Botanicals and DHT Pathways

Peer-reviewed studies have examined whether liposterolic extracts of saw palmetto, nettle root and pumpkin seed oil may influence the 5-alpha-reductase pathway, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Findings vary by extract, dose and study design. This summary relates to the ingredients, not the finished product.

Behind the Ingredients

Saw Palmetto Extract

What studies look at

Packed with fatty acids and phytosterols, saw palmetto naturally lowers DHT by blocking 5α-reductase and calming androgen activity at the follicle level.

Reported outcomes in studies

Both lab and clinical studies show that saw palmetto helps increase hair density by reducing DHT’s impact on follicles.

Nettle Root

What studies look at

Nettle root fights inflammation and blocks 5α-reductase (especially type II, like finasteride). It also reduces scalp cytokines linked to hair loss.

Reported outcomes in studies

Lab studies confirm nettle’s ability to inhibit DHT, with traditional use in other DHT-related conditions for added credibility.

Pumpkin Seed Oil

What studies look at

Rich in phytosterols (especially β-sitosterol), pumpkin seed oil helps block the enzyme 5α-reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone to DHT—the main culprit behind hair follicle shrinkage and thinning.

Reported outcomes in studies

A gold-standard clinical trial showed a 40% increase in hair count for men supplementing with pumpkin seed oil, compared to just 10% for placebo.

Rosemary Essential Oil

What studies look at

Rosemary oil boosts scalp circulation and calms inflammation, creating a healthy environment for hair growth. Its actives also help protect follicles from hormonal stress.

Reported outcomes in studies

In a head-to-head clinical study, rosemary oil was as effective as 2% minoxidil after 6 months—but with fewer side effects.

Peppermint Essential Oil

What studies look at

Peppermint oil stimulates microcirculation and wakes up dormant follicles, encouraging the active (anagen) growth phase.

Reported outcomes in studies

Animal studies show peppermint oil outperformed minoxidil in increasing follicle number and depth—without the side effects.

Castor Oil

What studies look at

Rich in ricinoleic acid, castor oil improves scalp blood flow and helps other actives penetrate deep into the follicles for maximum effect.

Reported outcomes in studies

While large clinical studies are pending, castor oil is a proven enhancer and stimulant in dermatology.

Jojoba Oil

What studies look at

Mimics your skin’s natural sebum to balance and protect the scalp, dissolving buildup that can block new growth.

Reported outcomes in studies

Jojoba is clinically shown to help maintain scalp homeostasis and may reduce oxidative stress when used with other botanicals.

Cedarwood Essential Oil

What studies look at

Cedarwood’s antifungal and antiseptic properties support scalp health, balance oil production, and work synergistically with rosemary and lavender for best results.

Reported outcomes in studies

A study using a blend with cedarwood showed visible improvement in alopecia areata after 7 months.

Black Seed Oil

What studies look at

Thymoquinone in black seed oil delivers potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, protecting follicles from stress and supporting healthy regrowth.

Reported outcomes in studies

A 2021 clinical study found that topical black seed oil improved hair density and thickness through key growth pathways.

Vitamin E

What studies look at

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that shields scalp cells from oxidative damage and supports healthy blood flow to the roots.

Reported outcomes in studies

A clinical study found volunteers taking tocotrienols (a form of vitamin E) saw significant improvements in hair count.
