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 androgen-lowering effects, alleviating PCOS symptoms such as excessive body hair, hair loss, acne, and irregular periods. It limits conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and reduces the amount of androgen entering your tissues.
For Women: Improves reproductive health
Prolactin levels are usually higher if you have PCOS. Saw Palmetto helps to lower and regulate prolactin levels which can aid in relieving your PCOS symptoms and support your overall ovarian function.
For Men: Supports urinary tract health and hair growth
Saw Palmetto is an excellent supplement support for men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms thanks to its DHT-lowering effects. It can help you reduce inflammation, support overall prostate health, and 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.
