Can Saw Palmetto Prevent Hair Loss?

Question: My brother, who is 8 years younger than me, is completely bald on top. But I still have a full head of hair (I’m 55). I’ve been taking saw palmetto since my early 30s. Could this be the reason?

Dr. Hibberd's answer:
 
No. You are just fortunate to have differing genetics from your brother. It is not the saw palmetto.

There's no evidence that saw palmetto can prevent hair loss.
