Saw Palmetto Extract is derived from the berries of the Serenoa repens plant. It contains bioactive compounds like fatty acids (e.g., lauric acid) and phytosterols, which may support prostate health by inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase (an enzyme linked to benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH). It’s commonly used to improve urinary flow, reduce inflammation, and balance hormones. Some studies suggest benefits for hair loss (androgen-related) and urinary tract symptoms. Potential side effects include mild digestive upset. Always consult a doctor before use, especially with medications.
Saw Palmetto Extract | Urinary-hormone regulation system
Extraction process
Supercritical CO₂ full spectrum retention technology:
Fatty acids are completely retained: Lauric acid, oleic acid, etc. ≥85% (GC-MS verification)
Sterol synergistic enrichment: β-sitosterol ≥2% (enhanced anti-inflammatory effect)
Quality certification:
United States Pharmacopoeia USP standard
European Pharmacopoeia EP certification
Non-GMO certification (IP testing)
Active fatty acids | Core mechanism of action
Key active ingredients:
Lauric acid (28-32%): Inhibit DHT production
Oleic acid (25-30%): Anti-prostate fibrosis
Myristic acid (15-18%): Regulate inflammatory factors
Multi-target regulation pathway:
Hormone balance
Inhibit 5α-reductase type II (DHT level ↓41%)
Block androgen receptor (fluorescence competition experiment IC50=8.2μM)
Anti-inflammatory effect
Reduce PGE2 (prostate tissue ↓58%)
Inhibit COX-2 expression (Western blot verification)
Bladder function
Enhance detrusor stability (urinary flow rate increased by 37%)
Reduce the number of nocturnal urinations (from 3.2 times → 1.7 times/night)
Clinical evidence of efficacyies
Prostate health
IPSS score: Decreased by 46% (3-month intervention in BPH patients)
Prostate volume: Reduced by 18% by ultrasound (6 months)
Urinary function
Maximum urine flow rate: From 9.1 → 12.7 mL/s (urodynamic test)
Residual urine volume: Reduced by 62% (bladder ultrasound)
Improvement of hair loss
Hair follicle miniaturization: Biopsy showed a reversal rate of 29% (Norwood III-IV grade)
Hair density: TrichoScan measurement increased by 22 hairs/cm²
Hormonal regulation
Sex hormone binding globulin: SHBG level increased by 35%
Estrogen balance: 16α-OH-E1 decreased by 28%

Application scenarios and formula guidelines
Prostate health
BPH sustained-release tablets: 320mg extract + pumpkin seed oil (8:1 synergistic)
Nocturia management soft capsules: Phospholipid complex (take before bedtime)
Male care
Anti-hair loss tincture: 5% saw palmetto + minoxidil (transdermal enhancement)
Hormone balancing powder: Compounded with nettle root extract
Urinary support
Bladder function tablets: Sustained-release technology (maintaining 12 hours of effect)
Urinary tract anti-inflammatory granules: Combined with cranberry (anti-adhesion)
Professional medical care
Preoperative preparation plan: High-dose short-term use (reduce intraoperative bleeding)
Alternative therapy kit: mismatched use with tadalafil
Use specifications and contraindications
Recommended dose
BPH management: 320mg/day (morning and evening split)
Hair loss intervention: 5% concentration for external use + 160mg/day for internal use
Acute symptoms: Can be increased to 480mg/day in the first week (short-term)
⛔ Precautions
PSA test: Need to be tested after 2 weeks of discontinuation (may slightly reduce PSA)
Anticoagulants: Need to be separated by 4 hours (potential synergistic effect)
Prepubertal: Prohibited (may interfere with hormone development)
FAQ
Q: What is the difference between saw palmetto and finasteride?
A: Natural multi-target regulation (inhibition of DHT + anti-inflammatory), no risk of drug-induced ED (clinical studies show that sexual function is affected by <1% vs 15% of finasteride).
Q: How long does it take to see improvement in urination?
A: Urine flow rate data show: effective within 2 weeks, peak effect in 8 weeks (IPSS score improvement is equivalent to that of drugs).
Q: Can women use it?
A: Low doses (80mg/day) are recommended for PCOS patients to regulate androgens, but pregnant women are prohibited (may affect hormone balance).
