HISTORY
Saw Palmetto is a small shrub native to the Southeastern United States. Native Americans used the berries as both a food and a remedy. Saw Palmetto was official in the National Formulary from 1926-1950 and was also found in the 23rd edition of the United States Dispensatory. Whereas it fell out of favor in the United States, physicians in Europe continued to utilize this invaluable herb. In Germany today, it's one of the top ten herbals prescribed by physicians.

A RELEVANT HERBAL FOR MEN
Saw Palmetto has been the focus of numerous clinical studies that have pointed toward its effectiveness in supporting proper function of the prostate. This is especially relevant for men over the age of 50, to help maintain normal function of the prostate.

One of the first double-blind studies of Saw Palmetto involved 110 patients. A significant number of subjects showed normalization in urinary and prostate health. The extract was well tolerated. An open trial with 505 subjects demonstrated similar results. After 90 days of treatment, 88% of the patients felt the therapy was effective.

Another large double-blind, randomized international study followed 1,098 men for 6 months. Saw Palmetto supported urinary flow rate and improved quality of life. The study suggested that Saw Palmetto is effective in promoting prostate health. Additionally, 6 % of the men in the Saw Palmetto group felt their sexual function had improved.

A recent meta-analysis of 18 randomized trials concluded that Saw Palmetto supports urinary and prostate health, along with exerting a positive effect on sexual function.

MECHANISM OF ACTION
The mechanism of action of Saw Palmetto is not yet fully understood. As with most herbals, Saw Palmetto's effectiveness is probably the result of several differing actions. Possible explanations include inhibition of 5-alpha reductase, anti-estrogenic activity in prostate tissue, prostate volume reduction, and alpha 1- adrenergic receptor antagonism.
