Saw Palmetto

Use saw palmetto for hair loss to possibly block the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme from converting testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This natural process is thought to contribute to androgenic alopecia, because dihydrotestosterone is believed to trigger the onset of balding and worsen it once it begins.

Many hair loss sufferers use saw palmetto for hair loss in place of Propecia due to Propecia's possible side effects.
