The answer is plain and simpe -No. There is no evidence whatsoever that saw palmetto can effect the balding process. Those that claim the contrary are out to make money from vulnerable customers.

Saw palmetto is often suggested for hair loss. Currently, the body of evidence as to whether it actually works or not is inconclusive. Saw palmetto block the ability of the body to convert testosterone to DHT, a major process in hair loss.

Hello,

I want to give you some details about the use of Saw Palmetto. Even though Saw Palmetto is known to treat enlarged prostate it is also very effective in stopping your hair loss and promoting new hair growth. What is highly recommended by me is nutra-iq nutrient rich shampoo with saw palmetto that works directly on the scalp with only 5mins in the shower. Then use nutra-iq's saw palmetto softgel, which you take twice a day with food and it works internally to help block DHT. I have used the Nutra-iQ combo for about 4 months now and it has stopped my hair loss and I see new hair growing. I'm very excited and wanted to answer the question from my personal experience. Read on for more information

DHT and Hair Loss

DHT stands for dihydrotestosterone and is one of a group of androgen hormones (testosterone, androsteinedione, and dihydrotestosterone) found in large quantities in men and much smaller quantities in women.

Dihydrotestosterone is actually a stronger version of testosterone produced when the enzyme 5 alpha reductase type 2 located in the hair cell converts testosterone into DHT. Over time DHT builds up in the follicle (a small pouch like sac) causing some follicles to wither away and die while rendering others incapable of producing or sustaining healthy hair growth. This condition is medically known as androgenetic alopecia and more commonly called male and female pattern baldness.

To prevent and treat hair loss, the level of DHT in the body must be decreased. This can be accomplished in different ways. There are prescription drugs designed to inhibit DHT (such as Propecia.), which block conversion of free testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. Being synthetic substances, prescription drugs for treating hair loss often have serious side effects, such as gynecomastia and even erectile dysfunction.

Nutra-iQ Shampoo

I have developed a two part treatment; one is the direct nourishment of the scalp with Nutra-iQ Nutrient Rich Shampoo. With only 3 to 5 minutes required to absorb into the scalp when you shower it will cool, refresh and nourish your scalp. Saw Palmetto Extract, which is the main ingredient of Nutra-iQ is a herbal DHT inhibitor. It has similar mechanism of action to Propecia, but it doesn't affect the rest of the organism and thus have no side effects associated with Propecia and other prescription drugs.

Saw Palmetto SoftGel

The second part of this treatment involves an oral absorption of the Saw Palmetto Extract with Beta Sitosterol. The softgel must be taken twice a day with food for best results. The softgel intake blocks the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme, which is responsible for converting testosterone into DHT, thus preventing and reversing hair loss!

Side Effects

There are no known side-effects, but with any medicine, Organic or Not; please consult your physician before use.

How long does it take to Work?

On average it takes about 30-Days of daily use to see that your hair is slowing down or even stopped falling out. Now, to see real results you must remember this is an Organic Treatment and with only 5 mins in the shower with the shampoo and two intakes with the softgel you will see dramatic results in 3 to 6 months. Nutra-iQ was developed to prevent any side-effects and to provide an natural and organic solution to hair loss. Visit the Saw Palmetto Combo makers with no known side effects.

Will saw palmetto assist in growing body hair in men?

Saw Palmetto does not assist hair in men body to grow because the Saw Palmetto berry extract has been proven to be helpful in reducing the effects of hair loss on the body of men, due mainly to the fact that it acts against the androgen in the body that contribute to an accelerated rate at which men hair is lost. In other words.
