Super Saw Palmetto with Beta-Sitosterol
30 softgels
Item Catalog Number: 00807

The prostate gland is located just below the urinary bladder. The base or top of the prostate is intimately connected to the urinary bladder sphincter, or valve. The urethra, or channel for voiding of urine, passes through the center of the prostate. The apex or lower end of the prostate is connected to the penis.

The prostate of a baby boy is about the size of a pea. By age 21-30, the normal male will have a prostate gland that weighs 20 plus or minus 6 grams, which remains constant unless benign prostatic hypertrophy begins.1 Nearly 60% of men between the ages of 40 and 59 already suffer from an enlarging prostate,2 and at 80 years of age, approximately 80% of men will have an enlarged prostate gland.3

Saw palmetto acts as an alpha-adrenergic receptor inhibitor as well as an inhibitor of the 5alpha-reductase enzyme, promoting normal urinary flow and helping to control inflammatory actions in the prostate gland.* Beta-sitosterol helps support healthy prostate function by having a major effect on apoptosis, cell cycle progression, prostaglandin synthesis, and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), as well as inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase.35,36,37*

The supercritical CO2 saw palmetto extract in Super Saw Palmetto with Beta-Sitosterol has been standardized to contain 85-95% free fatty acids and sterols.
