Saw Palmetto (Berry) 1 oz.

Botanical Name: Serenoa repens (syn. Sabal serrulata)

Common Names: Saw Palmetto, Scrub Palm, American Dwarf Palm

Description: Saw Palmetto is a low-growing, fan-leaved palm native to the warm, sandy coastal plains and pine flatwoods of the southeastern United States—particularly Florida. Revered as a premier botanical tonic for men's reproductive and urinary health, Saw Palmetto produces deep purple-black berries packed with rich fatty acids and phytosterols. In traditional and modern herbalism, it is celebrated for its ability to support healthy prostate function, balance urinary flow, and promote healthy hair vitality.

Energetics: Warm, Dry, Sweet, Tonic, Restorative

Key Constituents: The therapeutic power of Saw Palmetto is driven by its liposterolic extract, rich in fatty acids (such as lauric, oleic, myristic, and linoleic acids) and phytosterols (including beta-sitosterol). These active compounds help modulate hormone metabolism—specifically by interacting with 5-alpha-reductase enzymes.

Traditional Uses: Saw Palmetto is a specialized tonic with a long history of traditional and clinical application. It is traditionally used to:

• Support healthy prostate size, urinary flow, and comfort in aging men

• Ease nighttime urinary frequency and support complete bladder emptying

• Encourage healthy hair growth and combat hair thinning by supporting hormonal balance in both men and women

• Provide deep nutritive support to the reproductive and glandular systems

Preparation: Because Saw Palmetto's active constituents are primarily fat-soluble oils and fatty acids, preparation matters.

• Liposterolic Extract / Capsules: Standardized lipid extracts in softgel capsules are the most clinically effective and popular way to consume saw palmetto.

• Decoction: Whole dried berries can be simmered, though fat-soluble active compounds are only minimally water-extractable, making alcohol or oil-based extractions far superior.
