Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) is classified as a plant-based, anti-inflammatory, and hormonal-balancing herb. It is most commonly used to support prostate health, particularly in men, and is known for its ability to reduce symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), such as frequent urination or difficulty urinating. Saw palmetto is also used to balance hormones, particularly in supporting healthy testosterone levels, and is sometimes used to alleviate symptoms related to hair loss or thinning, as it may block the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This herb is often consumed as a supplement, tincture, or in teas for its prostate and hormonal health benefits.
