Zinc can increase Testosterone levels, lower DHT levels and particularly, for men, help to slow down male pattern baldness. DHT stands for Dihydrotestosterone. It’s a hormone produced in the skin, liver and testes. It’s responsible for developing male characteristics - maturation of the penis and scrotum at puberty, growth of facial, body and pubic hair, and development and maintenance of the prostate gland and seminal vesicles. High or excessive DHT levels are not the sole cause of hair loss. It’s actually hair follicle DHT sensitivity. In Genetically pre-disposed guys in certain areas on the scalp, their hair follicles are more sensitive to the effects of DHT DHT is present in both men and women, but DHT related hair loss, otherwise known Androgenic Alopecia or pattern baldness affects much more men than women. When flowing around your blood stream DHT attaches itself to genetically susceptible hair follicles and shrinks them. This is called miniaturization. And it gradually kills the hair follicle so that hair no longer grows there.
