The Saw Palmetto Plant

This extract is taken from the deep purple berries of the saw palmetto fan palm, which is known as Serenoa repens. Saw palmetto is a fan palm that grows as a tree or shrub and has lush, green leaves that fan out from its thorn stem. It can reach heights of 10 feet in warm climates, with leaf clusters that can reach two feet or more.

The plant is a native of West Indies, and in the United States, saw palmetto grows in the warm climates of the southeast coast, from South Carolina to throughout Florida.

The benefits have been known for centuries, and the plant has been used in traditional, eclectic and alternative medicine. Its active ingredients include fatty acids, plant sterols and flavonoids. The berries also contain high molecular weight polysaccharides (sugars), which may reduce inflammation and strengthen the immune system — thus adding immune system booster to the list of saw palmetto benefits.

The benefits have been known for a long time. The plant was used for medicine by the Native Americans of the south eastern United States, and in the early 20th century, men used the berries to treat urinary tract problems and increase sperm production.

Today, saw palmetto supplements are one of the most commonly consumed supplements by men with prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In fact, in 2011, over $18 million in saw palmetto was sold in the United States, ranking it third among herbal dietary supplements.
