Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) is a type of palm native to the southeastern United States.
The berries of the plant are commonly used in supplements to improve prostate health, balance hormone levels, and prevent hair loss in men.
It’s also associated with other benefits, including decreased inflammation and improved urinary function.
Saw palmetto may ward off hair loss and increase hair density by decreasing levels of a specific enzyme related to hair loss.
Improves urinary tract function
Saw palmetto may improve urinary tract function and could aid in the treatment of urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).
Test-tube studies show that saw palmetto may help decrease the growth of prostate cancer cells. It may also help improve symptoms of BPH.
Saw palmetto is high in antioxidants and has been shown to decrease inflammation.
May help regulate testosterone levels
Test-tube and human studies show that saw palmetto could decrease the activity of an enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT, helping to maintain testosterone levels naturally.
