Finasteride and DHT. What's the deal with it? So much conflicting information.
I've only just begun to research DHT and what exactly it does in each area of the body. They say that finasteride, which lowers DHT, is safe in the long term, but it has only been used widely since 1998 (for hair loss). Studies I've seen indicate that lack of DHT lowers cognitive spatial abilities, memory, and can cause alzheimers to onset earlier. Does excess testosterone possibly make up for this?
That's just one example. I want to know the full consequences of lowering DHT levels in a male long term. If anyone has good info on the subject I would appreciate if you could lead me in the right direction.
