Saw Palmetto 100g

The saw palmetto palm is endemic to the southeastern United States. Native Americans have long made use of this plant, particularly the berries, which were believed to treat a number of ailments. The plant gets its name from the fan-shaped leaves and saw-like edges of the leaf stems.

Saw palmetto has a long history of usage in folk medicine for anything from urinary tract infections to male and female reproductive disorders and even respiratory illnesses. Saw palmetto is a popular natural therapy these days for many different health issues, including:

Saw palmetto has been demonstrated to alleviate symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), including the need to urinate frequently, weak urine flow, and trouble emptying the bladder.
There is also research to suggest it helps with hair loss. Saw palmetto may benefit males with androgenetic alopecia, a form of hair loss caused by genetics and hormone imbalances, as indicated by studies.

It can also be used to clear up the skin. Saw palmetto’s anti-inflammatory properties suggest it may help reduce acne-causing inflammation and oil production.

Fatty acids and phytosterols are among the active chemicals in saw palmetto that may be responsible for the herb’s purported health benefits. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone linked to disorders like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and hair loss, and these substances may operate by blocking its production.

Saw palmetto may also help with stress and anxiety reduction, sexual performance, and lowering the risk of prostate cancer.
