How safe is herbal "saw palmetto" it decreases the conversion of testosterone to dht. is this process safe? what is dht for? is blocking dht safe?

DHT etc.: "Saw palmetto is not a good idea. Look it up on the web if you can and I think you won't want to take too much or any of it. DHT is dihydrotestosterone. You can find that on the web as well.
