Ovabalance — Saw Palmetto Complex · Skin & Hair (androgenic balance)

Of the entire range, this is the supplement most relevant to dermatology. Many skin and hair problems in women have an androgenic component: DHT, produced from testosterone by 5-alpha-reductase, miniaturizes the hair and stimulates the sebaceous gland. Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) is traditionally used to inhibit this enzyme. Phytosterols and pumpkin extract complement this approach, while milk thistle (standardized to 80% silymarin) supports the liver, which metabolizes hormones. I must be honest about two points. First, none of these plants have an authorized European health claim: efficacy data exists mainly for prostate enlargement in men, while their anti-androgenic use in women remains traditional and emerging. Second, patience is key: hair growth and skin renewal take several months, so allow at least 8 to 12 weeks before evaluating. Safety: due to its anti-androgenic action, this complex is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding (risk to the development of a male fetus). Use caution if taking hormonal treatment (contraception, hormone replacement therapy) or anticoagulants. For adults only. For established imperfections or hair loss, it should be part of a comprehensive management plan, not used as a standalone treatment.
