Take Saw Palmetto supplement

Take 320mg of saw palmetto extract daily with food. Look for supplements standardized to 85-95% fatty acids and sterols for consistent potency.

Why It Works

Saw palmetto is a natural 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that may reduce DHT levels, similar in mechanism to finasteride but milder. A few small studies have shown modest improvements in hair density, though evidence is weaker than for prescription options.

Tips

• Not a replacement for finasteride if significant hair loss is occurring
• Generally well-tolerated with few side effects
• Allow 3-6 months of consistent use before evaluating results
