Historically, the use of saw palmetto (Serenoa repens, Sabal serrulata) can be traced back to the Americas by the Mayans, who used it as a tonic, and the Seminoles, who consumed its berries as an antitussive or antiseptic. The parts used are the berries, the extract, and the preparations.
NOW® Saw Palmetto is a species of palm tree from N. America, whose berry extract contains beneficial plant components, such as sterols and a unique form of fatty acids that can help in prostate health. There is strong scientific evidence supporting its use for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, combating male pattern hair loss, and the underactive bladder.
Also, the use of Saw Palmetto can generally help the normal flow of urine, reduce the number of urinations at night, and provide relief from symptoms arising from the abnormal functioning of the prostate.
Moreover, studies have shown that Saw Palmetto can reduce fluid retention caused by the release of histamine (allergic type reactions) and due to harmful chemicals. It has also been proven that Saw Palmetto extract has anti-inflammatory and immunostimulatory properties.
