320mg of standardized saw palmetto extract daily. Saw palmetto inhibits 5-alpha reductase similarly to finasteride, reducing DHT levels that cause follicle miniaturization. A clinical trial showed 38% improvement in hair density after 2 years. As a natural alternative or stack with minoxidil, it's one of the few non-prescription supplements with genuine clinical evidence for androgenic alopecia.

Using with minoxidil. Shedding dropped significantly within 3 months.

Slower than finasteride but zero side effects. Good natural option for borderline cases.
