learn Saw Palmetto

a natural and far less effective alternative to Finasteride

Can saw palmetto be combined with minoxidil or Redensyl without losing its effectiveness? No published study has tested saw palmetto together with minoxidil or with Redensyl; the case for combining them is mechanistic and anecdotal only, and no interaction - helpful or harmful - has been measured.
Is saw palmetto as effective as finasteride against DHT? Finasteride is more effective than saw palmetto in reducing DHT levels.
Is it better to take saw palmetto in capsules or use it in lotions? The evidence does not show one form is better: the only head-to-head hair study of oral saw palmetto compared it with finasteride (and finasteride did better), the topical evidence is a single uncontrolled pilot, and there is no trial comparing capsules with lotions.
