Botanical Prostate Support

palmetto berries and pygeum contain a unique class of fatty acids which
have the ability to inhibit the conversion of testosterone to
dihydrotestosterone in the prostate. This compound utilizes standardized
and concentrated amounts of saw palmetto and pygeum along with pumpkin
seed oil. In addition, these are combined with other key botanicals
known to support a healthy genitourinary system.
Saw Palmetto Classic™
Botanical Support for Men's Health
Prostate
health has become one of the most serious issues facing American men
this decade-and aging is not the only culprit. The chemical environment
created by industrialized nations poses a major challenge to the
prostate gland. Now science is verifying the botanical wisdom of
traditional Native American herbalist, who relied on the berries of the
saw palmetto tree to support men's health.
Saw Palmetto Classic™
is a comprehensive formula that combines saw palmetto with additional
respected botanicals known to support the prostate gland.
Hormones and the Prostate Gland
The
prostate is a walnut-sized gland located under the bladder, surrounding
the urinary tract in men. Beginning in their forties, men experience an
increase in the amount of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent male
hormone, in the prostate. The formation of DHT is further increased by
xenoestrogens in the environment. These are substances such as certain
pesticides, treated foods, synthetic organochlorines, and other
"endocrine disrupters" that block or mimic natural hormones.
Saw
palmetto is believed to help prevent the conversion of testosterone to
DHT, and accelerate the breakdown and elimination of DHT from prostate
tissues. Its natural phytoestrogens also may block artificial
estrogen-like compounds from accumulating in prostate tissue. Thus it
offsets the hormonal imbalances caused by aging and environmental
challenges.
For centuries, saw palmetto berries (Serenoa repens) were used as food by Native Americans. They are rich in terols and fatty acids.
Planetary
Herbals Saw Palmetto Classic is an original, clinically derived formula
developed by acupuncturist, herbalist and author, Michael Tierra. It
combines a standardized saw palmetto extract with additional botanicals
traditionally used to support a healthy genitourinary system. Featured
are three of the most respected botanicals known to have an affinity for
the prostate gland--saw palmetto berries, pumpkin seed oil extract, and
pygeum bark.
Saw Palmetto Classic combines a concentrated and
standardized saw palmetto extract with pumpkin seed oil extract
standardized to 25% fatty acids and pygeum bark extract standardized to
2.5% sterols. In addition to these beneficial fatty acids, pumpkin seeds
are rich in zinc, a mineral essential to normal prostate function.
These herbs are further complemented by ten additional traditional
botanicals, to support the male genitourinary system.
