Supports Prostate Health * Hexane Free * 320 mg Native to the Southern Atlantic coast of the United States, the saw palmetto berry was used by Native Americans for a variety of health concerns, and was found especially useful for older men. Numerous studies have shown that the berry contains fatty acids which may inhibit the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone within the prostate. Two Source Naturals softgels contain the exact amount (320 mg) and concentration of saw palmetto fatty acids (85-95%) administered in clinical trials. KEY FEATURES -

In the western world, saw palmetto is used mainly to relieve the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) -- a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. The prostate is part of the male reproductive system. The urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body, passes through the prostate gland. For most men, BPH is a normal part of aging. An enlarged prostate, however, may cause men to have trouble starting or maintaining urination, need to urinate more often, have urine leaks, or need to urinate during the night. Saw palmetto contains a number of different chemicals, including plant sterols and fatty acids. Numerous studies have been done to test the effectiveness of saw palmetto for BPH. In general, results have been positive – possibly due to saw palmetto’s potential ability to block at least partially the effects of an enzyme that promotes and maintains prostate cell growth. Saw palmetto has also been reported to have mild anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, diuretic, and sedative properties. Some unconfirmed reports seem to indicate that saw palmetto may stimulate hair growth, some women reportedly use it to increase breast size, and it has also been promoted to enhance sexual desire for both men and women. Suggested Use: One softgel daily between meals, or as recommended by your health care professional. Supplement Facts
