Saw Palmetto Berries (75g)

Pros

• Prostate Health:
• One of the most well-known benefits of Saw Palmetto Berry is its role in supporting prostate health, particularly in reducing symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. Saw Palmetto may help improve urinary flow, decrease night-time urination (nocturia), and reduce the feeling of incomplete bladder emptying by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to prostate growth.
• Urinary Tract Support:
• Saw Palmetto is commonly used to support urinary tract function in men. By influencing hormonal pathways, it may help reduce urinary frequency, urgency, and weak urinary stream, which are often associated with an enlarged prostate. Some studies also suggest modest improvements in overall urinary symptoms and quality of life for men with mild BPH symptoms.
• Hormonal and Hair Health Effects:
• Saw Palmetto may modulate androgen hormones, particularly by reducing DHT levels. This action not only benefits prostate health but has led to its use in male pattern baldness, as it may slow hair loss by limiting DHT activity in hair follicles. However, evidence for hair retention is less robust than for prostate health.
• Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Properties:
• Preliminary research indicates that Saw Palmetto contains fatty acids and phytosterols with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These compounds may help reduce inflammation in the urinary tract and prostate, potentially supporting overall urogenital health.
