Saw Palmetto Doesn't Work according to scientist

09-27-2011, 02:18 PM

Popular supplement - saw palmetto extract - has no effect on prostate health: study

http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-09-popular-supplement-palmetto-effect.html

The most widely used over-the-counter supplement for prostate health is no more effective than a placebo in treating men's lower urinary tract symptoms.

At least when it comes to the prostate. So we can logically assume that it doesnt work on blocking the conversion of Testosterone to DHT.

Heres some more news headlines.

I wouldn't exactly say this is anything that we should consider new since saw palmetto was never proven to be effective for the prostate or hairloss. Myself and my brother took saw palmetto for three years and continued to lose hair. We then switched to propecia and have been on it for three years and have maintained hair.

Basically saw palmetto is bs! Stick to the evidence! Go with propecia!
