Saw Palmetto has in recent years become very popular as a suppliment for fighting hair loss. Saw Palmetto(Serenoa repens) is a herb which has deep red fruits which grows in warmer climates around the world. The liposerolic extract of the plant has for a long time been a very popular supplement for promoting prostate health in Europe.

Some research has shown that in some cases Saw Palmetto can be as effective as finesteride in treating patients with prostate enlargement. Studies have shown that Saw Palmetto acts in a similar way to propecia in that it can lower levels of DHT in the body and can block 5-alpha-reducase. For this reason many people now use Saw Palmetto in the fight against hair loss, assuming that if it produces the same results as Propecia then it may help reduce hair loss.

Though many suggest that Saw Palmetto could help fight hair loss, no formal studies have yet to prove this fact. However many people now take Saw Palmetto suppliments as part of their hair loss regime.
