How Dutamax Lotion works
Conversion of a hormone called testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by the enzyme 5-α-reductase is responsible for thinning of scalp hair and hair loss. Dutamax Lotion suppresses the conversion of testosterone into DHT by blocking an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. Suppressed formation of DHT leads to reduction in additional hair loss.
