    Glossary Dwarf palm

    small palm tree used in supplements for hair loss

    Dwarf palm, commonly known as Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens), is a small palm tree native to the southeastern United States. Its berries are often used in supplements to treat conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia, due to their potential to inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
