Rewarded Review

43-year-old female here. I am on testosterone replacement therapy (androgel) due to an almost non-existent level of testosterone. After about 6 months, I noticed my hair was starting to thin in certain areas, sort of like male pattern baldness. After freaking out, my hormone doctor tested my DHT level and it was 22ng/dl (normal for women is under 20ng/dl). She suggested I take saw palmetto to lower DHT, but didn’t recommend any particular brand. So choosing Dr’s Best was a complete stab in the dark. My hormone doctor said it would take at least 3 months for the saw palmetto to take effect. I had my blood drawn after approximately 2 months on the saw palmetto (taking 1 pill in the AM) and could not believe my DHT number. It went from 22 down to 7!!! I will attempt to attach screen shots of where I started and where I’m at now. I’m very pleased that this supplement appears to be working. My thinning hair spots are starting to fill in, but that’s still going to take some time. One thing I should mention that I changed during this time - I stopped consuming all dairy (for unrelated reasons … I’ve been low carb for 5 years, but started putting on weight and dairy was definitely the big culprit). I’m not sure if dairy can affect DHT, but wanted to provide full disclosure. I hope this review will be helpful to those of you also struggling with high DHT. The lab results are proof enough for me that it’s working, and I could have used this type of information when first making a decision on what supplement to try. Good luck!
