Saw Palmetto: A Game Changer For Hair Loss

Saw palmetto is an herb that has many benefits, but is especially known for its benefits in both men's and women's health. You've heard before that it helps with the prostate (which it can), but did you know that it can also help with hair growth?
In this video, I discuss the many ways that saw palmetto can help you and your hair. Many people don't realize that saw palmetto is also an amazing hair growth stimulator - it actually does double duty on a potent DHT inhibitor. Saw palmetto is a natural testosterone booster as well... and it counteracts the negative effects of hormones like estrogen excess and DHT (which causes prostate enlargement).
Has saw palmetto helped you? Thinking about trying it? If so, let me know in the comments. I'd love to hear from you!
I run a Hair Clinic named Nina Ross Hair Therapy where we treat all kinds of hair problems, including thinning hair and hair loss. We also offer medical grade nutrition, supplements and lifestyle advice to help you achieve a healthy head of hair. You can get in touch with me at my website: www.ninaross.co.

@@danielgimj I'm from Brazil, so you would not use the same brand. But a important thing about this product is that it reduces the amount of DHT that your body produce normaly, whith make the hair loss. But it ins't cool you reduce the DHT totally in your body. So you should use just about 3 months and see if your hair stop folling. I used 400mg/day for 3 months and now my hair is ok! And i'm not taking it any more I hope i could help

Mam i am 18+ and last one year i am facing density and thickness issues. I had great hair before but i used to comb my wet hair roughly and shampoo daily that made my hair dry and thin and my hair is not dense any more. My current hair is not that bad and also not good either. I am very scarred using of minoxidil and finastride. I just want to thicken my hair and grow new hairs to gain my density. Will saw palmetto work for me? Waiting for your reply

Hi there, its very important for us to figure out what kind of hair loss you are experiencing because you may need more than just saw palmetto to see a change in your current condition. Yes, Saw palmetto will help but not on its own. If you are interested in finding the right treatment protocol that doesn't involve harsh pharmaceuticals I would love to assist you.

Dear Dr. Ross, I've started supplementing on Saw Palmetto, I'm 56 and I suffer hair loss for about 8 years, tried lots of things ... In your experience, would it be possible that there's more shedding the first weeks after having started taking Saw Palmetto and that it gets better afterwards ? I've read Minoxidil can cause shedding in the beginning ... Just a bit worried and not sure whether I should continue it or not. I'm on it for about 3 weeks now ... Thks in advance for your reply. And thanks very much for sharing your exeperience with us . Sandra (Belgium)

Hi, I would love to assist you in finding the best treatment protocol to stop the shedding and promote hair growth. There may be more that needs to be done to actual heal your body internal and treat your hair and scalp externally to see continuous progress. Also, Minoxidil isn't always the best treatment for the hair because once you stop, the hair that has grown can completely fall out again.

@@KingOfCha0z I’m guessing you don’t really know about the side effects of Minoxidil which can cause pericardial effusion, occasionally progressing to tamponade, and angina pectoris may be exacerbated. Minoxidil should be reserved for hypertensive patients who do not respond adequately to maximum therapeutic doses of a diuretic and two other antihypertensive agents. Minoxidil must be administered under close supervision, usually concomitantly with therapeutic doses of a beta-adrenergic blocking agent to prevent tachycardia and increased myocardial workload. It must also usually be given with a diuretic, frequently one acting in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle, to prevent serious fluid accumulation. Patients with malignant hypertension and those already receiving guanethidine should be hospitalized when minoxidil is first administered so that they can be monitored to avoid too rapid, or large orthostatic, decreases in blood pressure.

Increase Blood flow good! Or, Would you rather have thick blood that has a hard time getting to your extremities getting the nutrients your body needs for things like maybe growing hair? Thick blood (Hypercoagulability) can be a sign of diabetes as well as other conditions hence that is why we can loose our toes because of the lack of the fluid blood flow to those parts of our body! it can also cause a stroke and other nasty conditions🧐 So stop eating sugar in all it’s forms! It is the devil! just sayin😁 peace

@@HonestLady why are you worried about an increase in blood flow. That is improving your circulation which will make certain that your follicles get what they need in order to keep your hair growing. Aspirin thins the blood and many people are prescribed it to help to prevent heart attacks or Strokes . Massaging your scalp with increase your circulation or your blood flow which to me is a good thing unless you bleed very easily. I no longer take aspirin for heart health but I do take vitamin E and fish oil which I also believe increase blood flow.
