Q.What is Saw Palmetto?
A.Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens/Sabal serrulata) is a palm like plant with berries that were a staple food and medicine for the Native Americans of the southeastern United States. In the early 1900s, men used the berries to treat urinary tract problems, and even to increase sperm production and boost libido.
Q.Why do people take saw palmetto?
A.Saw palmetto has caught on in the U.S. as a treatment for enlarged prostate -- benign prostate hyperplasia, or BPH. While the evidence is mixed, multiple studies have shown an improvement in symptoms of enlarged prostate. Studies have shown it can reduce the need to urinate in the night and improve urinary flow and painful urination. In fact, a large analysis of multiple studies concluded that saw palmetto produced similar benefit to finasteride, a drug for enlarged prostate, and was better tolerated. Saw palmetto may also boost the general quality of life for men with BPH.Laboratory studies suggest that saw palmetto lowers the levels of several male sex hormones. Although prostate cancer can be affected by these hormones, there's no evidence that saw palmetto is an effective treatment for prostate cancer.
