Androgenetic alopecia causes 95% of all male pattern hair loss and results from the action of the potent hormone, dihydrotestosterone DHT, which affects hair follicles in men genetically predisposed to pattern baldness.

Receptors on hair follicles allow DHT to attach itself, which then shrinks the follicle and prevents it from producing more hair.

Benefits of Green Tea Extract for Hair Loss

The key benefits of green tea extract for hair loss has been shown to have an inhibiting effect on 5-alpha reductase which, in turn, blocks the production of the hair loss causing hormone, dihydrotestosterone DHT.

Inhibiting 5-alpha reductase from producing DHT dihydrotestosterone is the key role of the most popular hair loss drug, Propecia.

Testosterone is converted into dihydrotestosterone DHT by 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme found in skin cells and hair follicles which is produced in the prostate gland, adrenal glands, and the scalp.

High intake of green tea extract has also been associated with higher levels of sex hormone binding globulin (SBHG). SBHG is a molecule that binds with high affinity to testosterone. Testosterone bound to SBHG is not biologically active and cannot be converted into DHT dihydrotestosterone.

The above green tea benefits of green tea extract for hair loss may explain its success as a natural herbal remedy for hair loss. Green tea hair loss treatment may even prove to be an effective herbal alternative to finasteride Propecia for blocking DHT production.
