Does DHT have a sweet spot?

[rhino5169]

So, there are sweet spots for things like testosterone, E2, lipids, etc.

Is there a sweet spot for DHT, besides the range the lab lists?
Is there such a thing as DHT being too high (if all lab work is good)?

Great question. High enough for the benefits but not high enough to where you get hair loss and prostate enlargement. I wish i knew !
i would think that by getting free and total t in upper range of normal but getting dht in low normal would be optimal.
many guys do this with low dose finasteride every other day.

Hairloss is far more abot genetics than ever has been about DHT though its been thoroughly demonized by big Pharma, and it's pretty well moving forward that Prostate issues are Estrogen and less about DHT, too.

That's how I understand it also

I'm still trying to figure all this out. So many moving parts
I have a follow up question about E2 but I may start another thread.

I've only had my DHT tested once and it was not high. I do have a strong libido though and hair loss.

Nothing has a sweet spot unless everything in this formula is constant:

"Sweet Spot"= Good sleep+ Adequate T + Adequate E2 + Adequate DHT + Low Prolactin + Adequate free T3 + taking meds with low side effects + stress management + regular exercise+ sexual attraction + lack of abuse of alcohol/street drugs + many more

Right there's no linear constant to any of this that says you'll do well with anything.
