Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) is a plant that grows in the southeastern United States, and its berries have been used for medicinal purposes for centuries. It is commonly used to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate and for conditions affecting the urinary tract.
The exact mechanism by which saw palmetto works for medicinal purposes is not completely understood. However, it is believed to work by reducing the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is a hormone that can cause prostate growth. Additionally, saw palmetto may also have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
The active ingredients in saw palmetto that are important for its medicinal properties include fatty acids and phytosterols.
Saw palmetto is available in a variety of forms, including capsules, tablets, tinctures, and extracts.
The first use of saw palmetto for medicinal purposes dates back to the indigenous people of the southeastern United States, who used the berries for various conditions. However, its use as a treatment for symptoms of an enlarged prostate became more widespread in the 20th century.

This app is so cool! I've always wanted there to be a hub for all NATURAL remedies and preventative options but l've always had to do loads of digging to find the info I wanted for different natural products. HealisticMD has all the info I need in one place. It gave me various natural supplemental options for a condition I looked up, including what each remedy does and how much is usually recommended to take. It also gave me exact products I could buy for the problem I had looked up. It makes my process SO MUCH easier when I need to find non-pharmaceutical solutions to my needs.

There is a wealth of information on the app! I recently had bloodwork done and found I was deficient in a handful of vitamins and minerals (Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Iron, etc.) HealisticMD made it simple for me to find out what foods to eat/ supplements I needed to improve these deficiencies. It gives you so many ideas on prevention, natural health tips, where to buy the vitamins, when to take them, why, etc. I love how easy the app is to use too. I am currently working on getting pregnant. I was pleasantly surprised to find compelling data along with supplement suggestions to aid in the process, some of which my fertility doctor wasn’t even aware of. Highly recommend downloading, after all health is one our greatest gifts!
