You read a lot about hair loss help for men, but women need help too.
Pattern hair loss affects 80% of men over 80 and 40% of women by the time they’re 50.
But, compared to placebo, saw palmetto berry extract significantly increases terminal hair growth, the thick, fully developed hairs you want to grow back, and significantly reduces hairs shed in a hair pull test.
Saw palmetto berry also specifically helped menopausal women whose hormonal changes affect hair loss: they significantly increased terminal hairs and decreased hair shedding.
The saw palmetto was safe with no adverse events.
