    So because you did not experience side effects on saw palmetto that means it has no effect on 5ar? Do you think anecdotal evidence is more convincing than scientific studies carried out by medical professionals?

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12477490

    Inhibition of type 1 and type 2 5alpha-reductase activity by free fatty acids, active ingredients of Permixon (a brand of standardized saw palmetto extract).

    Never said it was comparable to fin at all, from what I've read I don't think it's strong enough to do anything meaningful regarding hair loss.
