ow To Increase DHT For Muscle & Beard Growth and Androgen Receptors Density


You need both high Testosterone and DHT.
DHT stands for DiHydroTestosterone.
It’s produced from testosterone, through an enzyme called 5-Alpha Reductase. So the more 5a-Reductase enzyme you have, the more of your testosterone gets converted to DHT - which is also a male androgen.

DHT reuptake Androgen Receptors and decreases Estradiol

The primary androgen/male hormone on skeletal muscle is testosterone, not DHT… And this is because DHT gets quickly deactivated at the muscle receptor by another enzyme called 3aHSD (3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase)1-3 So, increasing your DHT will do nothing for increasing muscle size.

It will increase strength because it stimulates your Central Nervous System (CNS)
It will also make your muscles “harder” because it lowers estrogen levels.1-3
However, what DHT will do is increase body hair growth -- including facial hair and beard. But keep in mind that it will also accelerate hair loss if that’s part of your genetics.

But if you still want to increase your DHT, you’ll need to ultimately increase your testosterone because the more testosterone you have, the more there is to “convert” to DHT. The rest is controlled by your genetics.
Also, aging decreases your 5a-reductase enzyme and thus, the older you get the higher your DHT levels. But unfortunately, the lower your testosterone.
