Is it true that Saw Palmetto (Biostim) Is better for treating hair than Finasteride?

Saw Palmetto is a small palm tree native to the eastern part of the United States. The berries contain a biologically active component similar in action to finasteride. The fat-soluble part of these berries has been shown to inhibit the conversion of testosterone into the active form, much like finasteride. Although there are several double-blind studies comparing saw palmetto to finasteride in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (enlarged prostate), there are no studies looking at its use in hair loss.

How effective Is Finasteride?

Finasteride (Propecia and Proscar) has been shown effective in the treatment of mild to moderate male-pattern hair loss. These results were based on two 24-month studies of men ages 18 to 41. About 80 percent of the men in the study maintained their base hair count (versus 28 percent on placebo), while 66 percent had visible regrowth as rated by independent observers (versus seven percent with placebo). Most of the men in the study reported an increase in the amount of hair, a decrease in their hair loss, and an improvement in their appearance.

What’s the difference between Propecia, Proscar and Biostim?

Propecia and Proscar are two forms of the same medicine, Finasteride, but in two different dosages. They both block the conversion of testosterone into its active form, allowing hair growth.

We recommend the use of BiostimBusiness Management Articles, in all cases for best results.
