Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) berries contain compounds that naturally support hormone metabolism. The fat-soluble extract is most helpful for symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH or benign prostatic hyperplasia) and has also been used to treat prostatitis and urinary tract infections. Although primarily used for prostate problems in men, this extract may also benefit women who have conditions caused by excess androgen, such as hirsutism (excess facial hair) and polycystic ovarian disease. Nearly every man over the age of 45 has some enlargement of the prostate gland. Enlargement and inflammation of the prostate can hinder urine flow and affect sexual function. Frequent nightime urination, pain, burning and difficulty with urination are all symptoms of BPH. Conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone is a chemical reaction that contributes to prostate enlargement and its symptoms. Saw palmetto extract may inhibit this chemical reaction.
