Oral Dutasteride 0.5mg

A once-daily oral DHT blocker that blocks DHT more thoroughly than finasteride, for stronger, more complete DHT reduction.
description

A more thorough approach to the same root cause, on its own or paired with a topical for a more complete plan.
Best For Men who want our most thorough oral DHT reduction, at any stage of hair loss, on its own or alongside a topical.

03
Can be paired with minoxidil to combine stronger DHT control with active regrowth support.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to see results with Adegen?
Adegen starts working from day one, but visible results take time and consistency. Most people begin to notice changes around 90 days, and results continue to improve over the months and even years that follow.
How is Adegen different?
Adegen is not a basic hair loss product. It is a prescription-grade system designed to target the key drivers of follicle weakening, including poor circulation, DHT activity, and inefficient follicular delivery. Powered by 15% micronized minoxidil, ARB technology, dutasteride, caffeine, tretinoin, and more, Adegen delivers a more comprehensive approach than conventional hair loss treatments.
Will I need to use Adegen long term?
Hair loss is an ongoing biological process, so maintaining results requires consistent care, much like diet, exercise, or oral health. Continued use of Adegen helps support circulation, follicle health, and the natural hair growth cycle, making it a simple part of your long-term hair maintenance routine.
Does Adegen work before or after a hair transplant?
A hair transplant moves existing follicles but doesn't stop the hair loss underneath, so results often fade without treating the root cause. That's why we recommend the full Adegen system first, usually three to six months. It strengthens your follicles for a better result with fewer grafts, and some people find they need fewer than planned, or no transplant at all. Watch John, who had a transplant himself, explain why.
Is Adegen safe and are there side effects?
Much of the fear around hair loss treatment online is louder than the evidence supports. Our topical system works at the scalp, and our oral options are prescription medications reviewed by a licensed physician who walks you through the real risks and benefits for your situation. Most people tolerate treatment well, and your physician can tailor your plan if any concerns come up. For men who want added peace of mind, we also offer daily tadalafil to support circulation and sexual health. Watch John break down what the research actually says.
Can women use Adegen?
Yes, and many do. Women's hair loss often traces to the same root cause as men's: restricted blood flow to the follicle. Many women see excellent results, and our HairIQ assessment builds a protocol suited specifically to them. We've helped women from their twenties into their eighties. Watch John explain why Adegen works so well for women.
