Well, first off....definitely avoid the combo, as you want to test for side effects in anything new...and that would be harder to do with a mixture of the two.
As for SP, I used to take it. It made me gain weight though...which wasn't a bad thing since I weighed about 125lbs at the time. But still pissed me off. It also tastes horrible coming back up in belches...and it will. Not very easy on the stomach.
On the other hand, there is plenty of info on dosing available since so many of us have used it....and it does seem to slow hair loss up top and hair growth elsewhere.
As for Pygeum, I have no experience with it.
Personally, I use Fincar to block DHT. Then again, I'm not as convinced that anything "natural" is always inherently safer than drugs. Honestly I've had more negative side effects from herbs than from any prescription drugs. That's neither here nor there though.
I guess buying a small amount of each and test them is what I'd do if I were you. See which you prefer, or just go with the SP first if you don't mind putting on some flab around the belly/hips/thighs. Get the Doctor's Best brand of extract that's 320mg a pill though. Half as much capsule coating BS to put into your body that way as opposed to the 160mg every other kind seems to be.
