The user tried various treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, vitamins, Saw Palmetto, beta sitosterol, pumpkin oil, borage oil, stinging nettle, and emu oil. They recently noticed tiny black hairs, suggesting some improvement.
community Topical Saw Palmetto: An Alternative to Microdosing Topical Finasteride?
The user is exploring topical Saw Palmetto as a milder alternative to microdosing topical Finasteride for hair loss, aiming to minimize systemic DHT impact. They plan to experiment with this herbal remedy for a year to assess its effectiveness on their mild androgenetic alopecia without significant side effects.
community Which compounds in Saw Palmetto are actually beneficial?
Saw palmetto's fatty acids, particularly lauric and linoleic acids, inhibit enzymes linked to hair loss, while sterols like beta-sitosterol are less effective due to poor absorption. The conversation questions which specific compounds in saw palmetto contribute to its anti-androgenic effects.
