Scientific Summary

Saw palmetto is the fruit of the Serenoa repens plant, a small shrub native to the southeastern United States. It is most commonly used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, such as urinary urgency and weak stream. Users should be aware that it can cause mild digestive upset, and it may interact with blood‑thinning or hormone‑modulating medications; discuss use with a healthcare professional if you have underlying health conditions.
