Saw Palmetto extract is derived from a palm tree native to the Southeastern United States. This botanical helps keep androgen levels in balance by Inhibiting the enzyme 5-α-reductase, which converts androgenic hormones into DHT. Excess DHT can cause abnormal hair growth (on face), and hair thinning (on head), and triggers an overproduction of sebum which leads to acne. By detoxing excess androgen hormones, inflammation is reduced and healthy antioxidant levels are restored which improves overall hair health for fuller, denser, thicker-looking hair.
