Saw Palmetto
100 Vegetarian Capsules | 500mg
A natural supplement for both women and men to promote healthy hormone levels, reproductive health, urinary tract health, and hair loss support.
For Women: Natural hormone balancer
Saw Palmetto has been shown to have androgen-lowering effects 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 regulate 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-lowering properties. It has been shown to support overall prostate health, help maintain a healthy urinary tract, and even promote hair growth.
Suggested Use:
Take 1 capsule daily, preferably with a meal, or as directed by a physician.
Caution:
Do not exceed recommended dose. Pregnant and nursing mothers, children under the age of 18, and individuals with a known medical condition or taking prescription medication should consult a physician before taking this or any dietary supplement.
