Saw Palmetto: Hairloss? Weight training? General health?

[lao tzu]

Quite the marvelous little berry. Inhibits conversion of Testosterone into DHT. DHT is the little bastard that makes you go bald. It also benefits those who lift weights. Has some aphrodisical qualities and helps protect your damn prostate.

Do a google search.

Your welcome.

Sounds interesting. From what I gather, the testerone that is not converted to DHT can be used by your body to induce an anabolic state. Simply put, it will increase your growth rates when working out.

It's very cheap to buy too, so I'm gonna give it a try! It sure won't hurt to have some guard against hairloss either.

where can you get this and how much for it

DHT has a number of functions in the body, that are yet not quite understood, one being on heart function. I guess it's there for a reason and it's not all bad.

The drug Proscar blocks DHT and has been around a while, but there are some concerns of the long term effects of blocking/reducing DHT.

You can buy sp tablets in health food shops. Unless your hair is coming out by the handful I'd save your money.

I'd say do a google search on the entire range of benefits.
