High Natural Saw Palmetto Extract 20-45% Fatty Acids

Saw palmetto extract is taken from the deep purple berries of the saw palmetto fan palm, which is known as Serenoa repens. It grows as a tree or shrub and has lush, green leaves that fan out from its thorn stem.

It can reach heights of 10 feet in warm climates, with leaf clusters that can reach two feet or more.

Other common names for saw palmetto include American dwarf palm tree and cabbage palm. The plant is native to the West Indies, and in the U.S., saw palmetto grows in the warm climates of the Southeast Coast, from South Carolina to throughout Florida.

Saw palmetto benefits have been known for centuries, and the plant has been used in traditional, eclectic and alternative medicine. Its active ingredients include fatty acids, plant sterols and flavonoids.

The berries also contain high molecular weight polysaccharides (sugars), which may reduce inflammation and strengthen the immune system - thus adding immune system booster to the list of saw palmetto benefits.

The most important factor about Serenoa repens is that it's been shown to slow the production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, so taking it is a strong step to improve prostate health. 

While DHT is important because it plays a role in male development, it also contributes to many common health issues in men, such as loss of libido, an enlarged prostate and hair loss. By taking Serenoa repens supplements or using the extract of this beneficial plant, you inhibit the production of this hormone and help avoid these issues that are seen in middle-aged and older males, including enlargement of the prostate and BPH symptoms.

Saw palmetto berries may also help relieve chronic pain and migraines and reserve hair loss, in addition to other saw palmetto benefits.
