The Saw Palmetto palm trees bearing berries are found in the Southeastern United States. Bodybuilding.com sells only high-quality pharmaceutical-grade Saw Palmetto extract.
What does it do and what scientific studies give evidence to support this?
Many studies have been done that confirm its beneficial effects in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a condition where the prostate gland may grow from the size of a walnut to as large as a small orange. Although this condition is not malignant, it can cause a blockage of the urethra and require surgery. Specifically, Saw Palmetto has been found to prevent the binding of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to androgen receptors by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into DHT. DHT appears to be a major factor in the onset of BPH.
Who needs it and what are some symptoms of deficiency?
Many men above the age of 50 experience BPH; therefore, supplementing with saw palmetto can be extremely beneficial.
