Cholesterol – The Double Edged Sword

chris

Any way you look at it, cholesterol is bound and determined to be the nemesis of men (and women!) in terms of both cardiovascular disease and hair loss. By this point in time everyone knows that reducing cholesterol levels in the bloodstream significantly reduces the risk of heart attacks. That’s a widely publicized fact.

However, many people are not aware of the fact that cholesterol can also be indirectly linked to many types of hair loss. Although the ultimate culprit is DHT (dihydrotestosterone), cholesterol is a major player. Cholesterol is converted to the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase, which in turn converts free testosterone in the bloodstream to DHT.

Perhaps taking proactive measures to reduce cholesterol in the bloodstream will keep you heart healthy, prostate healthy and walking around with a full head of hair! Who knows if someday a medication developed as a preventative measure from heart attacks might not also be the ultimate cure for Pattern Baldness? Stranger things have happened!
