Saw Palmetto extract is a plant traditionally used by Native Americans in the United States. It is taken from the berries of the saw palmetto fan palm, which grows as a tree or shrub and can grow 10 feet tall in warm climates. It is native to the West Indies and the United States. Ingredients of saw palmetto extract include fatty acids, plant sterols, and flavonoids. Polysaccharides in the berries help to reduce inflammation and strengthen the immune system. Saw palmetto extract also helps to slow production of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which helps to improve prostate health by converting testosterone into DHT, a sex steroid, and androgen hormone. DHT contributes to many health ailments in men such as an enlarged prostate, hair loss, and loss of libido.

Saw palmetto extract helps to increase testosterone naturally and to naturally improve prostate health. It treats BPH, benign prostatic hyperplasia, the most common form of an enlarged prostate. Symptoms of BPH include difficulty with urination, resulting in bladder stones and infections.
