Products Description

Saw Palmetto Extract is a natural plant extract derived from the mature dried fruits of Serenoa repens, a low shrubby palm species of the Serenoa genus in the Arecaceae family. Featuring distinctly serrated leaf margins, the plant produces dark purple mature fruits, each measuring approximately 1 to 2 centimeters in diameter.

As a multi-component natural mixture, Saw Palmetto Extract is mainly composed of a full range of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, including oleic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, linoleic acid, stearic acid and linolenic acid. It also contains associated phytosterols such as β-sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol, together with terpenoid volatile compounds, trace amounts of flavonoids, polysaccharides and trace elements. The product is identified by the industry-standard CAS number 84604-15-9.Saw Palmetto Fatty Acids 25% is a widely adopted basic standardized specification in the industry, referring to a finished product with a minimum mass content of 25% total fatty acids as tested via Gas Chromatography (GC). This specification is typically presented as white to off-white fine powder with a standard particle size of 80 mesh. Its quality control covers multiple indicators including impurities, microbial limits and heavy metal residues, with requirements of no exogenous adulteration, non-irradiated treatment and non-GMO status, fully conforming to the general quality specifications for plant extracts.

Function

Regulates hormone metabolism in prostate tissue, inhibits 5α-reductase activity and reduces excessive dihydrotestosterone production, so as to relieve urinary discomforts caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia, such as frequent nocturia, weak urine flow and incomplete voiding.
Delivers natural anti-inflammatory properties, alleviates mild inflammatory reactions in urinary system soft tissues and eases distending discomfort caused by urethral compression.
The rich unsaturated fatty acids help repair mucosal barriers and maintain the normal physiological environment of the lower urinary tract. With mild and non-irritating properties, regular long-term intake can steadily improve prostate-related sub-health conditions.

Application
