Phyllotex is a supplement that promotes natural hair growth for both men and women, whereas Finasteride is a remedy that only deals with male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). It works by targeting the underlying hormonal factors responsible for hair loss. It blocks the enzyme that changes testosterone (the primary male hormone) into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). High levels of DHT can cause hair follicles to shrink, resulting in hair loss, especially for men with a genetic tendency towards baldness.
