I started taking Saw Palmetto supplements about 5 months ago in addition to my regular multi-vitamins, and MSM which I have been taking for several years now. Well, in the last week, my shedding has been uncontrolable. I've noticed a tremendous increase in the number of hairs I shed each day. Someone PLEASE help. This is causing me much stress and concern :( Thank you. ~N |

I don't think it's fair to assume that the cause of your increased hair loss the past week is due to saw palmetto supplements. (Besides, the stress from your aggrivation won't help alleviate the hair loss). Have you been under lots of stress lately, mental or physical? Perhaps you need to re-charge and restore your natural defenses. It would help you and your hair... ------------- |

I could tell you but i'm trying to get a patent on the discovery I made. On tip though make sure your saw palmetto doesnt have any selenium in it. Selenium in high amounts has been know to cause shedding; hair loss |

Do you eat a lot of sushi? Like, several times a week? I read a news story that heavy metal contamination in certain ocean fish (salmon, especially) has been diagnosed in people after they went to their doctors complaining of hair loss. ------------- 
Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask? |

HMMMMMMMMM. started a regiman which contains saw palmetto and have had good results so far. Nothing great yet as it has not been that long but shedding has definately slowed down from BEFORE I was trying anything ------------- |

YIKES Since my last post I started shedding hair FASTTTTTTTTTTTT. I kept trying to stick it out thinking my body was readjusting but figured I'd be BALD by Christmas if I didn't try something different. I stopped taking the saw plametto and within a few days th shedding is way back down !!!!!!!!! ------------- |

Hey there Nosferatu et all. Sounds like you could be Interested In a new ionized natural mineral suppliment I've been on the last four months. I take It for hair growth and healthy hair as well as In place of a multi vitimin. Not a miracle suppliment but slowely & surely It's working for me ... was prescribed by my Naturopath. If any of you folks are Interested I can share Info If you wish.
