More than half of the population suffers from hair loss after the age of 50 years. The most common amongst them are androgenic alopecia also called as male pattern baldness. Its main cause is DHT hormone. The DHT acts as receptor in the scalp. This leads to thinning of hairs.

Mostly hair loss treatments work by blocking DHT in some way or the other. Mostly used treatment is finasteride. It inhibits DHT and prevents its activities. Another one is Minoxidil.

Synthetic drugs are not a good option for hair loss treatments. They have side effects like erection problem in patients who takes finasteride. Skin irritation, dizziness and increase in heart rate are some side effects caused by this drug.

Another problem faced by those who take these drugs is that they are not universally effective like Minoxidil works in only one fourth of the men population.

Natural hair loss treatments is a good alternative like saw palmetto is an herbal DHT inhibitor which cheap than commercial medicines available in the market and they don not have any side effect. Natural treatment available in the market have major ingredient as saw palmetto. Another ingredient is zinc which helps in conversion of testosterone to DHT thus reduces DHT level.
