With regards to HairLossTalk.com and his concerns that saw palmetto is totally inaffective for male pattern baldness orally, I came across a study that did show it was effective, and not just for prostate issues.
(hairloss-research.org then see"updates"
I also talked to Susan, head pharmacist at hairlosspharmacy.com, who felt that SP was MORE effective than fiansteride and that was because it covered more bases. She went as far as to say it was a waste of money to take both SP and proscar, that SP (a good standarized version, with nettle, pygeum etc.) was just better.
I mention this because they dont even offer a SP product there, but they do sell proscar/propecia, so she is clearly not trying to sell anything.
