Product Description:  Plant-Based Support for Men's Health Saw Palmetto berries contain a variety of fatty acids and sterols that help support prostate and male urinary system health. A healthy prostate is very important for proper function of the male urinary and reproductive system. Also Saw palmetto is often used as a herbal remedy to prevent or reverse hair loss by blocking the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a sex hormone that's linked to hair loss. Saw palmetto is thought to work by: Blocking 5-alpha reductase Saw palmetto's fatty acids may inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into DHT. This slows down DHT production and reduces its ability to bind to hormone receptors. Reducing DHT uptake Saw palmetto may also reduce the amount of DHT that's absorbed into hair follicles, which further decreases its ability to bind to hormone receptors. Increasing 3α-hydroxysteroid-dehydrogenase Saw palmetto may also increase the activity of 3α-hydroxysteroid-dehydrogenase, an enzyme that converts DHT into androstanediol, a weaker metabolite. Reducing inflammation Saw palmetto may also reduce inflammation in the scalp, which can damage hair follicles and prevent them from growing hair.  Suggested use: Take one soft gel up to two times daily.
