Description

Saw Palmetto is a type of palm tree, also known as Dwarf Palm and its primary medicinal value lies in the oily compounds found in its berries.

Saw Palmetto may help to inhibit the actions of Dihydrotestosterone or DHT (a potent form of testosterone) on the prostate that can cause prostate enlargement and interference with urinary flow. Among the main constituents of Saw Palmetto are fatty acids and sterols. The fatty acids are purported to be responsible for testosterone inhibiting effects within the prostate.

The excessive presence of DHT has also been linked to androgenetic alopecia and hence Saw Palmetto may also be beneficial in men suffering from this condition.
