I’ve been taking a saw palmetto since Feb. Subjectively, I think my part line is improving and my hair feels thicker. Objectively, I don’t have to take a mass of hair out of my hairbrush every other day anymore. Objectively, my hair is growing faster.I’m writing this in April.
Yes I heard my name being called a few times!! :) I think after the second time I heard my name called, i noticed some dark hairs literally growing in!! ;)
Ran across your video, I'm 56 yr. wm, my hair as always been thin, for the past year or so, really thinning out, so I'm going to give Saw Palmetto a try. after a month or so, I will come back and give feedback. thank you again for sharing.
Thank you for posting - very informative. I am entering the 60 years young age and although my hair is getting thin it is not falling not is it graying. Will consider taking saw palmetto. First time listening and viewing your video and you are great: very soft spoken.
Hey Leslie thanks much for throwing light about saw palmetto specially for pcod and pcod. Also I wanted to ask you apart from hair thinning and grey does this also work as anti ageing remedy for skin.
OMG, I hope this helps me! I'm 52 and I've had a low thyroid and PCOs since my teens. I used to have SO MUCH hair and I keep loosing more and more where I'm scare of washing it for all the hair I loose every time I do. My hair is also 90% white and been trying to give up hair coloring and just going all silver. I just learned about Saw Plametto today and your video is the second one I run into. Is there a better brand of Saw Palmetto? Which one do you recommend? And thank you SO SO much! More than reversing my gray (which would be nice but I'm almost all white at this point), I'm more interested on not losing the thin hair I have left. God bless!!!
@@LesliesNewPrime I'm in the US, thank you so much! Yes, I got my thyroid checked recently and have a new synthroid dose. Will look into those brands to try the saw palmetto. I might also ask my Doctor. Thanks again!
@@LesliesNewPrime Wow, thank you so much for all this information! You think your Doctor would be doing the right thing for you but they have so many patients I'm sure many times you don't get exactly what you need. I'm going to save some of this information and compare it to my thyroid blood work results. I was in a generic thyroid medicine and we went back to Synthroid, which she said is better. I wonder if she would prescribe the natural brands too. I am going through menopause too but I have been loosing hair for about 10 years now. Thanks for your help!
Everyone has to decide whether or not it is good for them. When I was younger I took Saw Palmetto and it had a good effect on my health. But now I have started to take Saw Palmetto again in my mid 50s. Well the exact opposite is happening. I have noticed negative side effects such as lessening of libido and appetite increase as well as tiredness. I knew something was wrong and I think I have now narrowed it to Saw Palmetto. It is amazing how sometimes a supplement can help and then before a person knows it can have really nasty side effects.
You are so beautiful!! Like really wow.. I appreciate that you covered this topic. Ive been watching videos about dht.. I want to prevent hair loss. My hair is thinning and Im only 24 female. I want to use saw palmetto. But the only available ones are supplements.. There are no topical treatments available in my country.
Vitamin D3 (not D2) a hormone in it's own right, is also great for hair thickness, growth and slowing graying. It increases testosterone naturally. And balances other hormones. It also increases telomeres length (anti-aging). I take 10,000 iu per day.
@@LesliesNewPrime Oh definitely, I am aware of the goldilocks value of D3. 60-80 ng/mL is the sweet spot. That said, as a black male, I was extremely deficient 4 ng/mL in 2015, and being a vegan, have been taking 10,000 IU per day ever since. When I go below (10,000) (i.e. tried only 5,000 per day), I notice a difference. I feel optimal on 10,000 IU per day. We must listen to our bodies and response. I also like Rhonda Patrick, she does vit D research as well ruclips.net/video/uc815fQn8iY/видео.html
@@LesliesNewPrime In my research I also use the following guidelines for Vitamin D3: 100 ng/ml Excess According to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4821095/ In 2011, a community-based study with 3,667 subjects reported that dosing with 10,000 IU/day was safe, with no reported serum 25(OH)D level >200 ng/mL.[17] With 4,000 IU/day of D3 given for 1 year in two studies, no adverse effect due to vitamin D supplementation was reported,[18,19] and mean serum 25(OH)D levels after 12 months were 66ng/mL and 67 ng/mL. In a 10-year population study, the incidence of serum 25(OH)D values >50 ng/mL increased significantly without a corresponding increase in serum calcium values or with the risk of hypercalcemia.[20] As recently summarized by Hossein-Nezhad and Holick, “serum 25(OH)D levels are usually markedly elevated (>150 ng/ml) in individuals with vitamin D intoxication,”[21] and daily doses of vitamin D3 up to 10,000 IU were safe in healthy males.[15,16] Again, as we can agree, we must listen to our bodies.
@@LesliesNewPrime Bingo. You said it. I too believe Vitamin D deficiency is making some more susceptible to Covid19. Unfortunately, most doctors (in US) tell patients to only take 600 IU daily. Way too low.
Hi Leslie, really enjoying your videos. I'm really intrigued with Liposonal Glutathione but I am also interested in Catalase. Would using both be beneficial or should I just stay with one first. Thanks!
Hi Leslie: I just came across you and this video and this is very interesting. I’m wondering if there would be any interaction between Saw Palmetto and HRT? Thank you!
Hi Leslie! I was just wondering what was the list of vitamins that you personally take? Would organic blackstrap molasses and a multivitamin work to supplement all the required vitamins needed? Along with a healthy diet of course.
Leslie, you mentioned in a video that Spermidine must be in lipids. Could you expand on this idea further. If taken with olive oil would that be suffice as the lipids you talked about.
Thank you for posting all your videos regarding grey hair on your amazing RUclips channel. I notice you mentioned Saw Palmetto and thinning hair. I don't wont thin hair. I have full head of grey hair which I dislike. I am a Black American Man in my late 40's. I hear drinking a lot of fresh water helps. Would Saw Palmetto be ok for me too ? Let me know please ?
Just bought Saw Palmetto and Foti from Swanson after watching your videos. A few questions..How long after using SP and Fo-ti did you start seeing a difference in hair growth and gray reversal? I am almost 45 and I have noticed my periods have been irregular or not come through at times (obviously going through peri-menopause). Occasionally I have used Maca root and Vitex together (up to 2 days the most) to induce my period on time if I know it's about to come and hasn't yet. Wondering if you knw of any interactions with Saw Palmetto or Fo-ti? Also is it necessary to buy L-Glutathione (it's a bit pricey) if the Saw Palmetto has the ability to increase the catalase enzyme? And maybe another topic you can talk about, maintaining or weight loss strategies in middle age?
@@LesliesNewPrime thank you Leslie for that. I'm 44, will be 45 in March and I just noticed that as I'm getting older things are really starting to change and it's a bit depressing. I actually messaged you on several videos you created. I actually had a complete thyroidectomy after having my daughter who's now 10. I had been diagnosed with Graves, but had a huge goiter that was growing. In any case I'm on Unithroid 224mcg daily, which is alot, and I feel my endocrinologist is doing a great job of being really on top of it. I'll keep you posted on my progress but how long did it take you, even with the glutathione to see results?
@@LesliesNewPrime thank you for the suggestion. I WILL definitely look into discussing other options with him. I am sry to ask again since I didn't see an answer. Roughly how long did it take to see changes in the reversal of the gray hair and thinning hair?
First time I’ve seen your video Leslie. I suffer a bit of male spot baldness on top of my head. I heard about Saw Plametto and starting taking them last week and now decided to make a topical solution of it mixed with it with pumpkin seed oil and crushed biotin and vitamin B tablets to see if that taking both orally and topically can speed up the process. Can it speed it up and how long could it take before I see results?
Please can you kindly give recommendations for vegetarians too. I’m age 50 and still have regular periods and I want to know what I should start with to reverse the grey hair and anti aging. Which should I start off with. Kindly advise.
Dear Leslie I am experiencing hair thinking from what it used to be, my hair has always been dry and hair produced a small amount of oil, having gone threw meneses stopping my hair now produces a lot of oils! It's been a big change and my hair seems to be thinning. Is it probable that saw palmento could help? It is also going grey as I am 55 now and I assume that is natural aging but no one likes going grey. I have also heard that saw palmento could help with less facial hair which also used to not be here! And I hate shaving above my lip!
@ Leslie Ling Li, Could you please explain what you mean by the term "upregulate"? I don't quite understand what you mean by saw palmetto UPREGULATES glutathione and catalase activity. Does saw palmetto SOMEHOW help increase the potency? Or what? HOW does saw palmetto help?
good day madam, can i ask a question? i’m planning to use saw palmetto for my hair by the way i’m 29 years old now. questions. 1.can i use saw palmetto while on my rf treatment for my face and prp injection for my hair. 2.can i combine saw palmetto with collagen vitamin and biotin suppliment? 3.does saw palmetto increase gynecomastia in male? 4.can my hair regrowth when i take the saw palmetto? thank you madam.
Hi Lesley, i just want to ask you, is it okay to take Saw Palmetto even though i don't have thin hair ? my only concern is my grey hair. I am 33 and i would say 50% of my hair is grey. :(
@@LesliesNewPrime Hi Lesley, thank you so much for taking the time to reply back. I had my blood test a few months ago due to tiredness . My blood test came back and doctor told me everything is okay. They did not mention in particular. You are right, I definitely have been thinking about, stressed out and frustrated at times. I have been taking vitamin called Perfectil for hair skin and nails , I noticed my hair is thicker but I dont see changes in the color. Shall I start molasses today ? Or start with one at the time first to see the differences?
I have had my iron, thyroid and B12 checked. I remember the doctor said thyroid was okay. Oh, I did not check my Vitamin d3 . I will try it out for 6 months and focus in getting my energy back . If my grey hair is still there , I am happy to try Glutahioneand and NAC. Are these safe to take too?
@@LesliesNewPrime I dont remember if I had copper and zinc checked . Maybe I should just do the full blood count as it has been a few months. :( I just want to say you look amazing for your age!! Your skin and your hair looks so soft and I can't believe you a lot of grey hair. 😍😍
@@LesliesNewPrime oh gosh, you sure know how to look after yourself. I wish I look as fresh as you without make up. 😭 You are so right, sleep and eating right is the key! Today is my day 3 of using molasses, I will continue to take this for 6months. (Perhaps ,I should dye my first as I'm all greyed out and will be back to work pretty soon. 😅😂) After this lock down, I will book to see my doctor and get it looked at. Is it okay if I contacted you for updates?
Thanks for the up dates how can l use the Saw palmetto berries for the hair, l have the the berries, but now how to use it, or how to infuse it with other oils. Please let me know. From Cameroon.
Hi. Would Liposomal Glutathione turn already gray hairs black or is it only effective as a preventative measure, meaning it's only effective for preventing future gray hairs?
@@LesliesNewPrime Don't pretty much ALL your hairs on your head grow out at approximately half an inch per month, give or take? If you look at where women who bleach their hair blonde part their hair, it is VERY noticeable to see their natural hair color a few weeks after they bleached it.
i; just 34 years old i have a hair loss since i was 23 years old but im not bald but the problem is that my hair is turning grey so so fat have vitamin d calcium and magnezium defficiency .i will try saw palmetto thank u but how much time can i see the result if not i think it will not work for me .thank u
Hi Leslie, thank you for the interesting video. I am on HRT. My gynaecologist included a small dose of bioidentical testosterone on discovering I have osteopenia (bone scan) and negligible testosterone (blood test). He explained testosterone is necessary to prevent osteoporosis in women. I would be interested to know if there is any research on Saw Palmetto and bone loss i.e. could taking Saw Palmetto increase bone loss bc testosterone helps to protect bone density? Incidentally, I am very interested as I am also treated for male pattern hair thinning and had acne in the past (androgen sensitive). I have to presently use prescription drops from my trichologist to protect my hair follicles. All expensive. I would be interested in more natural solutions. I do resistance exercises, and I.T. btw.
Leslie Ling Li Hi Leslie, thank you for your reply. and the study. That’s very interesting. I’ll just clarify I didn’t have PCOS but did have acne through all my young adult life and early 30s. I ended up on the anti-androgen Dianette, (risks not fully appreciated then, luckily I didn’t smoke) then I had beautiful clear skin. My trichologist advises my hair thinning is hereditary. I have bi-annual bloodwork for hormones, D and iron. This shows normal thyroid hormones to date. What’s interesting is that my hair shed excessively after my 3rd baby. (I had 3 babies in 2 years as my first 2 were twins. I was healthy and had good pregnancies with zero complications but I had a lot of fertility help to have them all). I have wondered too...if my testosterone is so low how come my hair follicles shrunk. They did significantly, I had a couple of bald patches even at the temples. Now thanks to the drops I use from my trichologist my hair is full and thick again. As mentioned, I would like to get to the underlying health situation. Intuitively I feel adrenals have a link. I have been and often am exhausted. I started going grey in my 30s. Like you I’ve had some traumatic family history. Thank you Leslie for all you’re doing.
Leslie Ling Hi Leslie, Dianette is primarily an anti-androgen medication. Because it would harm a fetus it is also a contraceptive. It’s not that I had too much testosterone, more that I have inherited hyper-sensitive androgen receptors. I ought to have mentioned that my hair had already thinned before I became pregnant the first time. I was already under the care of my trichologist. The male pattern thinning I have is insidious, and apparently by taking the Dianette I had slowed/delayed the thinning. Anxiety in the past must have exacerbated the hair loss. I had to stop trichology treatment when pregnant and was fine until I stopped breastfeeding (the hormones of pregnancy and feeding protect the hair loss), then after the thinning returned and very much so after my 3rd baby - literally had ‘post partum shedding’ and then some. I’m back to my full head of hair thanks to the scalp drops, which incidentally have been approved for breast cancer patients as they are very low risk. They cover themselves though not allowing use in pregnancy and also you don’t need them then as the ph hormones protect against hair loss. I use 3M drops from Philip Kingsley. They are a mix including a little minoxidil along with the anti-male hormone solution. They work incredibly well. I have tried natural solutions before including acupuncture and fresh Chinese herbs (boiled them) from a Chinese doctor, also for infertility, it felt like fumbling in the dark and despite trying for a couple of years it didn’t work for me on the hair or natural fertility front although I did feel better. I enjoyed the ritual and me time. I would love now to be under the care of a functional allopathic doctor. Finding one in the UK, preferably London, is not easy. I’m not sure there would be any point having virtual consultations with a doctor in the US as there is a barrier for prescriptions. It’s a pleasure conversing with you here Leslie. I very rarely comment on RUclips. You I feel are rather special. Sending warmest wishes.
I currently take Dimm and spironolactone. Anyone taking these and adding saw palmetto? Dimm has helped with sleep though I am not well rested still. Both have helped with acne but not to the degree I want.
Hi , sorry 4 my bad english My blood report is testastrone is high and dhea is high pcosand vitamine d is on 8 and am taking medicine for that right now is 24 i have lot of hair loss from front i lost my hair all over scalp is visible specialy front can i take saw palmetto unmerried 26 year old Thnks
I’m unclear about this h2o2 bleaching the hair from the inside out…. Only the hair on my head is bleached. All my hair everywhere else is still very very dark. Not sure why that would be if this is systemic?
My dhea is on the low side so I take dhea under the tongue now. Can I take saw palmetto to prevent hairloss from the dhea? I am a 40 year old woman. Thank you.
Hi, I'm a female taking Saw Palmetto for Androgenetic Alopecia. I don't think they've had a study on this, but do you think theoretically a woman can take 160 mg. Once a day, instead of twice a day and benefit as much as men who take it twice a day, since we as women who don't have as much testosterone (I don't have PCOS) in our bodies?
@@jasminelanders3177 I decided on taking the amount men take. My hair is much better now, but I think it's doing better from red light therapy and spraying green tea on it. That's when I saw most of my hair improvement in regrowth.
@@rachelsmename6 I have to look up the red light therapy but I will try green tea in a spray bottle and thanks I’m gonna finally take one , I was scared since people were saying it just for me. I thought I was gonna have too much testosterone or something

Hello madam... I am from India.. I am now aged 42 years.. But my hair is thick black and I think only 2 to 3 % of white hair started... And some of the video I have seen they have suggested to take methionine supplement.. But previous last two months have been using catalase supplement from a brand name catalase 5000 but due to lockdown I am not getting it.. But I have used catalase for 2 months.. Pls suggest me madam.. What I have to use.. Means I have to use both glutotheione and catalase together if so pls suggest me madam.. And if I have to use how long have to be used.. Pls pls suggest me.. Because I have seen u have research proved one of ur video.. Because I have to retain the same black Colour of my hair.. Pls pls pls suggest me madam...
What Leslie is saying is that there are other means to increase catalase in the body, which will break down hydrogen peroxide. Those other products are MSM, curcumin, and of course saw palmetto. Those products also increase glutathione. Make sure you partake in some form of exercise because that in itself increases both glutathione an catalase. If you are watching Leslie's videos and subscribing to her newsletter, you are literally in front of GOLD! She is VERY good at what she does, probably the BEST I have seen!
Thank you.. Both of u.... For ur information... I am a stress free man and I do workout everyday from several years.. And I am very fit in both physically as well as mentally... Tq so much... If u still finally would like to suggest or provide information I am very greatfull for both of u.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Finally... One last thing I would like to ask.. Many options I have confused.. Dear madam.. If u would think I am ur brother what could u suggest one thing... I believe u... Thanks for everything... And its crucial time everybody facing COVID-19.. Be safe and take care...
@@LesliesNewPrime sure... But akka( means in language called kannada its elder sister).. I have get those product online.. Now its not possible due to lockdown.. As soon as it clears I will order for
Thanks for reply. I'm 40 male using glutathione and b complex and d3 for last 3+ years. Only thing is spermidine which i remember you said contain in cheese. Which i also eating alot. Still seeing no results 😔
The ones you have linked contain gelatine capsules. i cant have geltaine due to religious reasons. Can I open up the capsule and pour it into a drink and use like that?
@@LesliesNewPrime Firstly, I'm truly humbled by your lengthy reply. I wonder if you'll spoil us with this much attention when you hit 1 million subs :) You're right, I've come across contradicting reports; some suggest it boosts fertility and others the opposite. I didn't know about the male fetus studies. Thank you for sharing that as well as the Italian paper. Here is the source that initiated my inquiry: www.webmd.com/men/prostate-enlargement-bph/qa/what-are-the-side-effects-of-saw-palmetto
@@LesliesNewPrime Sorry for my late reply. Thank you again for your generous response. I actually took Rise-N-Shine's "Go Away Gray" supplements for about 4 months to help primarily with the color in my beard and some minimal grey on my head. Those contain saw palmetto among other ingredients. I didn't notice any particular effects, positive or negative. Around the fourth month I saw the WebMD article and the following sentence particularly scared me: "Some people have reported that saw palmetto causes impotence." As I'd like to have my own family one day, I immediately stopped taking the supplement. By the way, I still have the same amount of grey in my beard and I shave weekly. I don't believe it's genetic as none of my brothers have any grey and we are close in age. I'm not sure whether it's bad diet (though I've been eating a lot of veggies for the last few years now) or it was because I went through a lot of stress during my post-secondary education and early part of my career. In your opinion, do you think I should resume the supplement or try an alternative approach?
@@LesliesNewPrime Thank you so much. Perhaps you are right regarding the genetics. I'd like to retry the catalase supplement again, but am hesitant due to the saw palmetto content and it's supposed infertility side effect (if it is indeed true). Though as you mentioned, there seems to be mixed consesus on whether it actually re-vitalizes or diminishes male fertility. Anyway, glutothione and catalase seem to both have similar benefits, at least with respect to hair color. Which of them has been more beneficial in your experience? Have you also looked at alternatives for hair color restoration like wheatgrass juice and eclipta alba (false daisy)? There is anecdotal evidence that both have some positive effect on restoring hair color: www.reddit.com/r/herbalism/comments/g41yk8/wheatgrass_and_other_supplements_for_gray_hair/ Would love to hear your thoughts.
Hey there Leslie. Thank you again for your generous response. False daisy can both be applied externally or taken orally, as demonstrated by this product: www.amazon.com/nature-Bhringaraj-Eclipta-Prostrata-Natural/dp/B073VJPCTN/ (Note: I've never ordered it, so I can't comment on it's effectiveness). Thank you for the clarification regarding glutothione and catalase. Based on those findings you noted, it makes sense to be taking either glutothione or a precursor. NAC supplementation seems to make the most sense, as that ensures glutothione is present in the liver. Have you looked into the side effects of taking NAC, such as the following study?: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24898644/ Did you take wheat grass juice in isolation or was it accompanied by other supplements and was it effective? There are many powered wheat grass supplements on Amazon, which might be the easiest option for procurement. By the way, your subscriber count seems to have really grown over the past few months. In fact, it seems to be outpacing the stock market. So congrats on that!
Thanks again Leslie. Perhaps with nothing else to do, people are being more critical about their looks during lock down. Yes, please let me know your endocrinologist's thoughts on that study. It is very specific and may not be applicable to most. It looks like you were doing a lot at once, so it's difficult to isolate the effect each had. I have a couple of questions that I've numbered, if your time allows. (1) If you don't mind me asking, did any of the above help in your intended restoration? (2) Between NAC and glutothione, which would you recommend to start with first in the absence of blood work? (I prefer not to try both simultaneously so I can what is more effective.) (3) Does either have any severe medical side effects that you are aware of, such as cancer? You might recall you mentioned I might have a genetic predisposition in not producing as much glutothione as my brothers. The only thing is that it is mostly my beard that is heavily grey. The hair on my scalp is only about 2% grey and the rest is naturally colored. (4) What are your thoughts on this anomaly? Sorry for all the questions!
Saw palmetto is helping me tremendously with PMDD and brain fog (by reducing Allopregnanolone) The acne reducing is a big plus as well!

Hi Leslie, really enjoying your videos. I'm really intrigued with Liposonal Glutathione but I am also interested in Catalase. Would using both be beneficial or should I just stay with one first. Thanks!
Thanks for your reply! I will look into trying NAC then. Have you see anything that is topical or what the Yao women do?
Love your video Leslie ive ordered saw product also can u just say yes or no to? Can i take my Nac b4 sleep is it ok?? Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😆
Hi Leslie: I just came across you and this video and this is very interesting. I’m wondering if there would be any interaction between Saw Palmetto and HRT? Thank you!
You can safely take it along with HRT. Highly recommended.
Hi Leslie! I was just wondering what was the list of vitamins that you personally take? Would organic blackstrap molasses and a multivitamin work to supplement all the required vitamins needed? Along with a healthy diet of course.
You have more baby orbs flying around you than I've ever seen! Wow!
Yes, it's AWESOME!
What’s a baby orb?
That’s dust

Leslie, you mentioned in a video that Spermidine must be in lipids. Could you expand on this idea further. If taken with olive oil would that be suffice as the lipids you talked about.
Thank you for posting all your videos regarding grey hair on your amazing RUclips channel. I notice you mentioned Saw Palmetto and thinning hair. I don't wont thin hair. I have full head of grey hair which I dislike. I am a Black American Man in my late 40's. I hear drinking a lot of fresh water helps. Would Saw Palmetto be ok for me too ? Let me know please ?
gosh.... i love your videos
Great info!
Just bought Saw Palmetto and Foti from Swanson after watching your videos. A few questions..How long after using SP and Fo-ti did you start seeing a difference in hair growth and gray reversal? I am almost 45 and I have noticed my periods have been irregular or not come through at times (obviously going through peri-menopause). Occasionally I have used Maca root and Vitex together (up to 2 days the most) to induce my period on time if I know it's about to come and hasn't yet. Wondering if you knw of any interactions with Saw Palmetto or Fo-ti? Also is it necessary to buy L-Glutathione (it's a bit pricey) if the Saw Palmetto has the ability to increase the catalase enzyme? And maybe another topic you can talk about, maintaining or weight loss strategies in middle age?
@@LesliesNewPrime thank you Leslie for that. I'm 44, will be 45 in March and I just noticed that as I'm getting older things are really starting to change and it's a bit depressing. I actually messaged you on several videos you created. I actually had a complete thyroidectomy after having my daughter who's now 10. I had been diagnosed with Graves, but had a huge goiter that was growing. In any case I'm on Unithroid 224mcg daily, which is alot, and I feel my endocrinologist is doing a great job of being really on top of it. I'll keep you posted on my progress but how long did it take you, even with the glutathione to see results?
@@LesliesNewPrime thank you for the suggestion. I WILL definitely look into discussing other options with him. I am sry to ask again since I didn't see an answer. Roughly how long did it take to see changes in the reversal of the gray hair and thinning hair?
Amazon links or links generally would be fabulous :D Thank you
Hello mam
My age is 33 .my hair turning grey ...kindly tell me the solution for reversing the grey hair
yes it works i am using it already for three months
First time I’ve seen your video Leslie. I suffer a bit of male spot baldness on top of my head. I heard about Saw Plametto and starting taking them last week and now decided to make a topical solution of it mixed with it with pumpkin seed oil and crushed biotin and vitamin B tablets to see if that taking both orally and topically can speed up the process. Can it speed it up and how long could it take before I see results?
If I were you I'd start using Pure castor oil after every shower and keep doing that everyday that's exactly how I grew my hairline back
thank you now i will buy saw palmetto
thank you so much God Bless you
@@LesliesNewPrime
Thanku💕 for talking abt hypothyroid which started my hair loss. Even d thyrox tablet is causing hairloss & constipation. Im Indian 40F
Hi Leslie hope ur doing good , I want to use saw palmetto bt I'm confused that will it make my hair fall more if I stop using it after 3-4 months
hiii :)
what if we dont have pcos? can we take sae Palmetto? or will it mess up our hormones ?
Please can you kindly give recommendations for vegetarians too. I’m age 50 and still have regular periods and I want to know what I should start with to reverse the grey hair and anti aging. Which should I start off with. Kindly advise.
😊 I see orbs lying around you. 🙏🏽
Dear Leslie I am experiencing hair thinking from what it used to be, my hair has always been dry and hair produced a small amount of oil, having gone threw meneses stopping my hair now produces a lot of oils! It's been a big change and my hair seems to be thinning. Is it probable that saw palmento could help? It is also going grey as I am 55 now and I assume that is natural aging but no one likes going grey. I have also heard that saw palmento could help with less facial hair which also used to not be here! And I hate shaving above my lip!
@ Leslie Ling Li, Could you please explain what you mean by the term "upregulate"? I don't quite understand what you mean by saw palmetto UPREGULATES glutathione and catalase activity. Does saw palmetto SOMEHOW help increase the potency? Or what? HOW does saw palmetto help?
good day madam, can i ask a question?
i’m planning to use saw palmetto for my hair by the way i’m 29 years old now.
questions.
1.can i use saw palmetto while on my rf treatment for my face and prp injection for my hair.
2.can i combine saw palmetto with collagen vitamin and biotin suppliment?
3.does saw palmetto increase gynecomastia in male?
4.can my hair regrowth when i take the saw palmetto?
thank you madam.
Any side effects taking saw palmetto for men? I heard its lowers the testosterone levels and sometimes makes erectile dysfunction?
it is ok to take 160mg per day of saw palmetto? just for the hair only
i’m 28 of age/male.
thank you for the answer madam.
I would like to know if taking saw palmetto, works for skin, reducing wrinkles in women?
Hi Lesley, i just want to ask you, is it okay to take Saw Palmetto even though i don't have thin hair ? my only concern is my grey hair. I am 33 and i would say 50% of my hair is grey. :(
@@LesliesNewPrime Hi Lesley, thank you so much for taking the time to reply back.
I had my blood test a few months ago due to tiredness . My blood test came back and doctor told me everything is okay. They did not mention in particular.
You are right, I definitely have been thinking about, stressed out and frustrated at times.
I have been taking vitamin called Perfectil for hair skin and nails , I noticed my hair is thicker but I dont see changes in the color. Shall I start molasses today ? Or start with one at the time first to see the differences?
I have had my iron, thyroid and B12 checked. I remember the doctor said thyroid was okay. Oh, I did not check my Vitamin d3 . I will try it out for 6 months and focus in getting my energy back . If my grey hair is still there , I am happy to try Glutahioneand and NAC. Are these safe to take too?
Hi Lesley,doctor said my B12 and iron are okay but that was a few months ago. Shall I request for another blood test just to be on the safe side? X
@@LesliesNewPrime I dont remember if I had copper and zinc checked . Maybe I should just do the full blood count as it has been a few months. :(
I just want to say you look amazing for your age!! Your skin and your hair looks so soft and I can't believe you a lot of grey hair. 😍😍
@@LesliesNewPrime oh gosh, you sure know how to look after yourself. I wish I look as fresh as you without make up. 😭 You are so right, sleep and eating right is the key!
Today is my day 3 of using molasses, I will continue to take this for 6months. (Perhaps ,I should dye my first as I'm all greyed out and will be back to work pretty soon. 😅😂)
After this lock down, I will book to see my doctor and get it looked at. Is it okay if I contacted you for updates?
So can hormone replacement help hair loss, thinning, and shine?
Thanks for the up dates how can l use the Saw palmetto berries for the hair, l have the the berries, but now how to use it, or how to infuse it with other oils. Please let me know. From Cameroon.
@@LesliesNewPrime thanks l tried eating them but they tested some how l can really tell. Can l make tea with it.
Hello!! Does saw palmetto help with facial hair in women with pcos?
Hi. Would Liposomal Glutathione turn already gray hairs black or is it only effective as a preventative measure, meaning it's only effective for preventing future gray hairs?
???? Very good question
@@LesliesNewPrime Thank you
@@LesliesNewPrime Don't pretty much ALL your hairs on your head grow out at approximately half an inch per month, give or take? If you look at where women who bleach their hair blonde part their hair, it is VERY noticeable to see their natural hair color a few weeks after they bleached it.
How is saw palmetto topically used. I read that it is not soluble in water.

i; just 34 years old i have a hair loss since i was 23 years old but im not bald but the problem is that my hair is turning grey so so fat have vitamin d calcium and magnezium defficiency .i will try saw palmetto thank u but how much time can i see the result if not i think it will not work for me .thank u
Hi Leslie, thank you for the interesting video. I am on HRT. My gynaecologist included a small dose of bioidentical testosterone on discovering I have osteopenia (bone scan) and negligible testosterone (blood test). He explained testosterone is necessary to prevent osteoporosis in women. I would be interested to know if there is any research on Saw Palmetto and bone loss i.e. could taking Saw Palmetto increase bone loss bc testosterone helps to protect bone density? Incidentally, I am very interested as I am also treated for male pattern hair thinning and had acne in the past (androgen sensitive). I have to presently use prescription drops from my trichologist to protect my hair follicles. All expensive. I would be interested in more natural solutions. I do resistance exercises, and I.T. btw.
Leslie Ling Li Hi Leslie, thank you for your reply. and the study. That’s very interesting. I’ll just clarify I didn’t have PCOS but did have acne through all my young adult life and early 30s. I ended up on the anti-androgen Dianette, (risks not fully appreciated then, luckily I didn’t smoke) then I had beautiful clear skin. My trichologist advises my hair thinning is hereditary. I have bi-annual bloodwork for hormones, D and iron. This shows normal thyroid hormones to date. What’s interesting is that my hair shed excessively after my 3rd baby. (I had 3 babies in 2 years as my first 2 were twins. I was healthy and had good pregnancies with zero complications but I had a lot of fertility help to have them all). I have wondered too...if my testosterone is so low how come my hair follicles shrunk. They did significantly, I had a couple of bald patches even at the temples. Now thanks to the drops I use from my trichologist my hair is full and thick again. As mentioned, I would like to get to the underlying health situation. Intuitively I feel adrenals have a link. I have been and often am exhausted. I started going grey in my 30s. Like you I’ve had some traumatic family history. Thank you Leslie for all you’re doing.
Leslie Ling Hi Leslie, Dianette is primarily an anti-androgen medication. Because it would harm a fetus it is also a contraceptive. It’s not that I had too much testosterone, more that I have inherited hyper-sensitive androgen receptors.
I ought to have mentioned that my hair had already thinned before I became pregnant the first time. I was already under the care of my trichologist. The male pattern thinning I have is insidious, and apparently by taking the Dianette I had slowed/delayed the thinning. Anxiety in the past must have exacerbated the hair loss. I had to stop trichology treatment when pregnant and was fine until I stopped breastfeeding (the hormones of pregnancy and feeding protect the hair loss), then after the thinning returned and very much so after my 3rd baby - literally had ‘post partum shedding’ and then some. I’m back to my full head of hair thanks to the scalp drops, which incidentally have been approved for breast cancer patients as they are very low risk. They cover themselves though not allowing use in pregnancy and also you don’t need them then as the ph hormones protect against hair loss.
I use 3M drops from Philip Kingsley. They are a mix including a little minoxidil along with the anti-male hormone solution. They work incredibly well. I have tried natural solutions before including acupuncture and fresh Chinese herbs (boiled them) from a Chinese doctor, also for infertility, it felt like fumbling in the dark and despite trying for a couple of years it didn’t work for me on the hair or natural fertility front although I did feel better. I enjoyed the ritual and me time.
I would love now to be under the care of a functional allopathic doctor. Finding one in the UK, preferably London, is not easy. I’m not sure there would be any point having virtual consultations with a doctor in the US as there is a barrier for prescriptions.
It’s a pleasure conversing with you here Leslie. I very rarely comment on RUclips. You I feel are rather special. Sending warmest wishes.
I currently take Dimm and spironolactone. Anyone taking these and adding saw palmetto? Dimm has helped with sleep though I am not well rested still. Both have helped with acne but not to the degree I want.
Hi , sorry 4 my bad english

I’m unclear about this h2o2 bleaching the hair from the inside out…. Only the hair on my head is bleached. All my hair everywhere else is still very very dark. Not sure why that would be if this is systemic?
I'm currently taking paw palmetto 160 mg . How much do I need to take
My dhea is on the low side so I take dhea under the tongue now. Can I take saw palmetto to prevent hairloss from the dhea? I am a 40 year old woman. Thank you.
Leslie Ling Li thank you!!
I think DHEA is very different to DHT
I take DHEA 2 times a week as im 48 peri menopause and it promote extra hair I believe .
Whoah! Loads of orbs.
Hi, I'm a female taking Saw Palmetto for Androgenetic Alopecia. I don't think they've had a study on this, but do you think theoretically a woman can take 160 mg. Once a day, instead of twice a day and benefit as much as men who take it twice a day, since we as women who don't have as much testosterone (I don't have PCOS) in our bodies?
Thank you!
Has it helped in growing your hair back?
@@jasminelanders3177 I decided on taking the amount men take. My hair is much better now, but I think it's doing better from red light therapy and spraying green tea on it. That's when I saw most of my hair improvement in regrowth.
@@rachelsmename6 I have to look up the red light therapy but I will try green tea in a spray bottle and thanks I’m gonna finally take one , I was scared since people were saying it just for me. I thought I was gonna have too much testosterone or something

Hello madam... I am from India.. I am now aged 42 years.. But my hair is thick black and I think only 2 to 3 % of white hair started... And some of the video I have seen they have suggested to take methionine supplement.. But previous last two months have been using catalase supplement from a brand name catalase 5000 but due to lockdown I am not getting it.. But I have used catalase for 2 months.. Pls suggest me madam.. What I have to use.. Means I have to use both glutotheione and catalase together if so pls suggest me madam.. And if I have to use how long have to be used.. Pls pls suggest me.. Because I have seen u have research proved one of ur video.. Because I have to retain the same black Colour of my hair.. Pls pls pls suggest me madam...
What Leslie is saying is that there are other means to increase catalase in the body, which will break down hydrogen peroxide. Those other products are MSM, curcumin, and of course saw palmetto. Those products also increase glutathione. Make sure you partake in some form of exercise because that in itself increases both glutathione an catalase. If you are watching Leslie's videos and subscribing to her newsletter, you are literally in front of GOLD! She is VERY good at what she does, probably the BEST I have seen!
Thank you.. Both of u.... For ur information... I am a stress free man and I do workout everyday from several years.. And I am very fit in both physically as well as mentally... Tq so much... If u still finally would like to suggest or provide information I am very greatfull for both of u.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Pls reapeat the name salfa mata
Can I take only NAC ?
Leslie Ling Li Leslie, do you recommend taking brew yeast tablets regularly ????? thank you in advance
The ones you have linked contain gelatine capsules. i cant have geltaine due to religious reasons. Can I open up the capsule and pour it into a drink and use like that?
There are vegetarian versions available, which would you recommend for UK please?
Have seen some that say high strength 3000mg. Would that be ok to take? Sounds like a lot compared to the 2 tablets of 160mg that you said?
Leslie Ling Li thanks so much, I’ll have a look
Leslie Ling Li oh right I see. Thanks so much
There is some research that suggests saw palmetto can lead to male infertility. Have you across any such information and what are your thoughts?
@@LesliesNewPrime Firstly, I'm truly humbled by your lengthy reply. I wonder if you'll spoil us with this much attention when you hit 1 million subs :) You're right, I've come across contradicting reports; some suggest it boosts fertility and others the opposite. I didn't know about the male fetus studies. Thank you for sharing that as well as the Italian paper. Here is the source that initiated my inquiry: www.webmd.com/men/prostate-enlargement-bph/qa/what-are-the-side-effects-of-saw-palmetto
@@LesliesNewPrime Sorry for my late reply. Thank you again for your generous response. I actually took Rise-N-Shine's "Go Away Gray" supplements for about 4 months to help primarily with the color in my beard and some minimal grey on my head. Those contain saw palmetto among other ingredients. I didn't notice any particular effects, positive or negative. Around the fourth month I saw the WebMD article and the following sentence particularly scared me: "Some people have reported that saw palmetto causes impotence." As I'd like to have my own family one day, I immediately stopped taking the supplement. By the way, I still have the same amount of grey in my beard and I shave weekly. I don't believe it's genetic as none of my brothers have any grey and we are close in age. I'm not sure whether it's bad diet (though I've been eating a lot of veggies for the last few years now) or it was because I went through a lot of stress during my post-secondary education and early part of my career. In your opinion, do you think I should resume the supplement or try an alternative approach?
@@LesliesNewPrime Thank you so much. Perhaps you are right regarding the genetics. I'd like to retry the catalase supplement again, but am hesitant due to the saw palmetto content and it's supposed infertility side effect (if it is indeed true). Though as you mentioned, there seems to be mixed consesus on whether it actually re-vitalizes or diminishes male fertility. Anyway, glutothione and catalase seem to both have similar benefits, at least with respect to hair color. Which of them has been more beneficial in your experience? Have you also looked at alternatives for hair color restoration like wheatgrass juice and eclipta alba (false daisy)? There is anecdotal evidence that both have some positive effect on restoring hair color: www.reddit.com/r/herbalism/comments/g41yk8/wheatgrass_and_other_supplements_for_gray_hair/
Would love to hear your thoughts.
Hey there Leslie. Thank you again for your generous response. False daisy can both be applied externally or taken orally, as demonstrated by this product: www.amazon.com/nature-Bhringaraj-Eclipta-Prostrata-Natural/dp/B073VJPCTN/ (Note: I've never ordered it, so I can't comment on it's effectiveness). Thank you for the clarification regarding glutothione and catalase. Based on those findings you noted, it makes sense to be taking either glutothione or a precursor. NAC supplementation seems to make the most sense, as that ensures glutothione is present in the liver. Have you looked into the side effects of taking NAC, such as the following study?: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24898644/ Did you take wheat grass juice in isolation or was it accompanied by other supplements and was it effective? There are many powered wheat grass supplements on Amazon, which might be the easiest option for procurement. By the way, your subscriber count seems to have really grown over the past few months. In fact, it seems to be outpacing the stock market. So congrats on that!
Thanks again Leslie. Perhaps with nothing else to do, people are being more critical about their looks during lock down. Yes, please let me know your endocrinologist's thoughts on that study. It is very specific and may not be applicable to most. It looks like you were doing a lot at once, so it's difficult to isolate the effect each had. I have a couple of questions that I've numbered, if your time allows. (1) If you don't mind me asking, did any of the above help in your intended restoration? (2) Between NAC and glutothione, which would you recommend to start with first in the absence of blood work? (I prefer not to try both simultaneously so I can what is more effective.) (3) Does either have any severe medical side effects that you are aware of, such as cancer? You might recall you mentioned I might have a genetic predisposition in not producing as much glutothione as my brothers. The only thing is that it is mostly my beard that is heavily grey. The hair on my scalp is only about 2% grey and the rest is naturally colored. (4) What are your thoughts on this anomaly? Sorry for all the questions!
