Saw Palmetto- Hair Loss Prevention and Healthy Hair
For many men getting older means the on set of male-pattern baldness, also called androgenic alopecia. This involves hair loss in a defined M pattern.
Men begin to loose hair when the level of dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, on the scalp is too high. DHT attaches to hair follicles and decreases the amount of nutrients going to the follicle. When this happens the hair follicle will gradually shrink and eventually be unable to grow hair.
In order to prevent hair loss DHT levels need to be decreased. There are a few ways that this can be done. There are prescription drugs, such as Propepcia, that block the conversion of free testosterone in DHT. However, these drugs can have adverse side effects. Saw Palmetto can be a good natural alternative to these types of drugs.
Saw Palmetto is a palm plant that is most often found in coastal North America. For centuries, Native Americans have used this herb as a remedy for urinary tract disorders. It is thought by many to be an effective alternative to treat an enlarged prostate.
It is only recently that it has been found to treat hair loss as well. Saw Palmetto has been shown to block the enzyme which converts testosterone into DHT. This is similar to the way the prescription drugs work. It is a completely natural ingredient and is readily available. It can be taken in the form of supplements. Saw Palmetto is a natural way to for men to stay healthy and help prevent hair loss.
