Research Efficacy Snapshot

Published efficacy percentages cited in PubMed trials and named-expert reports about DHT. Each line links to the original source.

  • "Results showed most studies (n = 104, 74.3%) employed the standard two-arm parallel RCT design, with usual/standard care as the preferred comparator in nearly half (n = 65, 47.1%) of all included studies." ยท Gityamwi N et al, 2025 PubMed
  • "Of the 104 comparative studies reviewed, limitations in recruitment were most frequently reported (n = 70, 37%), followed by limitations in evaluation/measurement techniques (n = 57, 27%), presence of confounding factors (n = 50, 24%) and short duration of studies (n = 24, 11%)." ยท Gityamwi N et al, 2025 PubMed
  • "In the experiment with [16,16,17-2H3]-DHT within 24 hours about 44% of the applied dose was recovered after hydrolysis with beta-glucuronidase from E." ยท Donike M et al, 1995 PubMed
  • "coli as di- or tri-deuterated 5 alpha-androstane glucuronides: androsterone (33.2%), 5 alpha-androsta-ne-3 alpha,17 beta-diol (2.5%), 5 alpha-androstane-3 beta, 17 beta-diol (0.9%), DHT (7.2%)." ยท Donike M et al, 1995 PubMed
  • "Hydrolysis with beta-glucuronidase/arylsulfatase from Helix Pomatia resulted in a about 10% higher yield except for DHT." ยท Donike M et al, 1995 PubMed
  • "DHT actually increased by 56% during that loading phase and actually remained 40% above baseline during maintenance." ยท speaker_0 on "Stop Calling Creatine Harmless! (You Must Know This)" @ 3:40
