What is Saw palmetto?

Saw Palmetto, whose botanical name is Serenoa repens, is a small, low-growing, dwarf-palm tree native to southeastern North America, particularly Florida. The Saw Palmetto plant produces berries, which when ripe in August to September each fall, are a bright orange to purple, almost black ovate, 3 cm long, 1 seeded berry, rich in fatty acids and phytosterols.

Chemical constituents of Saw palmetto extract

Saw palmetto extract is more desirable than whole berries. The extract form is more readily absorbed by the body and is a more pure form of the supplement. Berries may vary in the amount of active ingredient they contain, which is in the form of four types of compounds: plant sterols, free fatty alcohols, monoglycerides and free fatty acids. The free fatty acids are believed to be the primary ingredient that provides the desired effect.

Benefits of taking Saw palmetto extract supplements:

Saw palmetto extract is derived from the berries of the saw palmetto plant, which has the scientific name Serenoa repens. Several clinical studies of saw palmetto extract have shown it to have a beneficial effect on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or enlargement of the prostate gland, although it is not approved by the FDA as a treatment for BPH. Saw palmetto may have other uses in holistic medicine as well. Choosing the right saw palmetto extract is a matter of determining what benefit you hope to get from the supplement and then finding a manufacturer that you trust.

Some Application

1.European traditional medicine uses saw palmetto extract to treat an enlarged prostate and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Saw palmetto is an anti-androgen that lowers DHT levels in the body. Because of this, many believe that it can be used to combat hair loss.

2.It has long been used as an expectorant that controls irritation of mucous tissues. It has been used in the treatment of many illnesses in which mucous causes symptoms like whooping cough and laryngitis.

3.It has been used as a digestive tonic that improves appetite and digestion. It is believed to act on all of the organs involved in the digestive process.

4.It is believed by many to bring about healthy body conditions by reducing hypertrophic (enlarged) organs and increasing the size of atrophic organs.

5.It has been marketed as an aphrodisiac for men and women.

6.It has been marketed as an anabolic (muscle builder).

7.It is used by both men and women to balance hormonal activity.

Gastrointestinal discomfort may be present. This can be reduced by taking the extract with food.

Saw palmetto extract may increase the risk of bleeding.
