Product Function
1.Improves Symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Saw palmetto extract inhibits 5α-reductase activity, reducing dihydrotestosterone production, thereby alleviating symptoms of BPH such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. It also alleviates BPH symptoms such as frequent urination, increased nocturia, weak urination, and interrupted urinary flow.
2.Adjunctive Treatment for Chronic Prostatitis
It relieves pelvic pain and urinary discomfort through its anti-inflammatory effects. It is often used in combination with other plant extracts (such as pumpkin seed and pollen extracts).
3.Anti-inflammatory Effects:
Saw palmetto extract inhibits the activity of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase, reducing the production of inflammatory mediators, thereby exerting its anti-inflammatory effects.
4.Antioxidant Effects:
Saw palmetto extract possesses antioxidant properties, scavenging free radicals and protecting cells from oxidative damage.
5.Promotes Hair Growth:
Saw palmetto extract inhibits the attack of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) on hair follicles, thereby helping to alleviate male pattern baldness.
