Saw Palmetto Complex

Saw Palmetto is obtained from the berries of the saw palmetto dwarf palm tree native to the Southeastern U.S. The berries contain a mixture of fatty acids which exert a favorable effect on the prostate gland. The American Indians used saw palmetto berries as a nutritional tonic for the genitourinary tract.*

Saw Palmetto Complex" contains the actual liposterolic (oil) extract of the saw palmetto berry standardized to contain 85% to 95% fatty acids and sterols, the level recommended by researchers. This formula also contains extracts of pumpkin seed, which supports prostate function; pygeum, which researchers are interested in for its key ingredients, including pentacyclic triterpenes, sterolic triterpenes, fatty acids, esters of ferulic acid, and beta-sitosterol; and bearberry, which supports urinary passage health.*

Testosterone can break down into dihydrotestosterone (DHT.) The DHT can stimulate the prostate cells & contribute to an enlarged prostate, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH.)*

Saw palmetto inhibits the enzyme which converts testosterone to DHT, thereby decreasing DHT levels. It inhibits the binding of DHT to its receptor site & blocks the uptake of DHT.*

Saw palmetto also exerts a mild anti-inflammatory effect within the prostate. Men taking testosterone or DHEA hormones should use Prostapro prophylactically.*

Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated the usefulnes of the extract of saw palmetto berries on the symptoms of BPH.*

No significant side effects have been reported in clinical trials.*
