3 Supplements to Look For in Natural Hair Growth Products
1. Nettle Root
The first natural supplement you will often find in hair growth treatments is Nettle Root. Nettle Root suppresses the ability of 5-Alpha-Reductase to convert testosterone to DHT. This supplement is often included in the top tier natural hair growth products. Some herbalists believe that Nettle Root is a more powerful DHT blocker than Saw Palmetto. In most cases natural hair loss treatments don’t have any nettle root in them at all. The ones that do have nettle root often don’t have enough.
However, like saw palmetto, nettle root does have some negative interactions with prescription drugs. Any medication designed to treat blood pressure, diabetes, or any sedative is something to be careful with. It should also be noted that, compared to Saw Palmetto, it’s quite safe for women with hair loss to use Nettle Root.
2. Saw Palmetto
One of the main ingredients usually found in natural hair growth products is Saw Palmetto. Saw palmetto has a good reputation for promoting a healthy prostrate by blocking DHT and so has become a popular hair loss supplement. The connection between prostratic cancer and hair loss has led many herbalists to promote Saw Palmetto as a natural hair loss treatment.
Many people are unaware of this but Propecia (aka Finasteride) was initially promoted as a treatment for prostratic disease. It became a hair loss treatment after patients started noticing changes in hair growth. Saw Palmetto, like Propecia, will help you lower the amount of DHT produced in the body. Even so, the jury is really out on whether Saw Palmetto is as effective as Propecia overall.
You should also know that Saw Palmetto does have side effects and drug interactions. Women who are pregnant should not take Saw Palmetto because unborn babies are at risk of harm when it is ingested. It might not have any hair growth benefits for women at all. There are some cases where Saw Palmetto has been found to result in difficulty urinating, hemorrhages, blood in the urine, and swelling of the prostrate.
3. Dong Quai
Dong Quai is another DHT blocker. It has phytoestrogens which block androgen-receptor sites that help convert testosterone to DHT. Since it works to block DHT many people believe that it will also help prevent hair loss. Dong Quai can also be used by women.
The combination of Dong Quai and Nettle Root working together creates a treatment regimen that you’ll find is actually more effective than practically any of the natural hair growth products available.This combination would be best suited to women. Combine all three and you will have the best possible supplement regimen for men at a much more affordable price.
