Hair loss is common among bodybuilders because they produce a highly active androgen known as testosterone. Dedication to an intense workout regimen common to weightlifters can cause the overproduction of testosterone, which then leads to a byproduct known as dihydrotestosterone (DHT). When testosterone is converted to DHT, it goes directly to the hair follicles and binds to the receptors, disrupting the hair follicles' normal functions and restricting them from producing strong and healthy hair. DHT also contributes to hair loss by inhibiting proper intake of vitamins, nutrients, minerals, proteins, and antioxidants, making the hair you do have much shorter, weaker, and more brittle. Any serious workout regimen that doesn't also include a diet loaded with vitamins and nutrients can contribute to any hair loss caused by excess testosterone. The hormonal changes that occur due to testosterone production can also lead to increased acne – but RU-58841 can help.
