How Does Saw Palmetto Extract Work?

Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) is alow-growingpalm tree withsharp, saw-like leaf stalks and deep red berries that grows in warmclimates, such as those in the southeastern U.S. and California.Extract of its berries has been shown to promote healthy prostatefunction, including proper flow and frequency of urination.
Prostate complications are believed to be caused by an increase in theconversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in theprostate. DHT stimulates the production of prostate cells, which maylead to overproduction and enlargement of the prostate (hyperplasia).Studies indicate that saw palmetto may inhibit DHT production as wellas promote its breakdown. Saw palmetto is also reported to haveantiestrogenic effects, which is beneficial because estrogen interfereswith the elimination of DHT from the prostate.

Studieshaveshown that saw palmetto may:
Help promote healthy urine flowLessen number of times the urgeto urinateoccurs, including at night Minimize feelings that bladderhas notcompletely emptied Provide relief fromuncomfortable sensationsrelated to poor prostate health By blocking the same enzymes thatcontribute to prostate complications, saw palmetto may also help reducehair loss, though more research is needed to confirm this effect. DHTis required for the development of androgenic alopecia (male/femalepattern hair loss), so saw palmetto’s potential blocking of DHT maypromote hair health.
