Lipophilic extracts of Saw palmetto berries, rich in fatty acids and sterols are currently approved by medical scientists for treatment of BPH.

Pharmacological actions:

Liposterolic Saw palmetto extract has been found to be an inhibitor of 5-alpha-reductase resulting in decreased dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It also competitively inhibits binding of testosterone and DHT to cytosolic and nuclear androgen receptors.

◆ Anti-estrogenic effectt
Anti-estrogenic effect of Saw palmetto is possibly due to competitively blocking translocation of cytosolic estrogen receptors to the nucleus.

◆ Anti-inflammatory effect
Extracts of Saw palmetto have demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity. Inhibition of the synthesis of arachidonic acid inflammatory metabolites, through a double blocking of cyclooxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase pathways results in anti-inflammatory properties.
