saw palmetto can stop, reverse fin side effects!!!

[friezy]

i take both finasteride and saw palmetto. i personally dont think saw palmetto is great for hairloss as it doesnt directly target the dht that causes mpb but it can hurt. i do however reccomend it for another reason and heres why.


side effects of fin include decreased libido and decreased urinary flow.
saw palmetto is proven to increase urinary flow and is also a mild aphrodisiac so if your taking fin, by taking saw palmetto aswell you will reduce your chances of sides if not completely mask or reverse them.

i started both fin and saw palmetto at the same time and the only side effect i noticed was increased libido.

saw palmetto works via different mechanisms for hairloss.

SP side effects include loss of libido just like Finasteride.

I upped the dose on Fin and now I think about sex more often. And i'm not a person who really thinks a lot about sex to begin with. I'm not a saint, but i'm not a pervert either. I'm also waking up with boners more often now in the morning. - i'm sorry for this detailed paragraph.

Though, I also take multivitamins, and Biotin, I drink protein shakes as well. I don't know what correlation any of these things have with higher libido. But i've never been negatively effected by finasteride.

I had increased libido for a couple of weeks after first starting finasteride. Then the crash hit me and still not recovered.

Oh yeah and in addition to those things, I also take fish oil and flax seed oil from time to time.

Saw palmetto is proven to be a mild aphrodisiac.
i have experienced increased libido from it myself.

this is probably because of the increased testosterone levels that are available.
