Background and Use

Saw Palmetto was traditionally used by Native Americans and in the 19th Century, it was used by naturopaths for the Genitourinary system or endocrine-related health. Commonly prescribed in Europe, Saw Palmetto is now the most commonly used alternative herb used for prostate health in the US.

The key constituents in Saw Palmetto maintain urinary and prostate function by promoting healthy testosterone levels and maintainenance of normal fluid levels in the body.

Pygeum originates from Africa where it has been used medicinally for thousands of years by traditional healers have to treat bladder and urination disorders, particularly symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH), which is an enlarged prostate. Historically, the bark was powdered and used to make a tea, which was taken by mouth for these conditions. Studied since the 1970's this herb is gaining popularity in the US, just as is has done in Europe.

Several population studies have correlated high intake of Lycopene-containing foods or high Lycopene serum levels with reduced incidence of disease. Further investigations are warranted.

Zinc appears to be an essential trace element for the immune system, and further research is needed to confirm the few studies that have been done.

Copper is added to balance the Zinc, which if taken without copper may cause a copper deficiency.
