Saw Palmetto For Hair Loss

I would definitely recommend trying Finasteride before taking saw palmetto. I wish I could take finasteride, but sides were too much. However, saw palmetto so far has stabilized my hair loss and surprisingly I did not get any sides (don't have any explanation). I have been using saw palmetto for 8 months. If you are planning to try one, please this is very important: use STANDARDIZED saw palmetto (160 mg x 2 per day), which were used in study. Wish you all best of luck.

[@Snipercontest]

what do you mean STANDARDIZED ? do you have any brand recommendation? and after how many months you saw results?

[@Justin-vg4kw]

@@Snipercontest Standardized (85%+ fatty acids) can be available in various brands (see ingredient details) depends on your country. It indicates that there is high amount of extraction compare to regular ones. The ones you see in market with 500 mg+ are likely not standardized (and you have to take lots of them to get any benefit). I have not seen any significant gains. It stabilized my hairloss which in itself is good result for me. I used to shed significantly in shower, pillow and other places. After taking this for few months, I do not see much hairloss anywhere. Again, I wish I could take finasteride (lowering dose did not help), but this is still better than nothing. Response may vary from person to person.

According to one review, saw palmetto may help block the uptake of DHT and decrease its ability to bind to androgen receptors by nearly 50%. In turn, this may help regulate testosterone levels (3Trusted Source). One 14-day study also noted that taking 1,200 mg per day of Resettin - a supplement made with saw palmetto and astaxanthin, a type of antioxidant found in algae - increased serum testosterone levels by 38% compared with a placebo (17Trusted Source). Furthermore, a study in rats showed that saw palmetto increased testosterone synthesis, muscle endurance, and sperm count by altering hormone regulation (18Trusted Source). SUMMARY Test-tube, human, and animal studies show that saw palmetto could help regulate testosterone levels by decreasing the activity of an enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT.

I took it for about 7 months and it had good results, but not very significant. It slowed hair loss, but definitely did not stop it. I think maybe I should have continued it for about a year. However, I did have a loss of libido. Quite surprisingly, the quality of the sperm increased as well. After I left it I had some pain in my pectoris major muscle and I'm not sure why. Unfortunately, we do not have any studies on it and I would say that 320 mg/daily after a while becomes too much. Maybe people can take 320 mg daily for 6 months and then switch to 160 daily and increase accordingly if they don't see their desired effects. Maybe 160/2x day sort of spreads its possible efficacy better and safer, we just do not know. I'm taking Finasteride (0.25 mg daily) and I wonder if I can add 160 mg of saw palmetto to it, since I know it worked on me, so maybe I can increase the efficacy of blocking DHT without the nasty sides. I think it's worth a shot for people to try it and maybe combine it with Finasteride as well. The worst that can happen is that there won't be any contribution of Saw Palmetto.

You would have to do some research to see if saw palmetto is metabolized by the same liver enzymes as finasteride is such that the competing medications would make finasteride levels go up or down in the blood. Even so, it would likely add little value as compared to adding a growth stimulant to your finasteride regimen such as minoxidil, stemoxydine, laser cap etc. Taking multiple medications that work through almost the exact same mechanism will have little benefit as diversifying your attack against hair loss.

Hey Doc! I have a question! If side effects wouldnt exist, what would be more effective to get regrowth on my temples/hairline. 1: 2,5mg oral minoxidil daily or 2: microneedling+topical minoxidil

[@RandomGuy-hv7tb]

1 and 5mg finastride both will be equally effective you can decrease your dose even to 0.5mg and 0.25mg if you feel the side effects. But i don't know much about minoxidil, i had never tried it or i Don't need

I am taking finasteride. does it make sense to supplement saw palmetto? I take 560 mg in the morning and 560 mg in the evening. Can I increase the dose to 2g a day? Do you let go completely?

[@sccroobyj4024]

I had an insane reaction to saw palmetto. I hadn't really shed much at the front, but as you do, you agonise over what you think is getting worse. So I decided I'd take it over getting propecia because I didn't want to take drugs. Within 6-8 weeks my libido crashed, I started having crazy thick black hair come in through my jaw line and worst of all, suddenly my hair thins out massively at the back. Before taking it I had no loss there at all. I panicked and immediately stopped. In the years since, it took 18 months before my libido recovered, the thick black beard hair quickly stopped and the hair at the back never grew back, strangely enough the hair loss there has never gotten worse.

Than You so much for this video! My question is: as it is commonly prescribed by urologists to reduce synthoms of prostatic hipertrophy, it seems having a study behind, specifically in the only one approved drug with the name of PERMIXON ®. I know it is a hard question to receive a "scientific" answer, but.. what about increasing the dose? More is not necessairy better, I know, but if Finasteride 1 mg blocks 70% of dht conversion and saw palmetto (theorically) blocks 40%, why do not try a 320 x 2 mg of Saw Palmetto? Thank You!

Best thing to do is go straight to the FDA approved medications. Even if you get side effects, stop them and in 99.9% of people all of the side effects will go away - but at least you'll know that you tried. The earlier you start, the better result you're going to have long term with hair preservation and hair transplants to supplement your native hair.
