Saw Palmetto
Sabal is the name given to the group of plants known as the ‘New World Palms’ or simply as Palmetto. The Sabal group of plants can be found all over the world, but Sabal serrulata (also known as Serenoa repens and by the common names Saw palmetto or Dwarf Palm) is only found in the Florida Everglades.
Saw Palmetto Benefits
The fruit or berries of Sabal serrulata are used to make Sabal serrulata tincture. These are the size of olives and contain an oil known simply as ‘saw palmetto oil’, rich in a substance called β-sitosterol. Sabal serrulata berries are popular as a food supplement for many uses, including to help maintain the health of a normal prostate gland.
Sabal serrulata oil is used at a dose of 320mg to help relieve the symptoms of an enlarged prostate. See our page on Prostasan capsules for more information.
Sabal serrulata works by stopping the breakdown of testosterone into its byproduct, dihydrotestosterone. This byproduct helps the body hold on to more of its testosterone and create less dihydrotestosterone, which can slow or stop the growth of the prostate gland.
