Sawpalmetto Concentrate

Often a herb is either refereed to as a "female" or a "male" herb. Such is the case with saw palmetto. Whether it be saw palmetto or Korean Ginseng (Panax) known as male herbs, or dong quai and black cohosh , known as female herbs, these herbs and others in this category, are equally effective in treating a female's or a male's condition when appropriate.

Even though saw palmetto is best known these days for it's ability to shrink an enlarged prostrate gland in a man, a century ago, this same herb was best known as a folk approach to breast enlargement. Some naturopath physicians and herbalists still continue to recommend it for this purpose.

Benign prostatic hypertrophy or hyperplasia (BPH) is considered to be caused by testosterone accumulating in the prostate. The testosterone is then converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which causes the cells to multiply to quickly and leads to enlargement of the prostate. Saw palmetto prevents testosterone from converting to dihydrotestosterone. We know that DHT kills off hair follicles and this herb blocks the formation of DHT so it may also prevent hair loss.
