Though often thought of exclusively as a problem for men, thinning hair is a problem for women too. The scientific evidence is mounting that this one herb can help both men and women.
The science is quickly building supporting the use of saw palmetto berry extract to reduce hair loss and enhance hair growth in both men and women. This new study adds to the growing evidence.
Androgenetic alopecia, or pattern baldness, is a common hair loss condition in both men and women. It affects nearly 80% of men as they age, and, strangely, it is becoming more common. Emerging research is establishing saw palmetto berry as a herb that can safely help.
You already knew that saw palmetto is at least as good as the drugs while being safer for men with enlarged prostate, but more evidence is always good.
