Natural Factors Saw Palmetto 500mg 90 Capsules

Saw palmetto is one of nature’s best-known botanicals for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate. Symptoms can occur in men in midlife, more commonly after age 50, with prevalence increasing with age. The berries of the saw palmetto plant are used to help urological symptoms of mild-to-moderate BPH, such as weak urine flow, incomplete voiding, and frequent daytime and nighttime urination.

• Used in herbal medicine to help relieve urological symptoms associated with mild-to-moderate BPH (enlarged prostate gland)
• Helps relieve urological symptoms of BPH, such as weak urine flow, incomplete voiding, and frequent daytime and nighttime urination
• Features 500 mg of saw palmetto extract per capsule

Nearly every man over the age of 45 has some enlargement of the prostate gland, the small male sex glands that encircle the urethra. Enlargement and inflammation of the prostate can hinder urine flow and affect sexual function. Frequent nighttime 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.

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.
