Top sellers in Saw Palmetto
Saw Palmetto is from a dwarf palm tree and is made from the fruits or berries of the tree. They can be eaten as they are or steeped in tea or taken as capsules.
How It Works:
The active compounds are believed to help block the activity of an enzyme (5-alpha reductase) which is responsible for converting testosterone to DHT. DHT is responsible for a hormone imbalance.
The Benefits of Saw Palmetto are as Follows:
Improve Prostate Health- An enlarged prostate is common in older men and can cause complications when it becomes too enlarged. It causes problems when emptying the bladder, meaning frequent trips to the toilet. Consuming Saw Palmetto regularly may aid in reducing the prostate as it also has anti-inflammatory properties.
Urinary Function- Similar to that of aiding the prostate, there are links to eating the berries or taking the capsules, that suggests it may increase urine flow, meaning less frequent trips to the toilet.
Hair Loss- While there needs to be more research, there are suggestions that the berry can in fact balance a certain hormone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) that causes baldness.
