Hello. Hair loss is related to two factors. The first one is genetics and the other one is high levels of androgen. Saw Palmetto acts like anti-androgen. It blocks 5 alpha-reductase – it is an important enzyme for converting testosterone into DHT – an active form of testosterone. Many people use this herb for benign prostate hyperplasia. You should try with this herb. Perhaps, it will help you. I would like to hear your experience. I hope it will help. Good luck!
