Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) affects nearly 50% of men and up to 25% of women with age. Due to the poor tolerance of conventional treatments, the demand for natural solutions is growing rapidly. Hair Saw Palmetto by Darwin Lab is part of a new generation of dietary supplements based on plant extracts with clinically demonstrated efficacy.
What is Hair Saw Palmetto?
Hair Saw Palmetto is an oral supplement formulated with a standardized extract of Serenoa repens (saw palmetto), a plant recognized for its action on 5α-reductase, the key enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT. DHT is directly implicated in the miniaturization of hair follicles.
However, Hair Saw Palmetto is not limited to a single active ingredient. Its formulation includes:
· Serenoa repens extract (Saw Palmetto) – 250 mg: a natural DHT inhibitor.
· Pumpkin seed oil – 250 mg: supports hair health through anti-androgenic effects.
· Vitamin E – 44.7 mg: antioxidant protection against oxidative stress.
· Zinc – 9 mg: essential mineral for hair growth and follicular regeneration.
· Lycopene – 10 mg: powerful antioxidant that contributes to cellular protection.
· Selenium – 50 mcg: antioxidant trace element involved in follicular health.
Each box contains 60 capsules, with a dosage suitable for 1 to 2 months of treatment.
Key Scientific Insights
Hair Saw Palmetto is based on a synergistic formulation of botanical actives and micronutrients with well-established efficacy. Each ingredient plays a specific role in promoting hair health:
· Pumpkin seed oil (Cucurbita pepo) has demonstrated the ability to reduce hair loss and promote growth via inhibition of 5α-reductase [Verywell Health].
· Vitamin E, a major antioxidant, protects hair follicles from free radicals and premature aging.
· Zinc is essential for cell division and plays a critical role in tissue repair and follicle regeneration.
· Lycopene, a natural carotenoid, provides enhanced oxidative protection, supporting scalp cell longevity.
· Selenium, a rare trace mineral, contributes to the antioxidant defense system and immune support of the hair follicle.
