Has anyone ever tried Astaxanthin with saw palmetto for hairloss ?

[arthurSam]

It's known that this combo decrease a little DHT about 25% in blood (while saw palmetto do not alone - it decrease DHT only in prostate) while not increasing too much Estradiol but I don't see feedback from users :

Is 25% not too low for effictiveness for just maintain hairs ?

As I was getting sides even with 0.025% topical finasteride 3x/week (wich dcrease DHT by about 34%), maybe 25% could be interesting?

I respond to myself. After some search on the net :

 

The combo at 800mg, wich seems to be 4x160mg of SP + 4x40mg of Alga Haematococcus pluvialis (=4*4mg of Asaxanthin) decrease DHT by 15%.

The same combo at 2000 mg decrease DHT by 25%

Price for good quality of SP (permixon) for 4x160mg a month is about 32EUR and for asaxanthin it is about 30EUR so for 2000mg it will be more than 100EUR wich is very expensive for a low decrease of DHT.

 

I gave up on the idea 🙂
