Stress does not cause hair loss-it simply makes a
bad situation worse. Telogen effluvium, for example,
occurs after an insult to the system. The most
common cause is pregnancy. This can result in
extensive and worrisome hair loss in women in the
first few months after the birth of a baby. It is,
however, temporary and returns completely.

What is DHT and how does It cause hair
loss?

DHT stands for dihydrotestosterone. This is the
active form of the male hormone testosterone. It
has been suggested that high DHT levels in
genetically predisposed hair follicles initiate baldness.
It is this chemical conversion from testosterone to
dihydrotestosterone that is blocked by saw palmetto,
which is the active ingredient in Biostim. Biostim
blocks the formation of active testosterone and
allows those hairs predisposed to inactivity to
become active again and make new hairs.

There is an answer in most cases with early treatment.
