Saw Palmetto does reduce the DHT your body produces and may reduce hair loss. It may even re-grow hair in a small percentage of very lucky individuals. In one study it was shown just as effective in reducing the prostate size as 5mg of finasteride, but it has not been studied clinically in hair loss against Propecia.
Zinc is essential for healthy hair. Hair Structure is clearly the best post surgical product for hair restoration surgery because it delivers antioxidants to the transplanted area and the donor area. Hair structure speeds the recovery phase and it is totally natural.
Hair structure includes Biotin which is a major component in the natural hair manufacturing process - it is essential to not only grow new hair, but it also plays a major role in the overall health of skin and nails.
Types of hair loss treatment products:
DHT Blocker - Work through different mechanisms to synergistically inhibit the binding of Testosterone and 5-Alpha Reductase, and decrease DHT locally. By decreasing the DHT levels, hair follicles can grow and thicken naturally, leading to a fuller, healthier scalp. These treatments truly deal with hair loss at the "root" of the problem.
Growth Stimulators - Work on a symptomatic level to artificially stimulate growth, without actually dealing with hair loss at the cause of the problem. While this may sound like an ineffective method, growth stimulators are actually a very successful way to at least cosmetically reverse the balding process.
Anti-Inflammatory's - These treatments work to reduce inflammation, itching, redness, and flaking which is caused as a result of the immune response, and which can make hair loss even worse if not controlled.
Antiandrogens - The goal of Antiandrogen treatments is to stop DHT from binding to the Androgen receptor. This is one of the steps in the chain of chemical reactions which ultimately leads to hair loss. Whereas DHT Inhibitors go to the first chemical interaction and stop it from occurring, Antiandrogens come in about 3/4 of the way down the process, and inhibit one of the last interactions before damage to the follicle occurs. Both types of treatments work in different parts of the process to stop the process from completing.
