"I’ve noticed a significant change in my hair growth on my face and a big change in my hair too!"
Enise D, Verified buyerSaw Palmetto
Hair thinning is a common and frustrating symptom of PCOS.
Saw Palmetto helps reduce the conversion of testosterone into DHT, a hormone linked to thinning, increased shedding, and reduced hair density.
For women with PCOS, where this pathway can be more active, it offers targeted support for managing these changes as part of everyday PCOS management.
Saw Palmetto is a plant extract that helps reduce how much testosterone is converted into DHT, a stronger hormone that can affect the hair and scalp over time.
Higher levels of DHT are linked to common symptoms like hair thinning, increased shedding, and changes in hair density. By lowering DHT, Saw Palmetto helps reduce the impact these hormones can have on the hair.

Saw Palmetto has been studied for its role in androgen-related hair thinning, particularly through its effect on DHT pathways, which are commonly involved in PCOS.
In a systematic review, improvements in hair quality were reported in up to 60% of participants, with increases in hair density seen in up to 83% of cases, along with reduced shedding.
These findings suggest Saw Palmetto may offer supportive benefits for those managing hormone-related hair concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this increase my testosterone?
No. Saw Palmetto does not increase testosterone. It helps reduce the amount converted into DHT, a hormone linked to hair thinning.
How does this help with PCOS-related hair thinning?
For many women with PCOS, higher androgen levels can contribute to thinning hair and shedding. Saw Palmetto helps lower DHT, which may reduce this impact over time.
How long does it take to see changes?
Hair changes take time. Consistent use over several weeks or months is usually needed to support hair health and reduce ongoing thinning.
Can I take this with other supplements or medications?
If you are taking hormonal contraceptives or other medications, speak with your healthcare provider before use.
Why do many Saw Palmetto labels mention benefits for men only?
Saw Palmetto has often been marketed for men, though the pathway it works on is also relevant for women with PCOS and hair thinning.
