Does saw palmetto work like propecia? Will it help at all in hair loss?
If saw palmetto works as a DHT blocker, it is a weak one. The problems I see with it is that you don’t know what you are getting when you buy it. Every manufacturer seems to have a different dose. I believe that in high doses, it will depress the sex drive in men. What I like about Propecia, is that its dose is known and the side effects are well documented. You get just what you buy and the results on long term hair loss is well known, published in scientific journals, and FDA-certified as safe and effective.

i was in the military, i beleive propecia also stopped my desire to go awol or chase women, or maybe–don’t ask don’t tell LOL, they said some bald monkeys (McCall McCaw, something) were used in studies and grew more hair when minox and propecia were combined, have you seen this result with your patients, they also said the monkeys had less desire to escape from THEIR cages and go awol LOL, this is a very informative and entertaining site, doc rassman or his associates who write responses have a great sense of humor, fun and informative, a winning combination for this site!
