Saw Palmetto

Saw Palmetto is a herb that has traditionally been used for the male reproductive tract.

It has been shown in recent studies to have a beneficial effect particularly upon the prostate, and can lead to a reduction in the size of an enlarged prostate brought about in old age – benign prostatic hypertrophy.

It may also have benefits in impotence, and may stimulate the sex drive.

In women it may be used to assist bust development, or in the development of the pelvic organs.

It is often recommended with other herbs, according to the condition being treated, and also in combination with Zinc.

Recommended Dosage

1 – 2 capsules daily, preferably in divided doses, preferably with food.

May be increased if necessary – as advised by a health practitioner.

Saw Palmetto is well tolerated at the normal dosage.

There are no known contra-indications at the normal dosage.
