Saw Palmetto is a small palm plant whose berries are commonly used in supplements to support prostate health, especially in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
It is believed to inhibit the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to prostate enlargement and hair loss. Many users find it beneficial for improving urinary symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate, such as frequency and urgency.
Additionally, Saw Palmetto is sometimes used by those seeking a natural approach to mitigate hair thinning. It is available in various forms, including capsules, tablets, and liquid extracts.
