5-alpha-reductase

Small Flowered Willow Herb is a herb that inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase which converts testosterone to its most potent form (dihydrotestosterone or DHT). Proscar (finasteride) is a prescription drug that works through the same mechanism as saw palmetto. Proscar decreases the levels of DHT, which results in the shrinkage of an enlarged prostate. This drug may be associated with some negative side effects, such as loss of libido. It is important to note that Proscar, unlike small flowered willow herb, has been subjected to controlled clinical studies.
