What is Saw Palmetto?
Saw Palmetto has been widely used in Europe and Canada for years, and more recently in the United States. Saw Palmetto also known as Serenoa repens, Serenoa serrulata, and sabal. The fruits of the saw palmetto are highly enriched with fatty acids and phytosterols, and extracts of the fruits have been the subject of intensive research for the treatment of urinary tract infections. This extract is also commonly used for other medical issues. Saw Palmetto blankets forest floor in southern Highlands County, Florida, United States.
Saw palmetto is a fan palm (Arecaceae tribe Corypheae), with the leaves with a bare petiole terminating in a rounded fan of about 20 leaflets. The petiole is armed with fine, sharp teeth or spines that give the species its common name. The leaves are light green inland, and silvery-white in coastal regions. The leaves are 1-2 m in length, the leaflets 50-100 cm long. They are similar to the leaves of the palmettos of genus Sabal. The flowers are yellowish-white, about 5 mm across, produced in dense compound panicles up to 60 cm long. The fruit is a large reddish-black drupe and is an important food source for wildlife and historically for humans.
The plant part used is the berry, and the active constituents are free fatty acids and sterols that are standardised to 85-95%.
Pygeum: Many Benefits for Men’s Prostate Health
• Reducing Edema of the Prostate
• Lowers Cholesterol
• Helps Regulate the Immune System
• Regulates insulin activity
• Improves the Natural Flow of Prostatic Secretions
What is Pygeum?
Pygeum africanum is the bark of an evergreen tree native to certain regions of Africa. Generally the bark is not harvested until the tree is full grown. The bark contains three groups of active constituents: phytosterols (such as beta-sitosterol), pentacyclic triterpenoids (including ursolic and oleaic acids) and ferulic esters of long-chain fatty alcohols (including ferulic esters of docosanol and tetracosanol).
The tree's bark contains oil with many active ingredients; waxes, fatty acids, and other less familiar compounds. Pygeum's principal biological activity is traced to a "phytosterol" compound known as beta-sitosterol. Phyto (plant) sterols are structurally similar to, but much less efficiently absorbed from the diet than, cholesterol. The biological strength of phytosterols, however, is similar to that of hormones; therefore, a very small amount seems sufficient to initiate a response.
Why Should you take Pygeum?
Pygeum has been shown to have many benefits for a man's health and his prostate. Pygeum is Primarily used to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy or BPH, a condition which affects men as early as their 40s, but increasingly with age: 30% of fifty year olds; 50% of sixty year olds; and nearly 80% of men 70 and older. BPH implies two prostate changes: increased size and increase tissue density. These changes cause symptoms of frequent urge to urinate small volumes, reduced prostatic secretions, reduced bladder emptying. Incomplete bladder emptying increases risk of bladder infections, edema and inflammation. Blood sugar levels and immune function have also been found to improve.
