What is Saw Palmetto?

     Saw palmetto, is the sole species currently classified in the genus Serenoa. It has been known by a number of synonyms, including Sabal serrulatum, under which name it still often appears in alternative medicine. It is a small palm, normally reaching a height of around 2–4 m (3–6 ft). Its trunk is sprawling, and it grows in clumps or dense thickets in sandy coastal lands or as undergrowth in pine woods or hardwood hammocks.

    It is endemic to the southeastern United States, most commonly along the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal plains, but also as far inland as southern Arkansas. It is a hearty plant; extremely slow growing, and long lived, with some plants, especially in Florida, possibly being as old as 500-700 years.

The Usage of Saw Palmetto Extract:

    Saw Palmetto is a small palm tree with large leaves and large deep red-blackberries. The saw palmetto berries were used by the American Indians as a general tonic to nourish the body and encourage appetite and normal weight gain.

    The berries of saw palmetto were also used in the treatment of genito-urinary tract problems including enuresis, nocturia, and urinary tract disorders. Recent clinical trials have shown that saw palmetto berries are helpful in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

    Saw Palmetto berries contain an oil with a variety of fatty acids and phytosterols. These fatty acids include capric, caprylic, caproic, lauric, palmitic, and oleic acid and their ethyl esters. The major phytosterols are beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol, cycloartenol, stigmasterol, cycloartenol, lupeol, lupenone, and 24-methyl-cyclo-artenol.

    The fat soluble extract of saw palmetto berries has been shown to inhibit the conversion of testosterone (DHT) which is thought to be responsible for the enlargement of the prostate. In addition saw palmetto extract inhibits the binding of DHT to receptors thus blocking DHT's action and promoting the breakdown of the potent compound.

Action and Uses:

1.Saw Palmetto inhibits testosterone action on the prostate, thus is used widely for BPH treatment.

2. Saw Palmetto also prevents binding of DHT to androgen receptors, hence helps with hair loss.

3. Saw Palmetto inhibits androgen and estrogen receptor activity and helps both men and women to balance hormones.

5. Saw Palmetto for women: Women also use Saw Palmetto herb to stimulate breast enlargement and also to treat uterine irritability.

2.Enhances sexual functioning: improves sexual desire reduces cholesterol and fatty acids in the blood

3.Prevention and Treatment of Benign Prostate Enlargement.

Effects:

1)Anti-Androgenic Effects: The lipophilic extract of the herb inhibits binding of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to the cytosolic androgenic receptor and alpha1-adrenoceptor in the prostate, thus preventing accumulation of the steroid, which may lead to prostate hyperplasia.

2)Anti-Inflammatory Effects:  The extracts of the herb have demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity. Inhibition of the synthesis of arachidonic acid inflammatory metobolits, throuhg a double blocking of cyclooxygenas and 5-lipoxy-genase pathways results in anti-inflammatory properties.
