Hey guys, can anyone recommend a good saw palmetto brand? One that is effective and more likely to work? Also are there any side effects even though it's just a vitamin? Thanks

Saw Palmetto should all be the same, it’s more about the dosage. However, I don’t believe it does anything for hair loss. But it doesn’t hurt to try, side effects are rare.

I'd second that having tried it a good few years back. I wouldn't recommended relying on it alone to sustain your hair.

Nature's Way, Puritan Pride, Heinz, all good brands.

 

Interesting to see on YouTube the guys recommending it - they're all bald...

I'm serious.  Just look at my face.

Don't bother with saw palmetto. I continued to lose hair on it for a few years. I then jumped on propecia and 10 years later No further hair loss.

Thanks guys. Right now I'm just using finasteride & minoxidil. Would you recommend just sticking with that or add in saw palmetto as well?

If it were me, I would not add saw palmetto...the finasteride is sufficient.
