DHT is 2.5-10 times more potent than testosterone

Well if your wife is pregnant she absolutely can't come into contact with finasteride or the baby boy could have genital birth defects, that's from the official Merck instructions.

lol @ acting like people don't know that DHT is extremely important during puberty and early adulthood. I wouldn't recommend anyone under 25 take fin tbh, but people do, and they're mostly fine.

Also lol @ acting like fin entirely nukes DHT. It lowers it by 60 to 70 percent from what I remember.

You don't take fin and then grow a vagina. There are millions of men who are prescribed the 5mg/day dose for prostate issues and sides are rare. Taking 1mg/eod for male pattern baldness causes no issues at all in the large majority of men.

But even still, I would accept sides up until a certain point because having hair is worth it. You can't ignore reality and act like hair and aesthetics aren't extremely important. It's not even just how women treat you. Baldcels (unless you have money/status) are looked down upon by everyone. It is subconscious.

So many bitter baldcels around these days. Slap head cope is almost as bad as mutilated dick cope.

The baby boy will probably never be able to have sex in his life, serious, the consequences are severe.

Btw, finasteride does MUCH more than just blocking DHT.

Still, like many things, there is too much of a good thing. Tons of DHT does you no benefit and embaldens you in the long run.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

DHT actually gives you that "alpha" feeling/mood, srs. When I have elevated DHT levels I care way less about my balding funnily enough. Hormone of the gods if your follicles are not sensitive.

You can have the highest DHT levels in the world but as long as your hair follicles aren't genetically sensitive to it, you can still be a Norwood 0. Why is this so hard for you plebs to understand?

I don’t care you dumb cocksucker.
I don’t care about balding or peak superhuman athletic performance.
I already said that in this thread. Read it

Dht has been proven to be a very weak anabolic agent. If you have bad hair genetics you have to minimize dht to prevent hair loss. Or lose hair.

Can confirm, since I started injecting pure DHT into my scrotum my lifts have increased 350%

OP makes a good point that DHT is the driver of strength. DHT coupled with the epidermal growth factor receptor. This can cause strength increases in as little as 30 minutes, whereas androgen receptor changes take days. DHT + EGF-R makes fast twitch fibers. Testosterone appears to make slow twitch and not actually increase force. But I'd guess the shear addition of a lot of slow switch fibers accounts for people gaining strength with lots of testosterone (in addition to DHT gains)

It is generally believed that steroid hormones have both genomic and non‐genomic (rapid) actions. Although the latter form an important component of the physiological response of these hormones, little is known about the cellular signalling pathway(s) mediating these effects and their physiological functions in adult mammalian skeletal muscle fibres. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to investigate the non‐genomic actions of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and their physiological role in isolated intact mammalian skeletal muscle fibre bundles. Our results show that treating the fibre bundles with physiological concentrations of DHT increases both twitch and tetanic contractions in fast twitch fibres. However, it decreases them in slow twitch fibres. These changes in force are accompanied by an increase in the phosphorylation of MAPK/ERK1/2 in both fibre types and that of regulatory myosin light chains in fast twitch fibres. Both effects were insensitive to inhibitors of Src kinase, androgen receptor, insulin‐like growth factor 1 receptor and platelet‐derived growth factor receptor. However, they were abolished by the MAPK/ERK1/2 kinase inhibitor PD98059 and the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor inhibitor tyrphostin AG 1478. In contrast, testosterone had no effect on force and increased the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in slow twitch fibres only. From these results we conclude that sex steroids have non‐genomic actions in isolated intact mammalian skeletal muscle fibres. These are mediated through the EGF receptor and one of their main physiological functions is the enhancement of force production in fast twitch skeletal muscle fibres.

Also something to consider is are we talking about serum DHT (ie reduced testosterone) or are we talking about testosterone that has been taken into the cell and reduced locally? Most DHT is local, which is why you get some people with "high DHT" but low balding. Science is having a hard time figuring out DHT because its happening in tissue specific areas and the regulation of 5-a-r isn't well known.
