What is the difference between the two? I can't seem to find just plain out saw palmetto, every store has the saw palmetto berries.    | ||

you want the berries...saw palmetto other than berries is useless. make sure that whichever bottle you buy that it says either berry extract, or berries, or fruit, and preferable 85-95% fatty acids and biologically active sterols...some groups sell ground up saw palmetto leaves, bark, etc. but anything other than the berries is a complete waste of money. Also another thing about saw palmetto, I had read someone post that you shouldn't take it with deca for the same reasons as you shouldn't mix deca/finesteride BUT I've read that the way finesteride works is by blocking the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme from converting test to DHT and thereby prevents deca from converting to DHN...BUT the way saw palmetto works is by binding to DHT receptor sites in the hair and the prostate and has no effect on DHT levels but accomplishes the same end result with no side effects. So based on that I would assume Saw palmetto shouldn't accelerate hair loss in a deca user like finesteride would...if anyone knows anything else on this lemme know please.  | ||

What benefit is it that you guys are looking for from the Saw Palmetto? The only thing I heard about it was that it helped with prostate problems. How does it help with gear? Prevents hair loss? |
