What is Saw Palmetto? Saw palmetto is a species of palm tree. Its leaves have unique serrations that look just like the teeth of a saw. Saw palmetto berries are packed with fatty substances that have been demonstrated to have a balancing effect on male hormones, making it a beneficial plant extract that can help address hormone-related issues, such as hair loss, chronic fatigue, a weakened immune system, and prostate-related issues. How does our Saw Palmetto supplement work? Saw palmetto has a direct effect on 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme that converts free testosterone into 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone. 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone is about 5 times more powerful than testosterone, and is believed to be one of the primary causes for age-related hormone dysfunctions in men and women. Saw palmetto extract is also rich in antioxidants that protect the body from environmental toxins and free radicals. What are the benefits of Saw Palmetto? Helps promote normal prostate health and function. Helps prevent premature hair loss. May enhance male fertility and libido. Aids in the maintenance of normal hormonal balance in men and women. Why is zinc included? Zinc is needed for the formation and utilization of male hormones, such as testosterone. A zinc deficiency is common, especially due to the modern diet. By adding zinc to the formula, you are able to receive the daily recommended consumption of zinc to support normal reproductive health. How much should you take? Each capsule is packed with a highly concentrated extract of saw palmetto and zinc. We recommend just taking one capsule per day. For best results, take our saw palmetto supplement at around the same time each day along with food.
