Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) is an herbal extract linked to mild 5-Alpha Reductase inhibition. Some adopt it for androgenic hair thinning, viewing it as a natural approach compared to prescription medications.
Though evidence is mixed, older adults seeking to manage hair loss or prostate issues sometimes try Saw Palmetto, aiming for a gentler side-effect profile. Proper dosing and standardized extracts remain key considerations.
