The Saw Palmetto tincture (Serenoa repens) is prepared from the fruits of the plant Serenoa repens and is known for its medicinal properties, mainly in the treatment of prostate and urinary tract disorders. It is widely used in natural medicine to support male reproductive health.
Chemical Composition
The Saw Palmetto tincture contains various active compounds that contribute to its therapeutic properties:
- Fatty acids: Free and esterified fatty acids, mainly lauric acid, myristic acid and palmitic acid.
- Phytosterols: Such as β-sitosterol, which are important for the anti-inflammatory action.
- Flavonoids: Powerful antioxidants that protect cells from oxidative damage.
- Polysaccharides: Substances that strengthen the immune system.
- Tannins: With astringent and anti-inflammatory properties.
Pharmacological Properties
- Anti-inflammatory Action: Saw Palmetto has strong anti-inflammatory action, mainly due to the presence of phytosterols and fatty acids, helping to reduce inflammation in the prostate.
- Inhibitory Action on Dihydrotestosterone (DHT): Saw Palmetto inhibits the action of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, reducing the production of DHT, which is involved in prostate enlargement.
- Diuretic Action: The tincture has a mild diuretic effect, helping to improve urinary system function and reduce symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
- Hormonal Regulation: Saw Palmetto helps regulate male hormones and is useful in managing symptoms related to androgen imbalance.
- Antioxidant Action: The flavonoid compounds protect cells from oxidative stress, contributing to the overall health of the reproductive system.
Indications
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Saw Palmetto tincture is mainly used to relieve symptoms of prostate enlargement, such as frequent urination and difficulty urinating.
- Male Androgenetic Alopecia: Used to prevent hair loss, as reduced DHT is also associated with hair loss in men.
- Urinary Disorders: Used to improve the function of the urinary system, particularly in men with prostate-related symptoms.
Dosage
