Saw Palmetto Extract

Saw palmetto is a plant extract commonly found in supplements and hair loss remedies, and is traditionally used in Western Herbal Medicine. There isn't a huge amount of studies behind its benefits but here’s what some clinical studies suggest..

Saw palmetto works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is testosterone's most potent form. This simply means, taken as a supplement, saw palmetto may support hormonal balance by modulating the activity of testosterone and its metabolites, which can influence skin and hair health.
