Main Uses

  • Supports Prostate Health: Studies have shown that saw palmetto extract can inhibit testosterone from binding to and stimulating prostate cells, which reduces the multiplication of prostatic cells and the enlargement of prostatic.
  • Prevents Hair Loss: 5α-Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a male androgen hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink, resulting in reduced hair production. Saw palmetto extract can inhibit the production of DHT, thereby avoiding hair loss.
