A supplement for both women and men to promote healthy hormone levels, reproductive health, urinary tract health, and hair loss support.
For Women: Naturally Supports Hormone Balance
Saw Palmetto has been shown to promote healthy levels of androgen in women. High androgen levels in women are often associated with excessive body hair, hair loss, acne, and irregular periods.
For Women: Supports Reproductive Health
Saw Palmetto has been shown to promote healthy prolactin levels, thus supporting overall ovarian function.
For Men: Supports Urinary Tract Health and Hair Growth
Saw Palmetto can be an excellent supplement to support men thanks to its DHT-modulating effects. It has been shown to support overall prostate health, help maintain a healthy urinary tract, and even promote hair growth.
