What is SAW PALMETTO COMPLEX 500 mg from Pure Nutrition?
Saw palmetto extract is taken from the deep purple fruit of the Saw palmetto palm, which is known as Serenoa repens. It grows as a tree or shrub and has lush, green leaves that spread out from its spiny stem.
The benefits of saw palmetto have been known for a long time. In fact, the saw palmetto plant was used medicinally by Native Americans in the southeastern United States, and in the early 20th century, men used the fruit to treat urinary tract problems and increase sperm production—in addition to supporting prostate health.
It is also used to increase urine flow, promote relaxation, and enhance sexual desire.
Saw palmetto also has the power to help with colds, coughs and sore throats, asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and migraine headaches.
Health benefits of taking saw palmetto:
- Preserves and increases testosterone levels - Because Saw palmetto inhibits the conversion of testosterone to DHT (dihydrotestosterone - a sex steroid and androgen hormone), the body maintains normal testosterone levels. High testosterone levels increase strength, endurance, sexual desire and help burn fat more easily.
- Relieves Enlarged Prostate - The prostate gland can become inflamed or enlarged as men age. The prostate then presses on the urethra, causing difficulty urinating, leading to bladder infections or bladder stones. Saw palmetto inhibits testosterone from binding to and stimulating prostate cells, which reduces the proliferation of prostate cells and prostate enlargement.
- Reduces the risk of prostate cancer - Saw palmetto works as a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor – meaning it slows down the conversion of testosterone to DHT by blocking the enzyme and preventing its formation. According to research, DHT is responsible for prostate enlargement, which may be a cause of prostate cancer.
- Helps with hair loss - Saw palmetto extracts and supplements work as a hair loss remedy because they keep testosterone levels balanced. As men age, the hormone testosterone decreases, and a hormone called 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) increases. Normally, after one hair falls out, another hair starts to grow from that same follicle - but if DHT is high, hair growth slows down. Saw palmetto benefits have the power to stop testosterone from converting to DHT, making it beneficial for hair growth.
