Saw Palmetto

Saw Palmetto helps to prevent male-like hair loss, also known as androgenic alopecia - a type of hair loss also known as male and female pattern baldness in men and women, respectively. It’s thought to work by blocking the enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) - one of the most potent androgens and is a major proponent in the masculine-presenting symptoms of PCOS which may also include acne and hirsutism.

Effect On Slowing Down 5-Alpha Reductase (A Key Component In DHT Production): PMID (23843810)

Research & evidence gleaned by Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine indicates that LSESr, the lipido-sterolic extract of saw palmetto, blocks 5-alpha reductase. This enzyme converts testosterone into a potent androgen hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Androgen hormones are responsible for male-like characteristics such as hair growth, acne and male-pattern baldness.
