Saw palmetto is most well-known for supporting prostate health. Saw palmetto is used primarily to support glandular tissues (especially the prostate gland) and to maintain optimal balance in hormone levels. Scientific research validates its use for supporting prostate health. Each softgel capsule provides a minimum of 85 percent fatty acids and phytosterols, including beta-sitosterol. These fatty acids are the most sought-after components in saw palmetto.
