Saw palmetto are dwarf palm plants found in the south eastern area of North America. Its deep red fruits are believed to have curative agents for various diseases and disorders, including benign prostatic hyperplasia and hair loss.

There have been a number of studies conducted throughout the years that explore the effects of saw palmetto on BPH and such results may be linked to the possibility of saw palmetto being able to help certain individuals regrow their hair. It should be remembered that androgenic alopecia, like BPH, is affected by the level of dihydrotestosterone in the body.

Men and women can suffer from androgenic alopecia, also known as male or female-patterned baldness. The greatest hair loss for both would be concentrated on the top area of the scalp. For men, androgenic alopecia leads to total baldness more often than not while women generally suffer from overall hair thinning but rarely from total baldness.

A combination of factors may be cited for the development of androgenic alopecia, but not all of these are known. It is greatly believed, nevertheless, the excessive levels of DHT could be one of the causes for androgenic alopecia. DHT is one type of androgens. Androgens are crucial for normal sexual development for males between their birth and puberty stages. Androgens are also essential for regulating sex drive and hair growth for both men and women.

By using saw palmetto, androgenic alopecia may be successfully treated and consequently allow hair to regrow naturally. But as this hasn’t yet been conclusively proven, it is best to ask for your doctor’s advice before taking any hair regrowth products.
