Saw Palmetto

Saw Palmetto has long been used in Europe to treat an enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). American physicians generally don't prescribe any drug other than Finasteride (Proscar), Terazosin HCI (Hytrin), or Doxazosin mesylate (Cardura) for BPH. But unlike these drugs, particularly Proscar, Saw Palmetto usually kicks in quickly. With the Saw Palmetto extract most men achieve some relief of symptoms within the first 30 days.

Saw Palmetto Has Shown To Be Beneficial For:
• prostate disorders
• Gaining “healthy” weight
• Improving digestion
• promoting hair growth/ regrowth (Both men AND women)
• Increasing strength/stamina
• Balancing hormone levels (Both men AND women)
• Improving fertility
• Reducing sexual dysfunction

Saw palmetto For prostate Disorders
• Saw palmetto appears to have efficacy [effectiveness] similar to that of medications like finasteride (Proscar), but it is better tolerated and less expensive. There are no known drug interactions with Saw palmetto, and reported side effects are minor and rare. - American Family Physician 2003;67:1281-3.
• Saw palmetto is widely used in other countries; for example, it is used in 50 percent of treatments for BPH [Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia] in Italy and in 90 percent of such treatments in Germany. - European Urology 1992;21:309-14.
• A major benefit of Saw palmetto is that it’s effects are generally seen only shortly after beginning treatment. Some people report noticing a reduction in symptoms in as little as 30 days. This is an advantage over most of the currently available drugs which can take as long as 6 to 12 months for effects to be seen.
• In one study, patients subjectively said that Saw palmetto helped improve BPH symptoms - 83 percent said it was effective after 45 days and 88 percent said it was effective after 90 days.
• Unlike the prescription drug Proscar (finasteride), Saw palmetto has proven similarly effective, but without side effects such as: decreased libido, ejaculatory problems, and loss of erection.

For all prostate disorders, Saw palmetto is the most popular herbal remedy. Suffer no longer. Try it today!

Saw palmetto For Hair loss
As you probably know, Saw palmetto is great for helping prevent prostate cancer and improving general prostate health, but what you probably don’t know is that its also great for preventing hair loss! Both men and women can suffer from hair loss (alopecia). Saw palmetto is beneficial for any adult who suffers from this condition. Hair loss develops when the level of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the scalp is too high. DHT binds itself to the hair follicles, decreasing the amount of nutrients they can extract from blood. The follicles gradually shrink and the hair growing from them becomes thinner. If nothing is done to treat this condition, the hair disappears completely. To prevent and treat hair loss, the level of DHT in the body must be decreased. There are prescription drugs designed to inhibit DHT (such as Propecia), which block conversion of free testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. Being synthetic substances, prescription drugs for treating hair loss often have serious side effects, such as gynecomastia (abnormal breast enlargement in males) and even erectile dysfunction. Saw palmetto, on the other hand is a herbal DHT inhibitor. While it has a similar mechanism of action to Propecia, it does NOT cause side effects such as those associated with Propecia and other prescription drugs.

Saw palmetto may stop or even reverse hair loss!
