Pumpkin seed oil turns down how much DHT your body makes in the first place — so there's less of it to attack your roots.
Saw palmetto works differently: it blocks the DHT that's already made from reaching the root at all.
Take pumpkin seed oil alone, and DHT can still sneak through the back door. Add saw palmetto, and both doors are covered.
Once DHT stops attacking the root, the follicle gets a real chance to recover — the same way it would if nothing had been suppressing it in the first place.
That's what NutraEssence pairs together — 2,000mg pumpkin seed oil with 200mg saw palmetto.
