Senior Member BaldDude Posted August 11, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 11, 2022 Not me, but Saw Palmetto only has about half the effectiveness of finasteride according to a study. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/039463201202500435 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not dissing SP btw, I think it's a great alternative with a lower risk of side effects vs. the pharmaceuticals, just know it's not going to be anywhere near as potent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
