Saw palmetto is an extract from the Serenoa repens berry. Preparations of the herb are widely used in Europe to support prostate health. Many researchers agree an unhealthy prostate is associated with the male hormone testosterone or its metabolites such as dihydrotestosterone(DHT). A typical unhealthy prostate exerts pressure on the urethra (urinary passage) blocking proper urinary flow. This results in urinary tract problems and severe discomfort. Although more investigations need to be performed, saw palmetto is believed to contain a compound known to inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase that turns testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT).Clinical trials have shown that saw palmetto is effective in supporting normal prostate health. A recent study in 50 men with previously untreated prostate difficulties were given saw palmetto(160 mg twice daily) for 6 months. After 2 months, significant improvements in prostate health were noted. It should also be noted that saw palmetto was well tolerated.
