A mistery for me is how DHT will cause hairloss on the head, but body hair remains, I wish it was the opposite 😢

There are so many hair related channels out there and lot of them trying to gain a profit rather than telling the truth thanks a lot for all the great informative videos and professional advice .

Thanks so much. This is one of the questions i asked. So glad that you read your viewers requests. One of the best channels out there by far for hair loss treatments

This is why I respect this channel, you try to have an objective view of the subjects you discuss. Thanks for the video.

Quality of information on this channel is outstanding ... This is really the best channel on Hair...

Saw palmetto works I do say it from first hand experience It does work Takes about 2 - 4 weeks to notice effects Ever since I started, my hair stopped falling out

This Doctor is always the truth. Keep it up man and more power to you.

i love this channel! ... great unbiased info.

Interesting for sure. Nice to hear from a reliable source. Thankyou xxx 💕❤💞

I would definitely recommend trying Finasteride before taking saw palmetto. I wish I could take finasteride, but sides were too much. However, saw palmetto so far has stabilized my hair loss and surprisingly I did not get any sides (don't have any explanation). I have been using saw palmetto for 8 months. If you are planning to try one, please this is very important: use STANDARDIZED saw palmetto (160 mg x 2 per day), which were used in study. Wish you all best of luck.

I order saw palmetto today 320 mg.. don't really want to take finasteride and minoxidil cause of side effects

Saw Palmetto works great if you have a weak bladder or go to the toilet at night

Saw Palmetto is natural and kinda cheap remedy, even if it has its efficacy proved big companies would not invest in it since its already cheap and common so they would not profit much with it

Hello Doctor. You’re producing great shows. Just two weeks ago I had my FUE procedure. My question to you is, can I start using mix of oils such as rosemary, peppermint with a carrier oil to stimulate the scalp for better hair growth. On both donor and receiving areas. Some surgeons suggests wait for at least 2-3 months and some suggest you can start after two weeks. Can you please advise on this? Other quick question is, how long should I wait to start using minoxidil foam after the surgery. Thanks!

Saw Palmetto & Stinging Nettle are already a remedy to help with Prostate issues. The fact it blocks DHT is just a bonus. Safety issues as with everything - You need to Cycle. Never follow any drug or supplement dosage, either take half, or take for 3 days and stop for 2 days, keep cycling dosages for 2-3 months, than take a resting period of at least a month, and resume.

Clear, concise and to the point. Excellent thank you 👍

Can you do a video about essential oils for hair loss, like How and when to use it. Keep up with the good work. Love how you are trying to help with such good and precise info.

I was taking saw palmetto for around 3 months and it stopped my shedding and had increased hair growth and the hairline , then I have moved onto finasteride and my shedding has came back currently on 3 weeks of finasteride , I’d highly recommend saw palmetto and punkin seed which I was on before changing to finasteride but I’m staying on for now hoping for the shedding to stop as it’s only early

Thanks for covering that topic, awesome as always.

Great video. Flaxseed lignans are suppose to block DHT too. Also, ya'll should do a video on Stem cells topically and stem cell hair transplants

Saw palmetto increases libido; does for me. No side effects for me. Agree that studies haven't been done on it bc no money for pharma in a natural product. Finasteride had very significant/severe brain fog negative side effects for me. Nizoral and 2% prescription version thereof have been helpful for me and I can feel them working when I use them 2x/day. Good content on this channel.

a very good explanation for saw palmetto except that you did not mention the best application regarding that because it comes as a form of liquid for external use and tablets for internal use as well as treating prostate problems as well when taking the capsules

Idk why but this doctor seems to be lacking in this study. It’s often used to treat enlarged prostate, improve urinary function, and enhance hair growth. Some also use the supplement to boost libido and fertility and reduce inflammation. Finally, saw palmetto is claimed to have anticancer effects.

Gentlemen having used Saw Palmetto for other reasons touched upon in the blog I can warn/advise you will be up two or three times in the night for a bathroom call.. well you could check your hair at the same time.

I have been waiting for your video on Saw palmetto

Was waiting for this video, thanks a lot for the info.

Agree with Doc. Although it is a 5AR blocker, it is very weak compared to Finasteride. I've been using it for 12 months and my hair loss continues to worsen. Don't waste your time, low dose Finasteride is the way to go.

I dont have problem of hair loss, but can I drink saw palmetto tea bag for health ?! Or there will be side effects?!

I still can't determine if saw palmetto actually does anything. Theoretically it could but from all the anecdotal evidence I've seen it does absolutely nothing

Great video again! Keep up the good work!

doctor please make a video on how caffeine affect hair growth/ hair loss... great work keep posting videos ...thanks for your generous effort for spreading the word

hello, I have long hair , But Oily scalp, and I want to use castor oil for hair loss and hair regrowth , Also saw palmetto shampoo and oils serum , how can I do it ? Also I am microneedling ( derma pen ) my hairline and temples, can you tell me a Castor oil and saw palmetto protocol including microneedling? , how to, how many times , when to ? , thank you !

Thanks for addressing this

Studies have shown rosemary oil have the same effect as minoxidil. Could you please make a video about it.. thank you

What about Rosemary Oil? There have apparently been some studies that show that it can have an effect similar to Minoxidil. Would be great to see a video and hear your opinions on that.

Thanks for your videos doctor! they are greatly appreciated.

Please make a video on PRP and Exosome therapy. Also does derma rolling damage hair follicles that might also affect future hair transplants?

Dr Jayaprakash, if you don't mind telling, what's your regimen? How do you keep and maintain your "lovely locks?" 😀

I have been taking it for a few days and it's working nice as expected

According to one review, saw palmetto may help block the uptake of DHT and decrease its ability to bind to androgen receptors by nearly 50%. In turn, this may help regulate testosterone levels (3Trusted Source). One 14-day study also noted that taking 1,200 mg per day of Resettin - a supplement made with saw palmetto and astaxanthin, a type of antioxidant found in algae - increased serum testosterone levels by 38% compared with a placebo (17Trusted Source). Furthermore, a study in rats showed that saw palmetto increased testosterone synthesis, muscle endurance, and sperm count by altering hormone regulation (18Trusted Source). SUMMARY Test-tube, human, and animal studies show that saw palmetto could help regulate testosterone levels by decreasing the activity of an enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT.

Best way to consume Saw Palmetto? Oral or topical application?

I think it's his way of saying "go use it, it's good" without actually saying it so as to avoid big pharma ruining his career.

Another amazingly helpful video! THANK YOU.

Sir my question is that saw pelmeto works or not

i am using saw palmetto for 12 days. reply to my comment to see possible results in the near future.

To resume I think he's got no problems with people using it

Very informative thanks very much. I was asking the same question.

What do you think if I use saw Palmetto Topic instead of take the pill. Should it works as well?

Hi doctor,thank you for all your informative vids, they help us a lot.. just wanna ask, what is your opinion about “natural remedy” like application of onion on the scalp?

Overall, no one knows if anything works.

What about using it topically

I took it for about 7 months and it had good results, but not very significant. It slowed hair loss, but definitely did not stop it. I think maybe I should have continued it for about a year. However, I did have a loss of libido. Quite surprisingly, the quality of the sperm increased as well. After I left it I had some pain in my pectoris major muscle and I'm not sure why. Unfortunately, we do not have any studies on it and I would say that 320 mg/daily after a while becomes too much. Maybe people can take 320 mg daily for 6 months and then switch to 160 daily and increase accordingly if they don't see their desired effects. Maybe 160/2x day sort of spreads its possible efficacy better and safer, we just do not know. I'm taking Finasteride (0.25 mg daily) and I wonder if I can add 160 mg of saw palmetto to it, since I know it worked on me, so maybe I can increase the efficacy of blocking DHT without the nasty sides. I think it's worth a shot for people to try it and maybe combine it with Finasteride as well. The worst that can happen is that there won't be any contribution of Saw Palmetto.

Great video and amazing explanation no one on KZfaq did this before in this accurate way, Dr do you recommend using saw palmetto with fin since it has been able to block the receptors like 3 days a week fin 1mg and everyday saw palmetto or maybe this will increase the chance of side effects? /Keep going Drs

Does Saw Palmetto have a lower chance of side effects compared to finasteride ?

Sir please make a video on whether applying onion juice on bald area really works or not. There are lot of theories circulating in KZfaq about onion juice. Would be very helpful if we get some insights on it.

Very good explanation and clarification of the real effect of Saw Palmetto vs. finasteride

If no improvement,does it successfully halt the progression?

I am taking finasteride. does it make sense to supplement saw palmetto? I take 560 mg in the morning and 560 mg in the evening. Can I increase the dose to 2g a day? Do you let go completely?

Thanks for this video! Can you discuss about RU-58841 in any of your upcoming videos? It would be really helpful! Thanks again!

i see many videos sayin putting onion juice on the scalp helps promote hair regrowth and loosed hair also grows back is this true pls make a video regarded this thank you

So let's be honest in some people it is hard to stop hair loss but in my case I have use saw palmetto along with minoxidil castor oil finastaride bition collagen and it has worked for me but I wasn't losing too much hair only in my front hairline so now it's blooming my hairline is visible and I am happy with it but I tell you the truth if I stop taking this I start to lose it again I believe in some cases it is inevitable, because of there genetics

Could you make a video on Azelaic Acid as a DHT blocker please? Thank you!

Basically you've heard good things about it, it contains compounds that should help, but you haven't seen improvement in anyone personally and don't use it in your practice

Of course there’s no studies, no one would profit from it

hi love your show.... can i switch brands of finasteride? im currently using the brand name propecia.. but im thinking of getting generic ones (5mg) and cut it into 4pcs for saving cost purpose... hope you’ll see my comment and answer my question.. thank you

Do DHEA supplements cause hair loss through a similar process?

Some people do report substantial Hair Gain with Saw Palmetto. One channel claims that the beneficial effect is caused when fatty acids (at least 85%) are included. Since most Saw Palmetto sold is without the fatty acids, this would explain negative test results. BTW, is the video only about the Extract?

Has anyone noticed any pimples/acne on the face after using saw palmetto?

thank you was very helpful doc. :)

Very happy with the video

Doctor, what do you think about tension is the surrounding scalp muscles? Do you think it might influence hair loss treatment?

hi. can I take saw palmetto while I am taking finasteride???????

I tried saw palmetto for a few months and actually started getting bad side effects. A few months later I decided to try finasteride and I've tolerated that much better oddly enough.

your channel is great and really helpful! Love how u pronounce your name though haha

Hi doctor i have question and request of course, Q: are peomix pappermint essential oil mix with jojoba oil can use to grow hair especially in head not beard, because Req: i hope Doctor can make video to review this , thank you very much

Hi so happy I came across these videos, so informative! Question I have is on "DHT blocking" supplements. Like many I am concerned with side affects of fin and wondering if there is content that speaks to these supplements. In doing some research I was going to try Propidren, anyone have any experience taking these types of supplements?

does it make sense to take oral saw palmetto in addition to finasteride?

Thanks for this information

- what do you think of adding oral dutasteride 0.5 once a week beside topical finasteride that im on right now? - did you experienced and improvements before with using stemoxydine? thank you in advance

I think there are a bunch of finesteride corporate sales bots in the comments.

Hey Doc! I have a question! If side effects wouldnt exist, what would be more effective to get regrowth on my temples/hairline. 1: 2,5mg oral minoxidil daily or 2: microneedling+topical minoxidil

Hello and thanks a lot for making such informative videos. Seeing your videos i went to a dermatologist and was diagnosed with stage3 progressing to stage 4 male pattern baldness.. i have been prescribed hairserum and minoxidil both morning and night can i take both at different times or should i just take minoxidil? Thanks in advance

320 is too low. as i researched back then you should aim for 640-1200 depending on the quality. wich is another thing as its not standirized. i took many brands and different doses over the last years but it does nothing or close to nothing.

So if hair loss runs in the family (genetics) can finasteride not prevent it? It only prevents hairloss caused by testosterone? Thanks

Does certain essential oil and carrier oil have any benefits for hair growth? I.e Peppermint, Lavender and Rosemary essential oils used with olive/coconut oil.

This is the doctor that I want

how do you get dutesteride? my doctor doesn't prescribe it for his practice any suggestions?

There are so many brands. Which one should women take

which is more effectve treatment - Finasteride and SERENOA

Thank you!

I've been using 500mg saw palmetto daily for years now. Although there was no appearent improvement, I kept using it mainly because I was scared of finasteride. 1 Month ago I ve finally started using finasteride 3 times a week after watching your channel. I still take saw palmetto on the days I skip finasteride just not to waste my saw palmetto stock. Taking Saw palmetto might be good for prostate health but doesn't work for the hair loss.

Thank you, Dr. Jayaprekash. Very useful.

can it be used topically ?

Sir, l'm using topical saw palmetto. Is it danger in pregnancy time?

Thanks to share this information I like your video I easily understand your explanation ❤

I started using saw palmetto and got positive feedback. The amount I use is 1000 mg capsules per day, you suggested 300 mg. Do I need to lower the mg level to 500 mg daily? thanks in advance for the answer

Can it be used topically?

Will the effect anything while trying to conceive or when my wife is pregnant?

What does it mean if hair grows in other areas (genital, under arms) (especially right after shaving) but not the head?

Can it be taken with finasteride without any issues or is there some sort of interaction?
