Is it bad to take a dht blocker during puberty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unknown: This hasn't been studied, to my knowledge, but i'd guess Dht is pretty important during puberty, so it's probably not a good idea to block it during that critical phase. Personally, i wouldn't take the chance. And why would you want to do it anyway?

Revivogen is a topical DHT blocker and is formulated to not be systemically absorbed so there are no "post fin" side effects. What's your opinion?
