Saw palmetto, also known as saw palmetto extract, is an ingredient extracted from the berries of the Serenoa repens saw palmetto tree. Saw palmetto is a wild crop native to remote areas of the southeastern United States. Saw palmetto has also been found to have many important effects related to human health.
Saw palmetto extract is effective in reducing the size of an enlarged prostate.
People with prostate enlargement mean that prostate cells increase in reproduction, causing an abnormal increase in prostate size, causing pressure on neighboring organs, narrowing the urethra and causing symptoms. Adverse effects may occur in the lower urinary tract.
Researchers have discovered the potential of Saw palmetto extract on prostatic hypertrophy through its ability to inhibit 5-alpha-reductase activity. Anti-androgen properties thanks to inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase prevent the conversion of Testosterone to Dihydrotestosterone, helping to slow down the proliferation of prostate epithelium, reducing the progression of benign prostatic hypertrophy in men (BPH).
Saw palmetto extract is effective in reducing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) caused by prostate enlargement.
People with prostate enlargement often have symptoms in the lower urinary tract such as: urinary urgency, incontinence, nocturia, frequent urination, hesitancy, interrupted urination, weak urine stream, and difficulty urinating. , urinary retention (incomplete urination), pain when urinating.
Saw palmetto has been shown to increase urinary flow rate Qmax.
Saw palmetto has the ability to increase the Qmax urinary flow rate, which will help the body eliminate the necessary amount of urine from the body at the body’s desired speed, creating a comfortable feeling when urinating, helping to minimize the feeling of discomfort. Feeling like difficulty urinating, intermittent urination, weak urinary stream. A standard saw palmetto ingredient called Vispo™ produced by Vidya herb has been shown to improve urine flow rate by 20.42% in 12 weeks of use.
Saw palmetto extract reduces the amount of urine remaining after each urination.
A study conducted on standardized Saw palmetto material showed that Saw palmetto extract is effective in reducing the amount of residual urine, with an improvement of up to 11.34% after 12 weeks of use to help people with prostate enlargement. Benign paralysis feels comfortable when urinating, no frequent urination, incomplete urination, nocturia, frequent urination…
Saw palmetto extract has the ability to reduce hair loss in men.
When men turn 35, the rate of hair loss begins to increase. This rate increases to 85% when men turn 50. One of the causes of hair loss in men is hormonal decline.
Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common form of hair loss and is characterized by a higher front hairline, pushing the hairline farther toward the crown while causing thinner hair. This condition is caused by genetic sensitivity to DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Dihydrotestosterone is a metabolic product of testosterone under the influence of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. Hair follicles that are sensitive to DHT tend to shrink over time, the size of the hair follicles becomes smaller and smaller and gradually loses the ability to reproduce (produce hair).
Saw palmetto extract has the effect of inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase, reducing the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, thereby reducing factors that affect the reproduction of hair follicles, reducing hair loss caused by hormones cause.
Saw palmetto extract helps boost testosterone in men
As mentioned above, Saw palmetto extract has the effect of inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase, preventing the conversion of testosterone into dihyrdotestosterone (DHT). This inhibition not only has a beneficial effect on benign prostatic hypertrophy, LUST adverse symptoms, and androgenetic alopecia, but also helps preserve testosterone levels that gradually decrease. Age is in the blood, helping to maintain male physiological health.
What should you keep in mind when using Saw palmetto extract?
Because of the great effects that Saw palmetto extract brings to human health, we need to pay attention when choosing to use raw materials.
Clinical trials demonstrating that Saw palmetto extract is effective on benign prostatic hypertrophy or LUST all used standardized sources of Saw palmetto extract with raw material standards meeting EU or USP monographs. In the growing demand for Saw palmetto, there has been widespread misinterpretation, mixing and diluting Saw palmetto extract with less expensive vegetable oils such as coconut, canola, olive and sunflower or using the fruit. not ripe enough to produce Saw palmetto extract, leading to no clinical benefit.
