
Yes I get blood work, Is there anything I need to look at? No I don't know if DHT is the problem, I wouldn't know if it was. I don't have any inflammation. My hair is still falling out after 9 1/2 months on the DHT Blocker and FoliGROWTH. I take Vitamim D, Biotin and Zinc etc It's all in my Vitamins. I do drink allot of Milk. I'll try the Ferritin.

@@calebgreening6508You prob looked it up before but the difference is DHT is the hormone while the 5-alpha is the producer of the hormone. Ab analogy for this is that 5-alpha would be the tree and DHT is oxygen.
This is good data. It leaves room for choice, which is very important. I feel that we are just starting to scratch the surface when it comes to seeing the effects and efficacy of finasteride and long term DHT blocking. I've been around hair loss data on and off for near 25 years now and I believe long term Fin use is dangerous.
I can summarize. It's not that the natural DHT blockers only block DHT at the hair follicle, it's that natural DHT blockers are less potent and block less DHT than something like Finasteride. Finasteride will block almost all of your DHT, which is great for stopping hair loss but may come with side effects since your body needs DHT for other functions. A natural DHT blocker might only block like 40% of the DHT in your body which is much less than finasteride and it will improve your hair condition but won't come with side effects since your body still produces DHT for other functions. At the end of the day, it depends on the person. Some people only need smaller amount of DHT blocked for hair growth, which makes natural supplements better, but for others they need a lot more DHT blocked and for those people they need to use Finasteride since natural blockers aren't potent enough. I would say give natural product a chance and if after 6 months it doesnt work, switch to finasteride
I am 35 and started to experience thinning hair when I was around 26. I was chronically sick at the time and took many antibiotics and steroids for about a 2 year period. I have gained 60+ pounds in the last 3 years and gone through multiple high stress events during the time. Now, more than ever, my hair has been significantly thinning on the top of my head and towards the back of my head. My part is very visible with my cowlick very noticeable on the top back section of my head, which makes it incredibly difficult to style my hair and feel professional. I recently started intermittent fasting for weight loss and been feeling better, but what can I do for my hair loss?! I got blood work done recently and there weren’t any concerns according to my doctor. Help!!
Microneedling with a dermastamp, topical minoxidil twice a day, cut out bread and dairy from your diet and increase your vitamin d intake and supplement with biotin. Buy a shampoo rubber scalp exfoliator, cleanse your hair once a week with apple cider vinegar diluted with water and black coffee, massage into your scalp with the scrubber. Don’t give up girly pop, you can do this 💚✨

Do you think there is a way to safely use minoxidil without harming cats in the household? If so, how? How toxic is minoxidil to cats if someone in the house uses it but obviously doesn’t put it on the cat?
What was everything you did in order to regrow your hair back to normal? How long did it take for your hair to regrow after you started dealing with the inflammation?
Glad to see a professional doctor not just shoving Finasteride on us because it is such a brutal drug, more so the Dutasteride. I do have some questions though. 1. Can one use the full natural DHT blocking supplementation with DIM (which I understand will help prevent conversion of T to estrogen and block whatever DHT is converted from attaching to the receptors)? 2. If I use the natural DHT blockers with topical Finasteride am I likely to get side effects? 3. Is it possible to hold off the hairloss to the point where the gene is no longer active and it simply stops or remains at a baseline? Suppose the natural DHT blockers stop the process for say 10 years, will it resume suddenly 15 years later?
Hi doctor, I got vitamin d level tested few months ago and it was around 12ng/ml, my hair started to thin since i was 14, I have a full head of hair but its just thin, do you think this could be due to dht or just vitamin d deficiency, I have been taking vitamin d supplements but there was no noticeable improvements
There is a lot that could be going into that situation and you could book a consult with one of our Junior Trichologists or take the quiz on www.advancedtrichology.com.
Hey doc, 22 yr old , O blood type, Vegetarian here Did my blood work in April Vitamin D3 14.3 ng/ml B12 180 pg/ml (Started supplementing Vitamin D 60000 IU weekly and a multivitamin called Follihair by Abbott since then as prescribed by my dermatologist) But still no improvement and my hair was losing its density and temples had started recede so recently my dermatologist prescribed me 5% tropical minoxidil But I am sceptical about using minoxidil, as I have to keep using it for ever afterwards. As I'm trying to address my hairloss in a natural way first and without going the pharmaceutical way in the beginning. So I started scalp massage to promote Blood flow to my scalp using head over skull method , (doing regularly twice a day since 2-3weeks now) but my hair fall got worse recently after starting scalp massages. It's falling out in clumps and is been worse since then. As far as my hair condition goes, i still have a head full of hair apart from less density since last year and a bit of receding hair line around temples What should I do?
O blood types cannot be vegetarians and naturally maintain a healthy head of hair. There’s a lot that goes into that, but I’m speaking from experience as I am an old blood type that was once a vegetarian.
I take 1mg finasteride EOD Minoxidil topical once a day Pygeum/Zinc/Saw/Lycopene oral capsule once a day saw palmetto oil + pumpkin seed oil once a day to hairline topical
I haven't been comfortable with what I've been hearing about DHT blockers, even Saw Palmetto (which I'm currently on but starting to ween off) has been reported as giving side effects similar to PFS. So I'm trying to stick with the natural topical treatments and make sure my vitamin protocol is in order.
Hello Doctor, im a 31 years old man, and since a year i've noticed a diffuse thining all over my scalpn, and more recenttly a massive hair loss all over my head. What kind of alopecia can it be according to you ? Can the DHT blocker from this video can help ? thanks a lot
Yes, there is a new formula which is out which does not have that same ingredient. It’s called the FoliGrowth follicular performance serum. a.co/d/aOP7BYa
While DHT blockers are a common treatment, exploring natural alternatives like rosemary oil can also be a valuable part of a hair care regimen. Studies have suggested that rosemary oil can stimulate hair growth and may be as effective as Minoxidil for some individuals, without the associated side effects. This is primarily attributed to its ability to improve blood circulation in the scalp, thus nourishing the hair follicles and promoting hair growth. However, it's important to note that results can vary from person to person, and what works well for one individual might not for another. Incorporating rosemary oil into your hair care routine can be done through direct scalp application, adding it to your shampoo, or using products that contain it as a key ingredient. As always, we recommend patch testing any new product or ingredient on a small area of your skin to ensure there's no adverse reaction. For personalized advice and to explore all your options for addressing hair loss, consider consulting with a hair growth specialist or trichologist who can offer tailored recommendations based on your specific situation and health history.

Hey doc! I checked my blood levels it looks fine although I didnt see no ferretin . Is it different than iron if so can you let me know? Great video and content as always!
Yes, Ferritin is your iron storage protein and that has to be tested separately. Typically Sarah Myron is good for most people even when their ferritin is low.
How do you know if it's got 45% fatty sterol? I bought an organic liquid saw palmetto online but it doesn't say anything about fatty acids in the description... Can you recommend the best 3 saw palmetto to purchase?
I’m currently waiting to see a dermatologist in London, I’m sure she’s going to say to finasteride, compared to this how affective would a combination of natural supplements be? Also what do you think to Baricitinib? Many thanks in advance
It's great that you're seeking advice from a dermatologist in London. They will be able to provide you with personalized recommendations based on a thorough evaluation of your condition. When it comes to hair loss, there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, and it's important to follow the guidance of a medical professional. That said, the effectiveness of natural supplements and treatments, compared to pharmaceutical options like finasteride, can vary from person to person. Natural supplements and lifestyle changes can be beneficial for some individuals, especially if your hair loss is related to nutrient deficiencies, stress, or other non-hormonal factors. However, they may not provide the same level of results as prescription medications like finasteride. As for Baricitinib, it's an FDA-approved medication used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and, more recently, as a potential treatment for hair loss disorders like alopecia areata. Its effectiveness can also vary from person to person, and it may be prescribed by a dermatologist if they believe it's a suitable option for your specific condition. Ultimately, the best approach is to consult with your dermatologist in London and discuss the various treatment options available. They will provide you with expert advice based on your diagnosis and medical history. Be sure to communicate your concerns and preferences, and work together to develop a treatment plan that suits your needs and goals.
Just today I got 5mg Fin from my local CVS, a 30 day supply ONLY cost me $5.00 I'll use a Pill Cutter to 1/4 them, that will give me 1.25 mg daily.... so... that's actually 120 days for $5.00 BTW... a local Dermatologist wrote the Rx so, I have to figure the office visit cost into the price of the Fin. But even with that... I have 3-refills so that's 480 days of 1.25mg Fin for $15.00 and I'm sure the Dr will refill the Rx without making me come in for another office visit. Now at 66 years old > > > fingers crossed I don't experience any sides.
Thank you for this video and your work! I had my vitamin D tested and I am at 30 mg/mL, what would proper supplementation be to get it at 60 and over? Also, can we be sure the natural DHT blockers like saw palmetto etc only work on the receptors and not systemic DHT levels? I am concerned about gynecomastia recurrence (had surgery years ago) which is why I am avoiding finasteride. I’m very interested in this topic. Thank you kindly 🙏🏻 (just ordered the NutraM serum! Excited to try it.
I'm a post menopause woman who suspects that my testosterone is to high as I'm experiencing hairs on my chin area that are more severe than just an occasional whisker that pops up that is easily plucked. I actually have to resort to shaving that area now as the number is to high for plucking. I'm also experiencing thinning of my once thick gorgeous hair ! It's heartbreaking! It was my best feature of female beauty that I was, I admit , quite vain about. I suspect that perhaps DHT blockers could help me? Can females benefit from this?
I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this-it's completely understandable to feel heartbroken when something like hair loss affects a part of your identity. 😔 Hormonal changes post-menopause can definitely lead to an increase in testosterone levels, and unfortunately, this can result in issues like unwanted facial hair and thinning scalp hair. ### Understanding the Role of DHT DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a hormone derived from testosterone, and it's known to contribute to hair thinning by shrinking hair follicles. While DHT is more commonly associated with male pattern baldness, it can also affect women, particularly after menopause when hormone levels fluctuate. ### Can DHT Blockers Help Women? Absolutely, women can benefit from DHT blockers, especially in situations like yours where there's a suspected hormonal imbalance. **DHT Blocker with Immune Support Nutraceuticals** can help by reducing the impact of DHT on your hair follicles, potentially slowing down or even stopping the thinning process. ### What You Can Do: 1. **DHT Blockers**: Consider incorporating a DHT blocker into your routine. These supplements can help manage the impact of DHT on your hair. Look for products that include natural DHT-blocking ingredients like **Saw Palmetto** and **Green Tea Extract**. 2. **Hormonal Evaluation**: It might be helpful to consult with your doctor to get your hormone levels checked. If your testosterone is indeed high, they might suggest treatments that can help balance your hormones, which could alleviate both the unwanted facial hair and the hair thinning. 3. **Topical Treatments**: In addition to a DHT blocker, you might want to consider topical treatments that promote hair growth, like the **NutraM Melatonin Hair Growth Serum**. This could help strengthen and thicken the hair you still have. 4. **Lifestyle Adjustments**: A balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management can also support your hair health by maintaining overall hormonal balance. It’s tough to go through these changes, but you’re not alone, and there are steps you can take to address the issue. A combination of DHT blockers, possibly some hormonal evaluation, and targeted hair treatments could make a significant difference. 🌸 ➡️For more personalized guidance and to explore suitable products, feel free to reach out to us at [www.advancedtrichology.com](www.advancedtrichology.com/).
I found the only thing that helped me is Finasteride tablets. Everything else is good and well, but without prescription medicine my condition would not see max results
Hi William, your NutraM serum has listed alcohol as its very first ingredient, implying there is a lot of it. Even though alcohol might be necessary for composition purposes, it surely isn't good for your scalp?
Hi William I am a female on HRT. I do not take estrogen(due to increased bleeding) just oral progesterone and testosterone injections biweekly. My scalp started getting acne a few days after each injection and then over the last few months my hairline has receded quite a bit and crown is shedding with a wider part and part at back below crown area. I went to dermatology. After the testosterone injections my scalp will get acne they gave ketonazole antifungal shampoo and clindamycin topical to “calm the scalp”. I asked about oral spironolactone and she refused and said it would cancel out the effects of HRT. She wanted to use compounded topical spironolactone(expensive). I called my HRT clinic and they gave me oral spironolactone 100mg/d. I have not yet started it. I have not used minoxidil either. I don’t know what to do. Should I not take the spironolactone and ask my clinic to decrease the testosterone(currently 50mg biweekly) or just stop the testosterone. Will my hair grow back if I take a lower dose? It seems obvious the testosterone dosage is too high or I just cannot tolerate it. Will it grow back if I stop the testosterone?
The NutraM Scalp Serum is a powerful, all-natural solution developed specifically to combat male and female pattern hair loss by targeting the root cause-DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Formulated over two years in our Arizona clinic, this serum is designed to block DHT directly at the hair follicle, promoting hair growth without the side effects commonly associated with synthetic treatments. How NutraM Scalp Serum Works: DHT Blocker: The core function of the NutraM Scalp Serum is to naturally inhibit DHT, a hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. By blocking DHT at the follicle level, the serum helps to prevent further hair loss and supports the growth of fuller, healthier hair. Natural Healing Herbs: The serum is enriched with a blend of topical vitamins and herbal ingredients that not only block DHT but also enhance the body’s natural healing mechanisms. These ingredients work synergistically to create an optimal environment for hair regrowth by reducing inflammation and nourishing the scalp. Clinically Proven Results: The effectiveness of NutraM Scalp Serum is supported by clinical research, including a double-blind study published in the International Journal of Trichology (2012), which demonstrated the efficacy of topical melatonin in treating androgenetic alopecia. Who Should Use NutraM Scalp Serum? For Women: Ideal for those experiencing hair thinning on the top of the scalp, particularly due to factors like hormonal changes (PCOS, post-partum, menopause), birth control pills, or age-related thinning. For Men: Best suited for men who began experiencing hair loss after age 17, especially if there is a family history of hair loss, and if the thinning is concentrated on the top of the scalp in typical male pattern baldness areas. Specific Benefits: Supports the growth of fuller, healthier hair. Acts as a topical DHT blocker to combat hair thinning at the source. Promotes overall scalp health, which is essential for sustained hair growth. Suitable for both men and women experiencing genetic hair loss. Directions for Use: Apply 1-2 ml of the serum daily to the scalp in areas of hair loss. For maximum results, it can be used as often as twice daily or as little as three times a week. NutraM Scalp Serum is a natural, clinically proven treatment for androgenetic alopecia, designed to be a safe and effective solution for both men and women looking to regain fuller, healthier hair. ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/
@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist That's great ! What are the herbs & vitamins in it ? From the point of view it may mean that I can cut down on some . I assume that with this serum I need not apply topically caffeine or saw pimento or pumpkin oil etc ? But carry on relevant supplements ( but not actual drug therapy if happy with hair growth etc) ?
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25842469/ The conclusion is that the clinical study provided evidence of the effectiveness of rosemary oil in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (AGA). It showed that, after a 6-month period, rosemary oil was as effective as minoxidil 2% in promoting hair growth, with both groups experiencing a significant increase in hair count at the 6-month evaluation. While more research may be needed to confirm and further explore these findings, the study suggests that rosemary oil may be a viable option for individuals seeking a natural remedy for AGA. Individual responses to treatments can vary, so consulting with a healthcare professional or trichologist is recommended for personalized guidance when considering treatments for hair loss. 🔴Melissa ( Customer Service Support) ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/
I have very low vitamin d but when I supplement even just once, I experience extra hair loss, presumably because of increased T and therefore DHT, but I can´t be sure
A lot of people don’t tolerate oral vitamin D well. Try using some vitamin D as a liquid topically in your belly button, on your wrists or on your inner thigh.
To a degree you’re correct, that’s why I say you should also use a topical to support the internal. I have also seen finasteride simply not be enough, so it really depends on your system.
Hello sir i am from India.i lost my hair in early age , drastically in few years. Now i am in 3rd stage. By taking DHT Blocker can i recovers my hair or it will only stop hair receding . My age is 21.
Doctor, this regime of natural DHT blocker vitamin therapy that is available in our country and I took it for 4years( for AGA) and the result was good . But after dengue, this protocol stops giving result . So what should we do to get same result after systemic infection like dengue bla bla . Please suggest .
Hello Dr @William Gaunitz Trichologist - Hair Loss Expert. I´d really like to start my treatment with the DHT Blocker that you recommend but I wonder how long I should take it? Does it happen the same as with Minoxidil that once you take it and stop using it, it causes more hair loss? I appreciate your help in answering these questions.
Hi there! We're delighted to hear you're considering starting a treatment with the DHT Blocker we recommend. Regarding the duration of use, it's essential to understand that each individual's response can vary. Typically, it's advised to continue the treatment as long as it's effective and well-tolerated. As for the comparison with Minoxidil, DHT Blockers work differently. They target the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which is known to contribute to hair loss. While stopping Minoxidil might lead to renewed hair loss, the effects of discontinuing a DHT Blocker can be different. However, it's often observed that maintaining consistent treatment yields the best results. We always recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for personalized advice based on your specific situation.

Hi sir, from India What's the solution of grey/white hair at early age. Is it because of lack of vitamins bcz its happens at early age ? Will u make a video on it?
Premature graying of hair can be influenced by several factors, including genetics, nutritional deficiencies, and stress. In many cases, a lack of certain vitamins and minerals-especially B vitamins like B12, as well as copper, iron, and zinc-can contribute to early graying. Addressing these deficiencies through diet or supplements may help slow down the process, though it's important to manage expectations, as genetics also play a significant role. Yes, a video covering this topic, including possible treatments and lifestyle adjustments, would be highly beneficial. In the meantime, consider incorporating foods rich in these nutrients into your diet and consulting with a healthcare professional for a personalized approach. ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/
Can my son use the topical finasteride along with the DHT blocker and Foligrowth? Should he also use the Nutra M? He is 19 and losing his hair pretty rapidly- MPB runs in the family, but we didn't expect it to be this early. His DHT was extremely high- off the charts.
You mentioned you used to suffer from hair loss, do you currently treat it with your own products or use finasteride? I used finasteride for 3+ years with no side effects until recently. Idk why I got side effects years later
I moved from Toronto to Delhi 2 months back. Here, air pollution is at extreme levels and I feel water isn’t pure either even though I have a water purifier. My hair fall has gone worse since 1 month and earlier it was mild. I had hair transplant 7 months back. I had good results but it’s all now turning back. I am on Finastride 1 mg and Minoxidil 5 once a day. I am also Vitamin D deficient and take it orally. I stopped omega 3 when I moved. I have mild arthritis as well in my knees only and slightly higher TSH levels. Not taking any medication for them. Please advise what I can do.
Heyyyy need help My vitamin d3 was 27 and vb12 was 160 having heavy hair shedding (diffuse ) and used minoxidil and tropical sol but nothing worked …..just 17
Is the DHT Blocker okay to take with bio-identical hormones (I am taking progesterone, estradiol, testosterone, and dhea)? I don't want to take the DHT Blocker if it will cancel out my hormone drops that I'm using.
Are you losing hair? The testosterone of the DHGA as HRT will usually expedite female pattern hair loss. You would almost have to use a DHT blocker to offset that. No, it will not compromise the results of your HRT.
I don’t believe it blocks the DHT in anyway. Ketoconazole is an anti-fungal and it does show some anti-inflammatory capabilities. But that is because it kills the fungus which reduces inflammation. That ultimately does not impact DHT. In my opinion, block the DHT and maintain a healthy scalp micro biome.
You discuss topical Finasteride- my son is only 19 and we are worried about oral finasteride with the side effects at his age. A Dr. prescribed him the topical cream at 2.5%- is that too much for daily use? If you think ok, what specifically in conjunction should he use for optimal results?
I had more side effects from topical than oral. Because it’s hard to regulate how much you’re applying. If you put it on the entire scalp you may well be exposing yourself to more than if you just took oral. Also I started at 21 I’m just fine.
Hello William, I’m reacting to this video because it is a very recent one and I hope you will see my question. I’ve been losing hair for about two years now, about 30% of my hair is gone. I’ve had an appointment with a dermatologist and after looking at my past/present and the medication I’m taking, she says that it’s telogenic affluvium. My blood is being checked to see if that can be the reason why. She said that my medication is most likely the cause. I have to use the meds unfortunately so I’m a bit scared that I’m going to lose more. Is this a condition where no new hair is growing back? And would the hair growth recover when the meds are stopped? In one of your videos you mention that hair doesn’t come back when a certain amount of time has passed. Is that also the case with telogenic affluvium? I love your videos and I’m learning a lot!
Hello Doctor! What's the efficacy of the natural DHT blockers compared to finasteride? I just underwent a hair tranpslant and have made a decision to not go with finasteride in either oral/topical form. Can i preserve my non transplanted hair with the natural DHT blockers?
Natural DHT blockers orally arenabout half as affective as finasteride, depending upon the brand and the formula. If you use a topical DHT blocker along side a natural DHT blocker, you will typically average out to be as effective as finasteride again, depending upon brand and formula.
@@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist but topical finasteride is also known to go systemic and cause side-effects and things like post finasteride syndrome. Or do you mean natural topical DHT blockers?
Would Saw Palmetto help with hair loss due to taking levothyroxine? My thyroid levels are controlled well by it, but my hair is still very thin... Would it help?
Can I use your natural dht blocker before pregnancy? How much time before get pregnant I have to stop? Will my hair fell out again if I dont use it anymore?
I recently discovered your channel and find it very helpful. Thank you. My question is im a male in my 50’s and have male pattern baldness on top, but there is still hair there, it’s vellus hair as they call it. I tried finasteride but I am very sensitive to side effects. Any ideas that don’t require me to take anything internally? Thanks.
If I buy the dht blocker and foligrowth hair growth supplement, can I use them together? How should I take them so they don’t clash with each other or harm the body?
Yes, you can use both the DHT Blocker and FoliGrowth Hair Growth Supplement together, as they are designed to complement each other and target different aspects of hair health. Here’s how to use them effectively: DHT Blocker Purpose: This supplement is primarily focused on reducing the levels of DHT, a hormone that contributes to hair loss, especially in androgenic alopecia. Dosage: Follow the recommended dosage on the product label, usually 1-2 capsules per day. Timing: Take the DHT Blocker with meals, as this can enhance absorption and reduce the chance of stomach upset. FoliGrowth Hair Growth Supplement Purpose: This supplement provides a comprehensive blend of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that support overall hair health and growth. Dosage: Follow the recommended dosage on the product label, usually 2-3 capsules per day. Timing: Spread the doses throughout the day (morning and evening) to maximize nutrient absorption. It’s also best to take it with meals. Combining Both Supplements No Clashing Ingredients: The DHT Blocker and FoliGrowth are formulated to be taken together without any harmful interactions. They work in different ways-one focusing on hormone regulation (DHT Blocker) and the other on nutrient supply (FoliGrowth). Routine: You can take both supplements with meals to improve absorption and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort. For instance, take the DHT Blocker with breakfast and FoliGrowth with lunch and dinner. Hydration and Monitoring Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body process the supplements and avoid any potential side effects like dehydration. Monitor Your Body: While these supplements are generally safe, keep an eye on how your body responds.

In reality most natural DHT blockers are simply not strong enough even in high doses.
Wrong… 😂

@@JaythesparrowGoing to say more than just “wrong laugh face”?
Does anyone have any evidence in either direction? Any credentials more than this doctor in the video? He seems to know his stuff.
I would like to say saw palmetto doesn't affect me but I realized for a while my face and body bloating,eye suffer from dry eye
I corrected my hair loss myself. No expensive products involved at all. Amazing results that even shocked myself.
Amazing! nice work
Plz elaborate how and how bad. Was it diet.
Please tell us
So amazing you decided not to share how 😂
I'm not ashamed to say that the hair thinning and loss was the result of menopause. It took me a while to make the connection because my hair would go through different transformations. Then the worst case of thinning and shedding set and my hairdresser asked me what was going on. It was so extreme that I wouldn't go to social events, only work at night. I've always been an inquisitive person and would never give up no matter what. I'm familiar with science and chemistry and that helped me. I stood in the mirror and looked at the condition of my hair and decided on a regimen. I make most of my products and I read labels for ingredients if store purchased. I definitely stayed away from hairdressers and mostly important for women of color is to choose healthy hair styles. I didn't want to be stressed during the process so I was relaxed and mindful of my hair condition. I have to admit that my first store bought item was a DHT blocker. After 6 weeks I saw result that made me cry.
I wish your products were stocked in Australia. It’s an extra $20+ on top of each product for delivery. With 4 tablets a day. Unfortunately It’s not really economical. I spoke with you in 2016 over the phone and you were very helpful and I really appreciate that. I’m now back on the combination of oral finasteride 0.5mg /minoxidil 2mg a day. Starting to re-include saw palmetto, biotin, zinc etc.
I understand. We’re finding new ways in the future to distribute easily in your part of the world. When’s the last time you checked to see the prices? For import
Thanks William I just messaged your insta DM. Thanks 😊
@@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist + I'm from Australia too and am SO disappointed I cant use your products. I already did use for about half a year and just couldnt take the postage cost. Your stuff is so good I left incredible reviews. Its heartbreaking. Cant you do something?
Yes the cost for us is huge! I used products for one year with zero results. Have again bought the dht blocker and the new serum. Serum I’m sad to say is very oily and needs washing off after use unlike the nutra m. So now I’m just going to give the dht blocker one last try again, but not really expecting a result.
What ever you are doing, your hair is amazing.
Finasteride and minoxidil saved him
If I could get finasteride in my country I would start it immediately 😭
Fk dht blockers 🤡
Saw palmetto works 100% did make me very anxious over time and I couldn’t figure out why until I took a break off it
Me too I get too much anxiety. Did you got less anxious overtime?
I used it for bph but it destoyed my erections and libido also bl
pepper green tea and tumerick, luckily erections are coming back as well as libido plus my mood and memory are much better so be very careful when taking supplements you might get as I did these severe side effects.
Great information..watching you from Syria..your channel has helped me
...much love and respect ❤
Glad I can help!
I’m sticking with the hairstem my hair has grown like wild flowers since I started incorporating the use of it! I recommend this product heavily. I didn’t take it seriously at first. Amazon keeps in stock along with the Dht blocker, and the Foligrowth. The shampoo is phenomenal as well. I need to restock on the nutra M it was my go to during the pandemic. I’m treating myself to the cap this year, and I’m so excited. 😎
What is that?
What is that I was wondering
What is hairstem my friend can you tell us please
PLEASE reply to what exactly is the hairstem???
Guess his hairstem didn't work.
Great educational video William. Just ordered the hairstem, didn't know about this, thanks Avery. My hair is still falling out after 9 1/2 months on the DHT Blocker and FoliGROWTH. I take Vitamim D, Biotin and Zinc It's all in my Vitamins and more. I do drink allot of Milk. I'll try the Ferritin. I was done with menopause at 48 so I don't think it was that. Started losing hair at 62. I do have a HairMax, the Head Band one, not the Cap, but stopped using it when I started using Williams products. I'm going to start using it again. I am retired so this is all getting expensive for me.
Did you get any blood work? Are you certain DHT is your problem? if you’re dealing with inflammation you may need to dietary changes or to go off so if the product that you are on
Milk is not good for the hair
It creates a lot of mucus
@@Hadi-Hadi25. I have been drinking milk all my life, and it doesn't create any mucus. I just had a bone scan and say's my bones are of a younger person, milk is good for you. I will never stop drinking it and it is mostly what I always drink. Whole Milk...
Yes I get blood work, Is there anything I need to look at? No I don't know if DHT is the problem, I wouldn't know if it was. I don't have any inflammation.

Finally, a wonderful truthful video.
This video is SUPER underrated GODDAMN
It is important to make a distinction between DHT blocker and 5-alpha reductase blockers.
What is the difference?
@@calebgreening6508You prob looked it up before but the difference is DHT is the hormone while the 5-alpha is the producer of the hormone. Ab analogy for this is that 5-alpha would be the tree and DHT is oxygen.
I’ve been using saw palmetto for 2 months and can feel that hair loss has been stopping
This is good data. It leaves room for choice, which is very important. I feel that we are just starting to scratch the surface when it comes to seeing the effects and efficacy of finasteride and long term DHT blocking. I've been around hair loss data on and off for near 25 years now and I believe long term Fin use is dangerous.
The DHT blocker that u mentioned is really wow it’s very effective it’s been less than one week and it has amazing results
Hair takes 3 months to regrow
Seriously! You are simply wrong. Doesn't work that fast. Placebo much?
Dear Dr. Gaunitz,
how can it be that the natural DHT blockers only block DHT specifically at the hair follicles and not systemically?
Best regards!
No answer to that one!
I can summarize. It's not that the natural DHT blockers only block DHT at the hair follicle, it's that natural DHT blockers are less potent and block less DHT than something like Finasteride. Finasteride will block almost all of your DHT, which is great for stopping hair loss but may come with side effects since your body needs DHT for other functions.
A natural DHT blocker might only block like 40% of the DHT in your body which is much less than finasteride and it will improve your hair condition but won't come with side effects since your body still produces DHT for other functions. At the end of the day, it depends on the person. Some people only need smaller amount of DHT blocked for hair growth, which makes natural supplements better, but for others they need a lot more DHT blocked and for those people they need to use Finasteride since natural blockers aren't potent enough. I would say give natural product a chance and if after 6 months it doesnt work, switch to finasteride
@@matteopepe28 good explanation. Bravo.
I am 35 and started to experience thinning hair when I was around 26. I was chronically sick at the time and took many antibiotics and steroids for about a 2 year period.
I have gained 60+ pounds in the last 3 years and gone through multiple high stress events during the time.
Now, more than ever, my hair has been significantly thinning on the top of my head and towards the back of my head. My part is very visible with my cowlick very noticeable on the top back section of my head, which makes it incredibly difficult to style my hair and feel professional.
I recently started intermittent fasting for weight loss and been feeling better, but what can I do for my hair loss?!
I got blood work done recently and there weren’t any concerns according to my doctor. Help!!
Microneedling with a dermastamp, topical minoxidil twice a day, cut out bread and dairy from your diet and increase your vitamin d intake and supplement with biotin. Buy a shampoo rubber scalp exfoliator, cleanse your hair once a week with apple cider vinegar diluted with water and black coffee, massage into your scalp with the scrubber. Don’t give up girly pop, you can do this 💚✨
Micro needle twice a week with between 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm.
I really appreciate your feedback, I will definitely try these!! :)

also wondering about his inflamation experience
Glad to see a professional doctor not just shoving Finasteride on us because it is such a brutal drug, more so the Dutasteride. I do have some questions though.
1. Can one use the full natural DHT blocking supplementation with DIM (which I understand will help prevent conversion of T to estrogen and block whatever DHT is converted from attaching to the receptors)?
2. If I use the natural DHT blockers with topical Finasteride am I likely to get side effects?
3. Is it possible to hold off the hairloss to the point where the gene is no longer active and it simply stops or remains at a baseline? Suppose the natural DHT blockers stop the process for say 10 years, will it resume suddenly 15 years later?
He is not a doctor
Um, no. Finasteride is the less potent DHT blocker than Dutasteride. You are sadly mistaken.
Hi doctor,
I got vitamin d level tested few months ago and it was around 12ng/ml, my hair started to thin since i was 14, I have a full head of hair but its just thin, do you think this could be due to dht or just vitamin d deficiency, I have been taking vitamin d supplements but there was no noticeable improvements
Try minoxidil but it's a lifetime commitment.
Wuz it D3 with K2?
Is pumpkin seed oil topical is beneficial than rosemary oil?
You gave a - Lot - of info doc
How do I know if I need a DHT blocker? I'm a 65 year old woman with Constant shedding of my hair.
There is a lot that could be going into that situation and you could book a consult with one of our Junior Trichologists or take the quiz on www.advancedtrichology.com.
Hey doc, 22 yr old , O blood type, Vegetarian here
Did my blood work in April
Vitamin D3 14.3 ng/ml
B12 180 pg/ml
(Started supplementing Vitamin D 60000 IU weekly and a multivitamin called Follihair by Abbott since then as prescribed by my dermatologist)
But still no improvement and my hair was losing its density and temples had started recede so recently my dermatologist prescribed me 5% tropical minoxidil
But I am sceptical about using minoxidil, as I have to keep using it for ever afterwards.
As I'm trying to address my hairloss in a natural way first and without going the pharmaceutical way in the beginning.
So I started scalp massage to promote
Blood flow to my scalp using head over skull method , (doing regularly twice a day since 2-3weeks now)
but my hair fall got worse recently after starting scalp massages. It's falling out in clumps and is been worse since then.
As far as my hair condition goes, i still have a head full of hair apart from less density since last year and a bit of receding hair line around temples
What should I do?
Did you get a Ferritin or zinc test?
O blood types cannot be vegetarians and naturally maintain a healthy head of hair. There’s a lot that goes into that, but I’m speaking from experience as I am an old blood type that was once a vegetarian.
Go to the third episode of my podcast and listen to that… I speak in great detail about what happens in this scenario, and how to fix it
Get of that ridiculous vegetarian diet asap. Trust me. You need meat
@@Herbie11what makes you say that? Millions of people are vegetarian only

Dr, I have painfull in scalp, what i should Do? This more then 5 years.
I live healthy life style
Thank you soo much
Is there a hair loss associated with the scalp problem?
you must use a dermaroller
I haven't been comfortable with what I've been hearing about DHT blockers, even Saw Palmetto (which I'm currently on but starting to ween off) has been reported as giving side effects similar to PFS. So I'm trying to stick with the natural topical treatments and make sure my vitamin protocol is in order.
What are your thoughts on the use of vinegar in relation to hair growth?
Don’t… i tested all sorts vinegars topically. It ust aggravates most situations
Hello Doctor, im a 31 years old man, and since a year i've noticed a diffuse thining all over my scalpn, and more recenttly a massive hair loss all over my head. What kind of alopecia can it be according to you ? Can the DHT blocker from this video can help ? thanks a lot
Not Dht… could be inflammatory or nutritional
The reason why I stopped using Nutra M is because the niacin was making the rosacea on my face act up. Are there any topical melatonin without niacin?
Yes, there is a new formula which is out which does not have that same ingredient. It’s called the FoliGrowth follicular performance serum. a.co/d/aOP7BYa
How about Rosemary Oil? There is a study showing it works as effectively as Minoxidil. Your thoughts?
While DHT blockers are a common treatment, exploring natural alternatives like rosemary oil can also be a valuable part of a hair care regimen.
Studies have suggested that rosemary oil can stimulate hair growth and may be as effective as Minoxidil for some individuals, without the associated side effects. This is primarily attributed to its ability to improve blood circulation in the scalp, thus nourishing the hair follicles and promoting hair growth. However, it's important to note that results can vary from person to person, and what works well for one individual might not for another.
Incorporating rosemary oil into your hair care routine can be done through direct scalp application, adding it to your shampoo, or using products that contain it as a key ingredient. As always, we recommend patch testing any new product or ingredient on a small area of your skin to ensure there's no adverse reaction.
For personalized advice and to explore all your options for addressing hair loss, consider consulting with a hair growth specialist or trichologist who can offer tailored recommendations based on your specific situation and health history.

Will DHT help growth too? ❤
What do you mean?
I have no hair loss myself, should I still buy your shampoo to preserve healthy hair over long term and why?
Hey doc! I checked my blood levels it looks fine although I didnt see no ferretin . Is it different than iron if so can you let me know? Great video and content as always!
Yes, Ferritin is your iron storage protein and that has to be tested separately. Typically Sarah Myron is good for most people even when their ferritin is low.
I was told if your hair loss is genetic, then there is really nothing that can help with hair loss...Is that correct?
DHT hairloss = genetic hairloss
How do you know if it's got 45% fatty sterol? I bought an organic liquid saw palmetto online but it doesn't say anything about fatty acids in the description... Can you recommend the best 3 saw palmetto to purchase?
Great question… That means it’s not standardize and may or may not have the appropriate concentration
Will blocking DHT effect my testosterone levels?
You should read up more, and get out of this thread. Maybe some scientific studies rather than fake doctors giving advice on YT.
Yes testosterone does increase bc it’s not converted into der. But that heightened testosterone also means higher estrogen.
I’m currently waiting to see a dermatologist in London, I’m sure she’s going to say to finasteride, compared to this how affective would a combination of natural supplements be? Also what do you think to Baricitinib?
Many thanks in advance
It's great that you're seeking advice from a dermatologist in London. They will be able to provide you with personalized recommendations based on a thorough evaluation of your condition. When it comes to hair loss, there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, and it's important to follow the guidance of a medical professional.
That said, the effectiveness of natural supplements and treatments, compared to pharmaceutical options like finasteride, can vary from person to person. Natural supplements and lifestyle changes can be beneficial for some individuals, especially if your hair loss is related to nutrient deficiencies, stress, or other non-hormonal factors. However, they may not provide the same level of results as prescription medications like finasteride.
As for Baricitinib, it's an FDA-approved medication used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and, more recently, as a potential treatment for hair loss disorders like alopecia areata. Its effectiveness can also vary from person to person, and it may be prescribed by a dermatologist if they believe it's a suitable option for your specific condition.
Ultimately, the best approach is to consult with your dermatologist in London and discuss the various treatment options available. They will provide you with expert advice based on your diagnosis and medical history. Be sure to communicate your concerns and preferences, and work together to develop a treatment plan that suits your needs and goals.

Will (.025-0.1%)tretinoin be good with minox?For widows peak area.
Just today I got 5mg Fin from my local CVS, a 30 day supply ONLY cost me $5.00
I'll use a Pill Cutter to 1/4 them, that will give me 1.25 mg daily.... so... that's actually 120 days for $5.00
BTW... a local Dermatologist wrote the Rx so, I have to figure the office visit cost into the price of the Fin.
But even with that... I have 3-refills so that's 480 days of 1.25mg Fin for $15.00 and I'm sure the Dr will refill the Rx without making me come in for another office visit.

I'm a post menopause woman who suspects that my testosterone is to high as I'm experiencing hairs on my chin area that are more severe than just an occasional whisker that pops up that is easily plucked. I actually have to resort to shaving that area now as the number is to high for plucking. I'm also experiencing thinning of my once thick gorgeous hair ! It's heartbreaking! It was my best feature of female beauty that I was, I admit , quite vain about. I suspect that perhaps DHT blockers could help me? Can females benefit from this?
I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this-it's completely understandable to feel heartbroken when something like hair loss affects a part of your identity. 😔 Hormonal changes post-menopause can definitely lead to an increase in testosterone levels, and unfortunately, this can result in issues like unwanted facial hair and thinning scalp hair.
### Understanding the Role of DHT
DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a hormone derived from testosterone, and it's known to contribute to hair thinning by shrinking hair follicles. While DHT is more commonly associated with male pattern baldness, it can also affect women, particularly after menopause when hormone levels fluctuate.
### Can DHT Blockers Help Women?
Absolutely, women can benefit from DHT blockers, especially in situations like yours where there's a suspected hormonal imbalance. **DHT Blocker with Immune Support Nutraceuticals** can help by reducing the impact of DHT on your hair follicles, potentially slowing down or even stopping the thinning process.
### What You Can Do:
1. **DHT Blockers**: Consider incorporating a DHT blocker into your routine. These supplements can help manage the impact of DHT on your hair. Look for products that include natural DHT-blocking ingredients like **Saw Palmetto** and **Green Tea Extract**.
2. **Hormonal Evaluation**: It might be helpful to consult with your doctor to get your hormone levels checked. If your testosterone is indeed high, they might suggest treatments that can help balance your hormones, which could alleviate both the unwanted facial hair and the hair thinning.
3. **Topical Treatments**: In addition to a DHT blocker, you might want to consider topical treatments that promote hair growth, like the **NutraM Melatonin Hair Growth Serum**. This could help strengthen and thicken the hair you still have.
4. **Lifestyle Adjustments**: A balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management can also support your hair health by maintaining overall hormonal balance.
It’s tough to go through these changes, but you’re not alone, and there are steps you can take to address the issue. A combination of DHT blockers, possibly some hormonal evaluation, and targeted hair treatments could make a significant difference. 🌸

Hi William, your NutraM serum has listed alcohol as its very first ingredient, implying there is a lot of it. Even though alcohol might be necessary for composition purposes, it surely isn't good for your scalp?
Can women use saw palmetto, stinging nettle, and pygeum africanum?
Sure can. Just not during pregnancy.
Hi William I am a female on HRT. I do not take estrogen(due to increased bleeding) just oral progesterone and testosterone injections biweekly. My scalp started getting acne a few days after each injection and then over the last few months my hairline has receded quite a bit and crown is shedding with a wider part and part at back below crown area. I went to dermatology. After the testosterone injections my scalp will get acne they gave ketonazole antifungal shampoo and clindamycin topical to “calm the scalp”. I asked about oral spironolactone and she refused and said it would cancel out the effects of HRT. She wanted to use compounded topical spironolactone(expensive). I called my HRT clinic and they gave me oral spironolactone 100mg/d. I have not yet started it. I have not used minoxidil either. I don’t know what to do. Should I not take the spironolactone and ask my clinic to decrease the testosterone(currently 50mg biweekly) or just stop the testosterone. Will my hair grow back if I take a lower dose? It seems obvious the testosterone dosage is too high or I just cannot tolerate it. Will it grow back if I stop the testosterone?
Why are you taking testosterone as a woman. Just curious?

Is it safe to take Saw Palmetto long term? When I google it, it looks like it may not be.
Could you expand on how NutraM DHT serum works please ?
The NutraM Scalp Serum is a powerful, all-natural solution developed specifically to combat male and female pattern hair loss by targeting the root cause-DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Formulated over two years in our Arizona clinic, this serum is designed to block DHT directly at the hair follicle, promoting hair growth without the side effects commonly associated with synthetic treatments.
How NutraM Scalp Serum Works:
DHT Blocker:
The core function of the NutraM Scalp Serum is to naturally inhibit DHT, a hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. By blocking DHT at the follicle level, the serum helps to prevent further hair loss and supports the growth of fuller, healthier hair.
Natural Healing Herbs:
The serum is enriched with a blend of topical vitamins and herbal ingredients that not only block DHT but also enhance the body’s natural healing mechanisms. These ingredients work synergistically to create an optimal environment for hair regrowth by reducing inflammation and nourishing the scalp.
Clinically Proven Results:
The effectiveness of NutraM Scalp Serum is supported by clinical research, including a double-blind study published in the International Journal of Trichology (2012), which demonstrated the efficacy of topical melatonin in treating androgenetic alopecia.
Who Should Use NutraM Scalp Serum?
For Women:
Ideal for those experiencing hair thinning on the top of the scalp, particularly due to factors like hormonal changes (PCOS, post-partum, menopause), birth control pills, or age-related thinning.
For Men:
Best suited for men who began experiencing hair loss after age 17, especially if there is a family history of hair loss, and if the thinning is concentrated on the top of the scalp in typical male pattern baldness areas.
Specific Benefits:
Supports the growth of fuller, healthier hair.
Acts as a topical DHT blocker to combat hair thinning at the source.
Promotes overall scalp health, which is essential for sustained hair growth.
Suitable for both men and women experiencing genetic hair loss.
Directions for Use:
Apply 1-2 ml of the serum daily to the scalp in areas of hair loss.
For maximum results, it can be used as often as twice daily or as little as three times a week.
NutraM Scalp Serum is a natural, clinically proven treatment for androgenetic alopecia, designed to be a safe and effective solution for both men and women looking to regain fuller, healthier hair.

That's great !
What are the herbs & vitamins in it ?
From the point of view it may mean that I can cut down on some .
I assume that with this serum I need not apply topically caffeine or saw pimento or pumpkin oil etc ?
But carry on relevant supplements ( but not actual drug therapy if happy with hair growth etc) ?
Dr. I also heard that olive oil is a dht blocker because of the fatty acids that are in it, what do you think?
No, you can help her do some inflammation when you consume it regularly and internally. But it is not a DHT blocker.
@WilliamGauni coffee is a DHT blocker
How about Rosemary oil? There is a clinical study that proves it works as effectively as minoxidil 2.5mg
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25842469/
The conclusion is that the clinical study provided evidence of the effectiveness of rosemary oil in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (AGA). It showed that, after a 6-month period, rosemary oil was as effective as minoxidil 2% in promoting hair growth, with both groups experiencing a significant increase in hair count at the 6-month evaluation. While more research may be needed to confirm and further explore these findings, the study suggests that rosemary oil may be a viable option for individuals seeking a natural remedy for AGA. Individual responses to treatments can vary, so consulting with a healthcare professional or trichologist is recommended for personalized guidance when considering treatments for hair loss.

I have hair thinning all over my head. I had dandruff for almost 8 years and i have oily skin which i didnt wash often. Could this be the reason?
I have very low vitamin d but when I supplement even just once, I experience extra hair loss, presumably because of increased T and therefore DHT, but I can´t be sure
A lot of people don’t tolerate oral vitamin D well. Try using some vitamin D as a liquid topically in your belly button, on your wrists or on your inner thigh.
What levels should your zinc be at for optimal hair growth and pattern hair loss?
Always split the range… Usually around 90 to 100 is fine
natural DHT blockers do not lower DHT enough to make any difference at all.
To a degree you’re correct, that’s why I say you should also use a topical to support the internal. I have also seen finasteride simply not be enough, so it really depends on your system.
Great information, totally agree 💯
Hello sir i am from India.i lost my hair in early age , drastically in few years. Now i am in 3rd stage. By taking DHT Blocker can i recovers my hair or it will only stop hair receding . My age is 21.
Is it safe to take Saw Palmetto or Natural DHT blockers for an extended period of time? For say two years and upwards
Good question
Doctor, this regime of natural DHT blocker vitamin therapy that is available in our country and I took it for 4years( for AGA) and the result was good . But after dengue, this protocol stops giving result . So what should we do to get same result after systemic infection like dengue bla bla . Please suggest .
Should natural dht blockers alongwith minoxidil is good for first line of defence and for initial regrowth of hair (for early stages)
I feel like God helps through you.
That is very kind
Hello Dr @William Gaunitz Trichologist - Hair Loss Expert. I´d really like to start my treatment with the DHT Blocker that you recommend but I wonder how long I should take it? Does it happen the same as with Minoxidil that once you take it and stop using it, it causes more hair loss? I appreciate your help in answering these questions.
Hi there! We're delighted to hear you're considering starting a treatment with the DHT Blocker we recommend. Regarding the duration of use, it's essential to understand that each individual's response can vary. Typically, it's advised to continue the treatment as long as it's effective and well-tolerated. As for the comparison with Minoxidil, DHT Blockers work differently. They target the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which is known to contribute to hair loss. While stopping Minoxidil might lead to renewed hair loss, the effects of discontinuing a DHT Blocker can be different. However, it's often observed that maintaining consistent treatment yields the best results. We always recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for personalized advice based on your specific situation.

Hi sir, from India
What's the solution of grey/white hair at early age.
Is it because of lack of vitamins bcz its happens at early age ?
Will u make a video on it?
Premature graying of hair can be influenced by several factors, including genetics, nutritional deficiencies, and stress. In many cases, a lack of certain vitamins and minerals-especially B vitamins like B12, as well as copper, iron, and zinc-can contribute to early graying. Addressing these deficiencies through diet or supplements may help slow down the process, though it's important to manage expectations, as genetics also play a significant role.
Yes, a video covering this topic, including possible treatments and lifestyle adjustments, would be highly beneficial. In the meantime, consider incorporating foods rich in these nutrients into your diet and consulting with a healthcare professional for a personalized approach.

Can my son use the topical finasteride along with the DHT blocker and Foligrowth? Should he also use the Nutra M? He is 19 and losing his hair pretty rapidly- MPB runs in the family, but we didn't expect it to be this early. His DHT was extremely high- off the charts.
Saw palmetto is supposed to help
What do you recommend for a 22year old male with hair thinning issues?
Tell him to stop wackin'. Seriously
You mentioned you used to suffer from hair loss, do you currently treat it with your own products or use finasteride? I used finasteride for 3+ years with no side effects until recently. Idk why I got side effects years later
What symptoms have you felt recently?
@@MestreKamedaLanchacomplete loss of libido and ED, maybe some muscle weakness too.
How much dose do you take?! Has your hair stopped falling out or has it just become slower?
I moved from Toronto to Delhi 2 months back. Here, air pollution is at extreme levels and I feel water isn’t pure either even though I have a water purifier. My hair fall has gone worse since 1 month and earlier it was mild. I had hair transplant 7 months back.
I had good results but it’s all now turning back. I am on Finastride 1 mg and Minoxidil 5 once a day. I am also Vitamin D deficient and take it orally. I stopped omega 3 when I moved.
I have mild arthritis as well in my knees only and slightly higher TSH levels. Not taking any medication for them.
Please advise what I can do.
Heyyyy need help
My vitamin d3 was 27 and vb12 was 160 having heavy hair shedding (diffuse ) and used minoxidil and tropical sol but nothing worked …..just 17
No Fin? no wonder nothing worked.
Dr. I’ve got a question, is using green tea powder in a hair mask with essential oils useful? Or is a green tea essential oil needed?
I don’t think so actually. I think it needs to be used internally. Essential oils should be helpful topically
@@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist ok thank you!
Is the DHT Blocker okay to take with bio-identical hormones (I am taking progesterone, estradiol, testosterone, and dhea)? I don't want to take the DHT Blocker if it will cancel out my hormone drops that I'm using.
Are you losing hair? The testosterone of the DHGA as HRT will usually expedite female pattern hair loss. You would almost have to use a DHT blocker to offset that. No, it will not compromise the results of your HRT.
If my scalp often secretes a lot of oil, what should I do to fix it?
You're washing too often. Seriously.
Use Shampoo having salicylic acid
Do you have a video that explains how a person taking testosterone can take finasteride at the same time?
No but that it great idea
@@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist Thank you for taking the time to respond
What about ketoconazole for a topical dht blocker?
I don’t believe it blocks the DHT in anyway. Ketoconazole is an anti-fungal and it does show some anti-inflammatory capabilities. But that is because it kills the fungus which reduces inflammation. That ultimately does not impact DHT. In my opinion, block the DHT and maintain a healthy scalp micro biome.
Hi doc can I take only 2 a day
You discuss topical Finasteride- my son is only 19 and we are worried about oral finasteride with the side effects at his age. A Dr. prescribed him the topical cream at 2.5%- is that too much for daily use? If you think ok, what specifically in conjunction should he use for optimal results?
I had more side effects from topical than oral. Because it’s hard to regulate how much you’re applying. If you put it on the entire scalp you may well be exposing yourself to more than if you just took oral. Also I started at 21 I’m just fine.
Do you do consulting online?
I do..
Link is in the channel links
Hello William,
I’m reacting to this video because it is a very recent one and I hope you will see my question.
I’ve been losing hair for about two years now, about 30% of my hair is gone. I’ve had an appointment with a dermatologist and after looking at my past/present and the medication I’m taking, she says that it’s telogenic affluvium. My blood is being checked to see if that can be the reason why.
She said that my medication is most likely the cause.
I have to use the meds unfortunately so I’m a bit scared that I’m going to lose more.
Is this a condition where no new hair is growing back? And would the hair growth recover when the meds are stopped?
In one of your videos you mention that hair doesn’t come back when a certain amount of time has passed. Is that also the case with telogenic affluvium?
I love your videos and I’m learning a lot!
What is the medication?
Hi william am 2 weeks on daily 1mg fin and have been really stressed the last month. Will having high levels of stress hinder the results of fin?
Thanks doc
Thank you
Does eating Rosemary block DHT?
No
Good question.
It was study that rosemary topical using is effective as minoxidil 2% in 6 months period of testing.
Finastride makes my eyebrows to fall what I can do 😟
It got rid of 90% of my back hair. Seriously. Not the brows though.
What cause overall hair fall and thinning in male and which nutrition to take??
Does topical Saw palmetto work
Hello Doctor! What's the efficacy of the natural DHT blockers compared to finasteride? I just underwent a hair tranpslant and have made a decision to not go with finasteride in either oral/topical form. Can i preserve my non transplanted hair with the natural DHT blockers?
Natural DHT blockers orally arenabout half as affective as finasteride, depending upon the brand and the formula. If you use a topical DHT blocker along side a natural DHT blocker, you will typically average out to be as effective as finasteride again, depending upon brand and formula.
@@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist but topical finasteride is also known to go systemic and cause side-effects and things like post finasteride syndrome. Or do you mean natural topical DHT blockers?
You NEED to be concerned about losing your new transplanted hair without Fin in your system, and not just non-transplanted hair. You'll lose it all.
Would Saw Palmetto help with hair loss due to taking levothyroxine? My thyroid levels are controlled well by it, but my hair is still very thin... Would it help?
Pumpkin seeds oil or supplements with saw palmetto
Can I use your natural dht blocker before pregnancy? How much time before get pregnant I have to stop? Will my hair fell out again if I dont use it anymore?
Be careful. Your kid may come out looking like a baby werewolf.
I recently discovered your channel and find it very helpful. Thank you.
My question is im a male in my 50’s and have male pattern baldness on top, but there is still hair there, it’s vellus hair as they call it. I tried finasteride but I am very sensitive to side effects. Any ideas that don’t require me to take anything internally? Thanks.
Try microneedling
Have you seen any results in your clinical studies from men who take the natural route only and get significant results?
Don't waste your time with the natural stuff.
@@Herbie11Agree! They're all scams. The only two clinically proven products that work for hair loss are minoxadil and finasteride.
If I buy the dht blocker and foligrowth hair growth supplement, can I use them together? How should I take them so they don’t clash with each other or harm the body?
Yes, you can use both the DHT Blocker and FoliGrowth Hair Growth Supplement together, as they are designed to complement each other and target different aspects of hair health. Here’s how to use them effectively:
DHT Blocker
Purpose: This supplement is primarily focused on reducing the levels of DHT, a hormone that contributes to hair loss, especially in androgenic alopecia.
Dosage: Follow the recommended dosage on the product label, usually 1-2 capsules per day.
Timing: Take the DHT Blocker with meals, as this can enhance absorption and reduce the chance of stomach upset.
FoliGrowth Hair Growth Supplement
Purpose: This supplement provides a comprehensive blend of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that support overall hair health and growth.
Dosage: Follow the recommended dosage on the product label, usually 2-3 capsules per day.
Timing: Spread the doses throughout the day (morning and evening) to maximize nutrient absorption. It’s also best to take it with meals.
Combining Both Supplements
No Clashing Ingredients: The DHT Blocker and FoliGrowth are formulated to be taken together without any harmful interactions. They work in different ways-one focusing on hormone regulation (DHT Blocker) and the other on nutrient supply (FoliGrowth).
Routine: You can take both supplements with meals to improve absorption and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort. For instance, take the DHT Blocker with breakfast and FoliGrowth with lunch and dinner.
Hydration and Monitoring
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body process the supplements and avoid any potential side effects like dehydration.
Monitor Your Body: While these supplements are generally safe, keep an eye on how your body responds. If you experience any unusual symptoms (e.g., digestive issues, headaches), consult a healthcare provider.
By following these guidelines, you can effectively use both the DHT Blocker and FoliGrowth supplements together to support your hair growth goals.
