HelloPharmacist Scorecard of DHT Inhibitor by Nutrafol Men
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Nutrafol Men contains four active ingredients. Nettle root extract is included for its traditional use in men's health; reishi mushroom fruit extract is added for general wellness; magnolia tree bark extract is included for its potential calming properties; and African Cherry Tree Bark Extract rounds out the formula.
The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — cellulose, rice husk, and rice extract blend — which are fillers and binders that help hold the capsule together.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for these ingredients in this product is mixed and limited. Nettle root is possibly effective for diabetes, though the data we hold doesn't establish it for other uses in this formula.
Magnolia bark is possibly effective for gingivitis (gum inflammation) when applied topically, but we have insufficient evidence to rate it for the other conditions listed. Reishi mushroom appears possibly ineffective for lowering cholesterol and has insufficient evidence for altitude sickness, Alzheimer's disease, and athletic performance.
The effectiveness of this combination for DHT inhibition and male pattern hair loss is not established in the data we hold.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Nettle root is generally well tolerated when taken as directed, though constipation and diarrhea have been reported. Rare cases of liver injury have been documented.
Reishi mushroom is generally well tolerated short-term, with dizziness, dry mouth, itching, nausea, rash, and stomach upset reported most commonly; long-term safety is not well studied. Magnolia bark appears well tolerated, though contact dermatitis can occur with topical exposure, and isolated reports in clinical trials mention sexual dysfunction, tremor, and fatigue — though causation is unclear.
Nettle root is rated likely unsafe in pregnancy and should be avoided; safety during breastfeeding has not been established. Both reishi mushroom and magnolia are rated unsafe or best avoided in pregnancy and lactation due to insufficient safety data.
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor before taking this product.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Nutrafol Men, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners (warfarin and similar anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs), diabetes medications, blood pressure medications, diuretics (water pills), lithium, or sedating drugs like sleep aids or anti-anxiety medications. No interactions are documented for African Cherry Tree Bark Extract, as we hold no data for that ingredient.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Nutrafol Men may be worth considering if you're looking to support hair health and don't take blood thinners, diabetes medications, blood pressure drugs, sedatives, or lithium. If you do take any of those medications — or any prescription at all — check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting, since the interactions are real and may affect how your drugs work.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding are contraindications; discuss safety with your healthcare provider in those situations.

DHT Inhibitor by Nutrafol Men Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Nutrafol Men's DHT Inhibitor contains four ingredients, and through its nettle root extract, reishi mushroom fruit extract, and magnolia tree bark extract, it has documented interactions with multiple medication types.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners (anticoagulants) like warfarin — nettle root contains vitamin K, which may reduce warfarin's effectiveness, while both reishi mushroom and magnolia may increase bleeding risk at higher doses.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Nettle root also interacts with diabetes medications and diuretic drugs (water pills), where it may have additive effects and lower blood sugar or increase fluid loss beyond what the medication alone would cause. It may also reduce how your body clears lithium, a mood stabilizer, potentially raising its levels.
Reishi mushroom similarly affects diabetes medications and adds theoretical risk with blood pressure medications — it may lower blood pressure further, causing dizziness or weakness. Magnolia bark may intensify the effects of sedating drugs like sleep aids, anti-anxiety medications, and opioids when used in large doses.
We could not check African Cherry Tree Bark Extract for interactions. Altogether, these interactions span 610 individual medications.
If you take any of these drug types — blood thinners, diabetes or blood pressure medications, diuretics, lithium, sedatives, or pain relievers — run your exact medications through the checker below before starting this product.

For each ingredient in DHT Inhibitor with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Reishi Mushroom Fruit Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, high doses of reishi mushroom might increase the risk of bleeding.
A dose of 1.5 grams daily of reishi mushroom does not seem to decrease platelet aggregation, but a higher dose of 3 grams daily does.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, reishi mushroom might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that reishi mushroom decreases blood sugar. However, in patients with type 2 diabetes, taking reishi mushroom does not reduce fasting glucose levels, and its effects on glycated hemoglobin are inconsistent.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, concurrent use of reishi mushroom with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Reishi mushroom has shown hypotensive activity in animal research. Clinical evidence suggests that reishi mushroom reduces blood pressure in some, but not all, patients with hypertension.
Magnolia Tree Bark Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, magnolia might have additive effects and increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that the chemicals magnolol and honokiol, isolated from magnolia bark, inhibit platelet aggregation that is experimentally induced by collagen and arachidonic acid. However, they do not inhibit platelet aggregation that is induced by adenosine diphosphate, platelet-activating factor, or thrombin. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, concomitant use of large doses of magnolia bark and CNS depressants might have additive effects.
In vitro and animal research shows that constituents extracted from magnolia bark, especially honokiol and magnolol, have sedative effects. These effects may be due to the inhibition of catecholamine release and modulation of gamma-aminobutyric acid-A (GABA-A) receptors.
Nettle root extract
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, stinging nettle might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs.
Clinical research shows that stinging nettle might decrease blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes.
Diuretic Drugs
Theoretically, combining stinging nettle with diuretic drugs may have additive effects.
Animal research suggests that the above ground parts and roots of stinging nettle may have a diuretic effect.
Lithium
Theoretically, stinging nettle might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that stinging nettle has diuretic and natriuretic properties, which could alter the excretion of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
There is some concern that stinging nettle might decrease the effects of anticoagulant drugs such as warfarin.
Stinging nettle contains a significant amount of vitamin K. When taken in large quantities, this might interfere with the activity of warfarin.
