MSRP: $23.99

Saw palmetto is a type of small palm tree found in Florida and parts of other southeastern states. It has long, green, pointed leaves like many types of palm trees. It also has branches with small berries.

Native Americans from the Seminole tribe in Florida traditionally ate saw palmetto berries for food and to help with urinary and reproductive problems associated with an enlarged prostate gland. It is also known that they have used it to help with cough, indigestion, sleeping problems, and infertility.

The most important factor about saw palmetto is that it’s been shown to help slow the production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, so taking it is a strong step to improve prostate health. 

This enzyme helps convert the male hormone testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) — a sex steroid and androgen hormone.

While DHT is important because it plays a role in male development, it also contributes to many common health issues in men, such as loss of libido, an enlarged prostate and hair loss. By taking saw palmetto supplements or using the extract of this beneficial plant, you inhibit the production of this hormone and may help avoid these issues that are seen in middle-aged and older males.

Saw Palmetto is America's most popular herbal supplement.
