Saw Palmetto

Never heard of saw palmetto? It’s time to get to know this berry that comes from shrub trees because it’s been used for centuries as a remedy for reproductive and urinary tract issues.

According to the team at Take Care Of, saw palmetto berries have been traditionally used for prostate health for many years.

Early clinical data suggest the saw palmetto extract may help support a healthy prostate, but larger and more recent clinical data did not support its efficacy.

Nonetheless, you can take saw palmetto supplements to improve urinary tract function, stop hair loss, support your prostate and sperm health, and apparently regulate your testosterone levels.

Healthline explains that the compounds in the berries are supposed to block the activity of 5-alpha reductase, which is an enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT.

That’s why it’s believed that the natural remedy can help you maintain testosterone levels as you age, and this can also lead to improvements in body composition, libido, and mood.
