Discussion Questions about 5ar?

[yokeaton!!]

I posted this on .org, but got a lot of hate for no reason????? So I’m posting this here, since I find the people on this forum to be a lot more reasonable.

I’m currently writing a super deep dive thread on 5 alpha reductase, and it’s incredibly comprehensive. This has information that took hours of digging just to get a glimpse of. Real obscure information that some might find interesting. I figured since I haven’t even finished writing my rough draft, I should probably ask yall if you had any questions about 5ar that you would like an answer to, so I can add more substance and utility to my thread.

All information in my upcoming thread will have sources and citations. I will avoid any if not all anecdotal evidence. My information will come from reputable sources and be scientifically backed. It will include some personal theories about the data, but those will have their own section at the end. Quality is the highest priority.

If you have any negative comments, pls don’t be like the primates on .org and keep them to yourself

Literally I don’t know? Dude started yapping about how DHT and 5ar cause balding and that I’m a r****d for writing a thread about them…

Which makes zero sense cause modern research shows that DHT is not the CAUSE of balding and all that, it’s an active player, but the circumstances that cause it to affect your hair can be entirely avoided and treated.

5ar = more DHT = more gainz

Clear and simple

I’m a woman so I don’t need dihydrotestosterone at all but…
Do you agree with my statement that dihydrotestosterone and an increased activity of 5-Alpha-Reductase is a bit pointless after the age of 21 for men?
Dihydrotestosterone in general is important for men during adolescence because it promotes dimorphism and the sexual development of the endocrine system and characteristics but after the male body has developed it causes problems in the future such as an enlarged prostrate.

First of all, the enlarged prostate myth has been debunked, and is largely caused by an imbalance of hormones or excess of estrogen. DHT is more than just a hormone that stimulates male versus female development. It is an anabolic steroid, and is also responsible for increased “male” traits. This goes for all men of all ages. Thicker and darker hair, bigger muscles + faster gains, denser bone structure, etc. For those looking to optimize sexual health, this also leads to larger and more consistent erections, as well as better performance and larger ejaculations. Anabolic steroids and DHT/Testosterone in particular also boost a man’s energy levels. Many men (such as my father) are prescribed testosterone in their old age to maintain function. To largely simplify things, DHT does what Testosterone does… only more so. In other words, if Testosterone is needed to maintain function as a male, wouldn’t you want to maximize the amount of it, and maximize the effects of it? if the answer is yes, then you would want to maximize your DHT especially, since it’s essentially a more potent version.

EDIT: I should also mention that that explanation is WAY oversimplified. DHT and Testosterone also have their own unique applications and uses in the body besides just the anabolic and male hormone responses. The same goes for 5ar, it doesn’t just make DHT, it does a few other things too, so keep that in mind.
