super clear and very helpful explanation based on facts. Big thank you!

[gravityclarity]

Thank you for breaking the studies down.

Four months is not long enough for saw palmetto in the second study to show a benefit. Also topical saw palmetto may not have have a systemic effect on DHT, but may have a local effect at blocking and reducing DHT at the scalp level.

Even with finasteride people say you need to wait a minimum of 6 to 12 months to see results, so waiting for months is just not adequate.

Trying to regrow your hair from thinning is a pain and takes too long

[thesloveniaboy]

16 weeks? That’s not even 3 months… c’mon man… the study should last at least 6 months or 1 year…

[chimkinNuggz]

I like how you yourself test shit. I wish their was more doctors like this.

[eram]

I think it's not a 29% decrease. You have to divide 1/1.29 = 0.78, so this is only an about 22% reduction in DHT levels.

I don’t understand the mechanism behind catch up hair loss after quitting finasteride. Like why is it that after say 10 years of finasteride, you suddenly lose the hair you would have lost over those 10 years within a year or 2

[ezemack]

My take on most videos like this one. They down play Saw Palmetto to promote drugs. Saw Palmetto is natural so
I will try it damn the drugs.

[zodel]

yeah but keep in mind most guys dont do full dose of fin and have great results which might make saw palmetto abetter choice.

[glaubersenarega]

This video is kinda bias. For some reason, you forgot to mention that in the second study oral Saw Palmetto reduced hairfall by up to 29%.

[lilg]

Which pharamceutical company or researchers would have any serious interest in studying Saw Palmetto? You cannot earn money with it. That's the problem.

I take saw palmetto for hair loss and its working for me. I have a video on my channel about the side effects that I experienced, good and bad.

[fvallo]

please do a video about minoxidil skin aging and dark circles, is it a myth?

[bluelightwhitelight-bt]

How much per dose? was it 320 mg? you didn't say

[DanielHanf-hi]

Theres powders, liquids, tablets, capsules, all with varying claims of purity and strength.Overwhelming for a new user entering the palmetto market.

Hi
Since Saw palmetto inhibits type 1, may it be able to help against the type 1 5 a enyzme, produced in the sweat glanse? Finasteride worked for me but I am still losing ground, feeling scalp itch especially after sweating

[hmdwn]

Saw another Dr video that... for Saw Palmetto to be the slightest bit effective on the hair you would basically have to take much of it that it would make you sick. Basically overdoes in the stuff.

[JustAChillGuy-]

would taking both, fin and SP be overkill or actually work complementary? Just got fin prescriped a day ago and ended up here. Hope someone could answer my question, thanks in advance
