Product description

Solgar Saw Palmetto comes from the fruit of the Serenoa repens plant which thrives in Southeast America.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is caused by the accumulation of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a testosterone derivative, in the prostate. As the prostate swells, it presses on the urethra, which passes through it, thus preventing urination.
At the same time, the bladder wall becomes thicker, irritated, and begins to contract - even when it contains only small amounts of urine - which causes more frequent urination.
Its extract works by blocking the production of dihydrotestosterone which causes the prostate to swell, and thus helps to reduce the swollen prostate (benign hyperplasia) and to reduce its symptoms such as frequent, painful urination, etc.
In addition, it helps treat inherited androgenetic alopecia by reducing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Committee for Herbal Medicine (HMPC) have approved the use of saw palmetto as a traditional herbal remedy for the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia such as difficulty urinating or frequent urination.
The active ingredient of the herb has been used for more than 10 years. Its effectiveness and safety are now documented and accepted by the EMA.
