Detailed description
Medical use
S. repens extract has
been researched into treatment for people with prostate cancer.[3] However,
according to the American Cancer Society, "available scientific studies do not support claims that
saw palmetto can prevent or treat prostate cancer in humans".[5]
A meta-analysis by the Cochrane Collaboration found that saw palmetto berry extract given
therapeutically, even at double and triple doses, did not improve urinary flow
or improve the prostate gland size in men with benign prostatic
hyperplasia (BPH).[6] Early meta-analyses
of clinical trials S. repens extract in the treatment of BPH
concluded that saw palmetto extract is safe and effective for mild-to-moderate
BPH compared to placebo, finasteride, and tamsulosin. Two larger
trials found the extract to be no different from placebo.
