Why did American Crew put Saw Palmetto into their spray?

[misterium]

Aren't they aware that it isn't proven to be effective against hairloss?

Why would they put a saw palmetto into their Revitalize Spray?

I wouldn't worry about it, it's the copper peptides that matter.

Saw Palmetto seems to be on of those "grey areas" might help, more than likely doesn't do jack!

Looks good on the ingredient list though don't it!

I read Saw Palmetto did help topically.. or those Companies would put it inside .... Just because its a natural supplement and lacks FDA approval doesnt mean its not going to work... I wonder How much Copper Peptides will help :roll:

I was also suprised that AC used Saw Palmetto in their revitalise system, as it has a lot of bad press. Having said that, many people (non-users) of this forum do put faith in the herb and maybe they thought by adding it to their spray, the Saw Palmetto users would make the switch from oral tabs, to topical. And its unlikely that topical Saw Palmetto would do any harm, and it may have benefits in male pattern baldness (there is logical arguments for its use) the reason it has so much bad press is because some snake oil salesmen make wild claims about its effectiveness (Ive even heard 99% success rate) and charge stupid prices for it.
Think about it: AC pay intercytex god knows how much to use their patented copper peptide formula, but the use of copper peptides in male pattern baldness is pretty much unheard of away from these forums (even though it is semi-clincally proven) so they would want to use some ingredients such as Saw Palmetto that people could relate to helping hairloss.
After all is said and done, AC revitalise is an excellent set of products. Cant recommend it enough.

I've been applying saw palmetto topically, and daily for the last 3+ months. I mix it w/ polysorbate 80 and rub it into my scalp about 5 - 15 minutes before shampooing in the am.

So far - no help
