A member asked:
Is the inhibitory actions on androgen receptors from saw palmetto long lasting or permanent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wrong question: Any benefit from saw palmetto is tiny. Prescription 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are very effective, absolutely safe, and low in cost. Finasteride or dutasteride 1 a day. The effects on prostate and hair require continued use. Dutasteride is more effective for hair. They do not act on androgen receptors. They inhibit the formation of DHT.
