Description
Saw Palmetto is a supplement that supports men’s health, prostate gland health, and urinary function. It is available in veggie capsules from Natura Genics®.
How It Works
Saw Palmetto is a shrub-like palm native to the southeastern United States. It has been used for a variety of conditions but is prominently known to support male health. Saw palmetto works primarily by promoting the inhibition of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone associated with prostate enlargement and hair loss. By blocking this enzyme, saw palmetto promotes lower levels of DHT, leading to several health benefits.
Benefits of Saw Palmetto
- Supports men's health
- Promotes prostate gland health
- Supports urinary function
- Supports hair loss prevention
Supports Men’s Health
Saw palmetto is a great supplement for men who are looking to support their health through common aging symptoms. Saw palmetto has been associated with testosterone, the male sex hormone important for normal sexual development, and functions that naturally decrease as men age. It slows down 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT, assisting in preserving natural levels of testosterone in the body.
Supports Prostate Gland Health
A common symptom of aging men is an enlarged prostate (BPH). BPH is so common that it is believed that all men will have an enlarged prostate if they live long enough and a small amount of prostate enlargement is present in most men over 40. Saw palmetto may promote relief in some of the symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate.
Saw palmetto is commonly used to promote the relief of symptoms associated with the urinary tract, which become common in men as they age and in those who suffer from BPH. Some research suggests that saw palmetto is effective in promoting reduced painful urination, nighttime urination, and retained urine in the bladder due to its anti-inflammatory-promoting effects.
