    Saw Palmetto, Dangerous?

    oh, i'm not dropping the attitude, it's what will make me memorable. and isn't 'attitude' what internet message boards are for? but, i do have to question this study myself now that i found this little tidbit: Herbal Products Hair GenesisTM, from Dr. Geno Marcovici and Sunset Marketing...

    Saw Palmetto, Dangerous?

    yes! i love the anti-SP sentiment!! if i ever had to engage in a battle against HairLossTalk.com moderators i know that a little saw palmetto berry necklace would be pretty a good start. they keep their distance from this little herb! yeah, i want to see the study too. that's why i posted the abstract...

    Saw Palmetto, Dangerous?

    As far as my 'point' for all this, it's that I was curious to know more about SP. And yes, after interning with a pharmaceutical company throughout college I'm a bit bitter towards them. Kind of like the kid who worked at a fast food joint and can't eat there anymore having seen what the food...

    Saw Palmetto, Dangerous?

    by the way, is there any surprise that none of those journals are significantly high impact? and who is doing the S.P. research, academia? it's ain't Merck! when finasteride was shown to possibly have an effect on prostate cancer, as inconclusive as that data ended up being, where was it? the New...

    Saw Palmetto, Dangerous?

    as far as i know, medical journals don't only publish POSITIVE data. the fact that there are no published reports dealing with Saw Palmetto's affect on hair loss positive or negative to me is an indication that there is inadequate clinical evidence to say anything. and if you had read what i...

    Saw Palmetto, Dangerous?

    the real limiting factor for clinical trials with saw palmetto, and any herbal remedy for that matter, is there is no money in it. you can't patent an herb, so there is really no reason for any biotech company to invest the large sums of money into testing the efficacy of it. when Merck...

    Saw Palmetto, Dangerous?

    thanks, i think i'll stay with it then. what i'm using is Pathmark's 'Natural Saw Palmetto' which is saw palmetto extract (berry) 160 mg per tablet with active sterols 136 - 152mg (85% - 95%) . I take two tablets a day and it costs me about 4 bucks a month, i usually stock up when they have...

    Saw Palmetto, Dangerous?

    I've been on a 5% minoxidil, 2x a week nizoral, and 160 mg Saw Palmetto 2x a day routine for 9 months now. I'm getting satisfactory results and would like to keep this routine up. The only thing is I'm wondering, since there is no data supporting its efficacy, if saw palmetto is really necessary...

    Buying Nizoral in the US What is the best online location to order Nizoral Shampoo from if you are living in the US? I heard that you can only order the 1% shampoo without a prescription, is this true?
