The Solgar SFP Saw Palmetto Berry is a dietary supplement in phytocapsules, with 300mg extract of Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) and 220mg powder of raw fruit per capsule. The combination of extract and whole fruit is what Solgar calls SFP, or Standardized Full Potency. The package contains 60 phytocapsules.
It is aimed at adult men, especially men over 45 who want to include Saw Palmetto in their daily routine, as well as those who prefer herbal formulations in phytocapsules, suitable for vegans.
Serenoa repens is a low palmetto that grows in the sandy areas of the southeastern United States. Its dark fruit, known as saw palmetto berry, has been traditionally used for a long time and remains one of the most studied botanicals in modern literature. Its characteristic components are fatty acids and phytosterols, compounds that are concentrated in the lipophilic fraction of the fruit.
Standardization, i.e. the commitment that each batch of extract yields a defined proportion of these compounds, is the reason why an extract differs from a simple ground herb powder. Here Solgar combines both: the standardized extract for consistency from batch to batch and the powder of the whole fruit to retain the broadest phytochemical profile. Health claims for botanicals are under evaluation by the EFSA, so below it describes what the ingredient is, not what it does.**
According to the product presentation by Solgar:
The above formulations are attributed to the producer. Saw Palmetto does not have an approved health claim from the EFSA, so the related claims for botanicals are under evaluation and the role of the ingredient remains under research. The product does not replace medical evaluation: symptoms from the urinary tract require examination by a urologist.
This is a mono-botanical preparation, without additional vitamins, minerals or other extracts. Each phytocapsule provides 300mg extract of fruit and 220mg powder of raw fruit, totaling 520mg of plant material. The shell is hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, of plant origin, without gelatin.
The formula is made without sugar, salt, yeast, wheat, soy, gluten and dairy, and without artificial preservatives, fragrances or colorants. The absence of gelatin and animal derivatives makes the preparation suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
It suits adult men from middle age onwards who want to include Saw Palmetto in their daily routine. It suits those who prefer standardized herbal extracts instead of simple herb powder, and people who avoid gelatin and seek phytocapsules. It is also of interest to those who want a mono-botanical preparation so they can control exactly what they are taking.
The product is a dietary supplement, it does not replace a medical diagnosis or treatment and does not replace a balanced diet. It is not intended for women, children or adolescents.
