The berries of saw palmetto, or Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) are traditionally used by American Indians to ease the urinary tract and treat genital problems.
More than twenty studies in controlled double-blind against placebo showed the effectiveness of the extract of palm saw to relieve the symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy. It works by multiple mechanisms: It seems to interfere with the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase. It also prevents DHT from binding to the androgen receptor in the cells of the prostate.
