Question about my regimen

Guest · Apr 2, 2008

Hello everyone. Just had a quick question on my regimen, I am taking Rogaine foam twice daily, and Saw Palmetto, Standardized Extract 160mg 2x daily= 320mg.....anyways, I was just curious if this was enough Saw Palmetto or not? Rogaine and Saw Palmetto are all that I am taking for my hair loss, I'm unable to obtain any prescriptions, and I would actually prefer to go about this Herbally. Is my SP dosage good or do I need to up it? Thanks in advance!

Sorry but Saw Palmetto won't do jack sh*t for your hair. You might as well save yourself the money.

Saw Palmetto does have some beneficial effects treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, like the major hairloss drugs (finasteride, dutasteride), but they work in different ways. Saw Palmetto is not a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, which is what you want, really.
