Saw Palmetto. It acts as an anti-androgen and prevents the conversion of Testoterone to DHT (a much stronger form of T). DHT is what makes the hair on your head fall out and seems to be implicated in prostate problems.
Taking SP seems to stop scalp hair loss and prostate issues. The excess T that is NOT converted to DHT seems to be converted to oestrogen via something called the aromatase reaction.
