Saw palmetto is a plant that Native Americans have used for hundreds of years to help their health in many ways. Some people think it can stop or cure hair loss, especially in men and women with androgenic alopecia, which is also called male and female pattern baldness. But there isn't enough scientific proof to back up this claim, and saw palmetto may not be the best way to stop hair loss.
1
Relationship between Saw Palmetto and Hair Loss
Reason why saw palmetto has become one of the most sought after item for hair loss is because of its effects. As some of the people who did research about hair thinning might know, hormone DHT is one of the main reasons why people lose their hair. DHT causes the hair follicles to shrink and make hairs that are thinner and shorter. This can lead to baldness in the long run, and saw palmetto is thought to work by stopping the enzyme that turns testosterone into DHT. This lowers the amount of DHT in the body.

Common Saw Palmetto products that used to Treat Thinning Hair
Most of the time, the oily parts of the dried berries are used to make saw palmetto supplements. Saw palmetto pills come in different forms, such as tablets, capsules, and liquid extracts.
Saw palmetto pills come in different forms, and not all of them work the same way to stop hair loss. Some studies have found that saw palmetto products with more fatty acids and phytosterols are more effective than those with less of these substances. For example, one study found that a saw palmetto extract with 85% fatty acids and 0.2% phytosterols worked better than one with 45% fatty acids and 0.1% phytosterols.
To tackle hair loss issues, the right amount of saw palmetto to take may depend on the person and the type of product. But some experts say that the best way to stop hair loss is to take 160 milligrams (mg) of saw palmetto twice a day. Some studies that used bigger doses, like 320 mg or 480 mg per day, found that they worked. But bigger doses may also make the chance of side effects worse.
Aside from that, there is also saw palmetto oil, which is a natural substance made from the leaves of a small North American palm tree. It has been used to improve health in many ways, especially for the health of the prostate and hair. Here are some of the most common questions people have about saw palmetto oil and what it can do for them.

Is Saw Palmetto Bad for Our Body? The Truth About Whether It Is Helpful to Treat Hair Fall
Saw palmetto is usually considered safe, but some people may experience mild side effects, such as nausea, headache, dizziness, diarrhoea, or allergic reactions. Saw palmetto may also have an effect on some meds, like blood thinners, hormone drugs, or medicines for the prostate. Before taking saw palmetto for hair loss or any other problem, it is best to talk to a doctor.
Also, there hasn't been much study done on saw palmetto and hair loss. The National Centre for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) says that there is not enough scientific evidence to support people using saw palmetto for any health problem. Most of the studies about saw palmetto and hair loss are small, only last a short time, or are not well done. Some studies have found good results, while others have found nothing or even bad results.
In 2012, 100 men with mild to moderate androgenic alopecia took part in a study that compared the effects of saw palmetto and finasteride, a prescription drug for hair loss. The results showed that finasteride was more successful than saw palmetto in improving hair growth and preventing further hair loss. Also, saw palmetto worked less well for men whose hair loss was worse.
Other downsides of saw palmetto
Saw palmetto may also cause side effects or interact with other medicines. Saw palmetto might make you feel sick, throw up, have diarrhoea, get a headache, feel dizzy, or make you tired. It could also change the amounts of hormones like oestrogen and testosterone, which could make some people feel bad. Saw palmetto may also make blood thinners, birth control pills, hormone treatment, or medications for the prostate less effective. Therefore, it is important to consult your doctor before taking saw palmetto or any other herbal supplement.

Foods That You Really Need to Try for Better Hair Regrowth
If you are looking for natural ways to make your hair grow back, you might want to try some of the following items instead of sticking with saw palmetto:
Red ginseng
This is a popular supplement that may stimulate hair follicles and improve hair growth. It can be taken by mouth or put on the skin as an oil or extract.
Fatty acids
Omega-6 fatty acids, like arachidonic acid, may help hair cells grow faster and hair grow faster. You can get them from things like eggs, chicken, nuts, seeds, and nut butters, or you can take a supplement.
Aloe vera
Aloe vera is a plant that has properties that make it soothing and moisturising. It might also help reduce inflammation on the scalp and get more blood to the scalp. You can apply aloe vera gel directly to your scalp or use a shampoo that contains it.
Coconut oil
This is a natural oil that can keep your hair healthy and soft. It could also stop protein loss and stop hair from breaking. You can massage coconut oil into your head and hair, leave it on for at least 30 minutes, and then wash it out with a mild shampoo.
Aside from saw palmetto, these are some other ways to help your hair grow back. However, keep in mind that not all of them may work for everyone, and some may have side effects or interact with other medications. It is also crucial for you to know which phase is optimal for hair development, so you can employ the best period to ensure the efficacy of hair growth can be faster.

The Solution: Seize the Hair Growth Cycle for Thick and Smooth Hair!
In general, there are three stages of hair growth: the anagen, catagen, and telogen stages. The hair shafts make new hair cells and push out the old ones during the anagen phase, which is the active growth phase. The catagen phase is the transition phase, where the hair follicles shrink and detach from the blood supply. The telogen phase is the resting phase, where the hair follicles remain dormant until they are stimulated to enter the anagen phase again.
The best phase for hair regrowth is the anagen phase, because this is when the hair follicles are actively producing new hair cells and growing longer. The duration of the anagen phase varies depending on genetics, hormones, nutrition and other factors, but it typically lasts between two and six years. The hair can grow longer if the anagen phase lasts longer.
To promote hair regrowth, it is important to maintain a healthy scalp environment and stimulate the hair follicles to enter the anagen phase more frequently.
Tips to assist with hair growth during anagen phase
- Massage your scalp regularly to increase blood circulation and nutrient delivery to the hair follicles.
- Use gentle shampoo and conditioner that do not contain harsh chemicals or sulphates that can dry out or damage your hair and scalp.
- Don't use too much heat, brush, or pull on your hair. This can damage your hair strands or make them weak.
- Eat a balanced diet that includes protein, iron, zinc, biotin and other vitamins and minerals that are essential for hair growth.
- Take products that contain ingredients that support hair growth, such as collagen, keratin, saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil.

Faster Way to Achieve Your Hair Growth Goals: Technology
Laser hair growth treatment is a technique that uses low-level lasers to stimulate the scalp and hair follicles to help stop hair loss and encourage hair growth. Research shows that treatment with a low-level laser can:
- Make the growth part of the hair cycle, called anagen, last longer. - Increase blood flow to the scalp and get more nutrients to the hair follicles.
- Reduce inflammation and toxic stress, which can damage hair cells.
- Make the hair shaft stronger and stop it from breaking.
Why do people choose laser or LLLT therapy?
Laser hair therapy is a safe, painless, and non-invasive treatment that can be done at home or in a centre. It has no side effects and doesn't hurt the skin or hair. But it might not work for everyone, especially those who have lost a lot of hair or have certain health problems. It may also combine with medications that make you more sensitive to light, which is what photosensitizing drugs do. Because of this, you should talk to a doctor before you start laser hair treatment.
To see benefits from laser hair therapy, you have to go for multiple sessions a week for a few months. The length and number of meetings can change based on the device used and how the person responds. The effects might not last forever, and you might need to keep getting treatments to keep them. So forget about saw palmetto: laser hair therapy can be used in conjunction with other treatments, like minoxidil or finasteride, to get better results!

FAQ
1.How is saw palmetto oil made, and what is it?
Saw palmetto oil is made by taking the fat from the dried leaves of the saw palmetto tree (Serenoa repens) and turning it into an oily substance. Most of the time, it is made by cold pressing or solvent extraction. It includes fatty acids and plant compounds like vitamin E and phytosterols. Saw palmetto oil smells like berries and looks dark brown.
2. Can saw palmetto work better than medication to stop hair loss?
Saw palmetto is an all-natural supplement that has been shown in some tests to help hair grow. It is a plant extract that can stop the effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes hair loss. But saw palmetto isn't as good as finasteride, which is also a prescription drug that blocks DHT. Also, there is no one in charge of regulating saw palmetto, so the quality and dosage of different products can change a lot. People have also said that pumpkin seed oil, rosemary oil, peppermint oil, and aloe vera can help hair grow. These plants may have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, or vasodilatory benefits that can improve the health of the scalp and blood flow to the hair follicles. However, there isn't a lot of proof for these plants either. More study needs to be done to prove that they work and are safe for hair growth.
3. How to use saw palmetto oil?
Saw palmetto oil can be taken as a supplement in the form of a capsule or a liquid, or it can be put on the scalp or skin. Depending on the product and the reason for using it, the dose can be anywhere from 160 mg to 320 mg per day or a few drops to a teaspoon for topical use. Saw palmetto oil can be mixed with other oils to get more benefits, such as rosemary, grapefruit, ginger, sage, and peppermint.
4. What are the side effects of saw palmetto oil and how should it be used?
Saw palmetto oil is generally considered safe and well tolerated by most people, but some mild side effects may occur, such as stomach upset, headache, dizziness, nausea, diarrhoea, or allergic reactions. Saw palmetto oil may also interact with some medications, such as blood thinners, hormonal drugs, or prostate medications, so ask your doctor before using it if you are taking any of these drugs. Saw palmetto oil is not suggested for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children, or people with liver or kidney problems.
5. Is saw palmetto oil poisonous?
Saw palmetto oil is not harmful when used properly and in moderation, but it may have some bad effects if taken in large amounts or by people who are allergic or sensitive to it. Saw palmetto berries might have traces of poisons that can make you throw up or have diarrhoea if you eat them raw or in large amounts, so you shouldn't eat them. Saw palmetto oil should be kept in a cool, dark place away from sources of heat and light to keep it from going bad.
