Saw Palmetto is widely used in supplements to improve prostate health, balance hormone levels and can prevent hair loss of men. It has been marketed as an aphrodisiac for both men and women.

The active ingredients contains volatile oil, steroidal saponin, tannins, and polysaccharides. Be known as a tonic,saw palmetto is one of the few herbal remedies that are considered to be anabolic, it strengthens and builds body tissues.

For men it treats an enlarged and weakened prostate gland. It has shown significant action in treatment of conditions associated with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Saw palmetto extract works to prevent testosterone from converting into dihydrotestosterone, the hormone thought to cause prostrate cells to multiply, leading to an enlarged prostate. It is chiefly used as a diuretic and to tone the bladder by improving urinary flow, and relieving strain.
