 |  |   Description and Notes: |  |
Saw palmetto extract comes from berries of the palm tree Saw palmetto (Serenoa
repens) which is indigenous to the Atlantic Southeast coast of North America.
Studies have shown that Saw palmetto is an effective anti-androgen. It acts in
a similar way that Propecia does. Firstly it lowers levels of DHT in the body
by blocking 5 alpha-reductase. Secondly Saw Palmetto blocks receptor sites on
cell membranes required for cells to absorb DHT. Although no studies have been
carried out on Saw palmetto and its relation to hair growth. Studies have been
performed on the use of Saw palmetto in the treatment of benign prostatic
disease which similar to Androgenetic Alopecia also depends on the production
of dihydrotestosterone(DHT). All of the studies that have been performed to
date show that Saw palmetto is an effective anti-androgen and has shown
conclusively to be effective in the treatment of benign prostate disease. One
may assume from this that since Saw palmetto is an effective anti-androgen and
is used in the treatment of prostatic disease then it may also be effective in
the treatment of Androgenetic alopecia. More and more people around the globe
are starting to use Saw palmetto in the treatment of benign prostatic
hyperplasma and in the treatment of Androgenetic alopecia
Prostaguard is a natural supplement with each
tablet containing the following:
Zinc Gluconate - 112.5mg
Saw Palmetto- 500mg
Vitamin B6- 75mg
These ingredients plus others included in Prostaguard have been documented as
having anti-androgenic effects and may be effective in treating androgenetic
alopecia. Saw Palmetto may prevent the binding of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to
androgen receptors and, therefore, may also be of use to prevent hair loss and
other undesirable effects of DHT.
