What is Saw Palmetto from Life Pro Nutrition

Saw Palmetto is a species of dwarf palm tree that belongs to the genus Serenoa. It is native to the SE United States and is known by several names: Serenoa Repens, Saw Palmetto, Sabal Serrulatum, or Dwarf Palm.

The fruits of this plant are rich in fatty acids and phytosterols., and the extract of the fruits of Serenoa Repens is used successfully in the treatment of BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia).

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is an enlarged prostate, characterized by poor urine flow and the need to urinate frequently (especially at night). This condition affects men, occurs with age and is not due to cancer.

Complications of benign prostatic hyperplasia include: urinary tract infections, acute urinary retention, kidney infections, and kidney stones. When the inability to empty the bladder becomes a serious problem, surgical treatment is absolutely necessary.

Life Pro Saw Palmetto Benefits

Saw Palmetto extract is believed to have been used since Mayan times. They used it to improve the sexual life of men and increase fertility.

Currently, due to its rich content of fatty acids, sterols (compounds with an action similar to testosterone) and polysaccharides, approximately 95% of BPH patients use Saw Palmetto supplements to relieve symptoms. Saw Palmetto extract has been clinically shown to inhibit the enzyme (5-alpha-reductase) that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.

Dihydrotestosterone is a biologically active metabolite of the hormone testosterone, which stimulates the growth of the volume of the prostate and slows down hair loss.

In addition to the benefits provided by saw palmetto extract in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, it prevents the formation of tumors in the prostate, has anti-inflammatory effect, stimulates immunity, increases libido and stops hair loss.
