Saw Palmetto and Hair Loss: Myth or Reality?

In recent years, the Saw Palmetto ( Serenoa repens) has become one of the most cited ingredients when talking about hormonal hair loss.
Often presented as a natural alternative to Minoxidil or the family finasteride, it is at the heart of many anti-hair loss formulas — but is it really effective?

Let's discover together the science behind this plant-based active ingredient and why it is one of the pillars of DHT Blocker MakeMyMask, formulated by experts in trichology.

What is Saw Palmetto?

Le Saw Palmetto is a small berry native to North America, traditionally used to regulate hormonal imbalances in men.

In cosmetics and trichology, it is recognized for its action on DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the hormone primarily responsible for baldness and androgenic alopecia.

DHT: The Hormone at the Heart of Hormonal Hair Loss

La DHT is a natural derivative of testosterone. In some people, an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase converts excess testosterone into DHT.

This hormone then binds to receptors in hair follicles, causing:

• a progressive miniaturization of hair,

• a shorter and thinner growth,

• and ultimately, a lasting fall.

This is the key mechanism of the hormonal hair loss in both men and women.

How does Saw Palmetto work on DHT?

Le Saw Palmetto acts like a natural 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT.

Result: less DHT around the follicle, and therefore less hormonal aggression on the scalp.

The proven benefits:

• Slowing down the hormonal decline

• Preservation of hair diameter

• Visible improvement in hair density

• Better scalp vitality

Studies have shown that the Saw Palmetto could offer efficiency comparable to that of the finasteride, without hormonal side effects.

✅ Proven reality

Le Saw Palmetto is not a myth: it is a scientifically recognized active ingredient for naturally block DHT et slow down the hormonal drop.

However, its effectiveness depends heavily on two factors:

1. The dosage (minimum 300 mg titrated in fatty acids)

This is the combination that the DHT Blocker MakeMyMask.
