How much saw palmetto should i take for hair loss?

I've been noticing some hair thinning lately, and a relative told me about Saw Palmetto. I found some capsules, but the instructions are a bit vague. How much Saw Palmetto should I actually be taking for hair loss for it to be effective?

Keep your mind calm and stay positive, as stress only increases hair loss. Usually, people use 320mg of saw palmetto daily. Take care of your health, eat natural foods, and trust that nature has a way of healing us.

I tried taking 160mg of saw palmetto twice a day for my hair thinning. While it helped a little, I found that regular head massages with warm amla and bhringraj oil worked much better to strengthen my roots naturally.

I used 320mg saw palmetto capsules daily for 5 months. Honestly, it didn't do much for my male pattern baldness. I had to consult a dermatologist who prescribed proper clinical treatments that actually worked.

The typical dose discussed is 320mg of standardized extract. However, instead of relying solely on supplements, make sure your vegetarian diet has enough zinc and iron, like pumpkin seeds and leafy greens, which are crucial for hair growth.

While saw palmetto is popular as a natural DHT blocker, clinical evidence of its efficacy is still limited compared to medical treatments. A standard dose is 320mg daily, but it is highly recommended to consult a dermatologist to diagnose the exact cause of your hair loss.

Bro, don't stress too much about losing hair, it happens to the best of us! People usually take around 320mg of saw palmetto, but just talk to a skin doc first so you don't waste money on wrong supplements.
