Bioforce A.Vogel Saw Palmetto, Saw Palmetto is made from the oily berries of the Saw Palm, which is to be found in the Florida Everglades.

The uses of this dwarf palm were known to the Seminole.

The Saw Palms, which provide the berries for this remedy, are carefully husbanded in their native habitat using an organic protocol and are protected from other pollutants.
 
This is a small palm with fan-shaped leaves.

The fruit, which is dark red, is the size of an olive and contains a volatile oil known as Saw Palmetto oil.

It is the fruit that is used medicinally.

How it works :
The condition of an enlarged prostate is commonly found in men over the age of 50.
 
This enlargement is the result of the cells in the prostate reacting to increasing levels of inflammatory hormones in the male body.
 
Cells of the prostate enlarge, which in turn cause the whole gland to increase in size.

Saw Palmetto prevents the production of specific inflammatory hormones and dampens the inflammatory response of the prostate cells.

This is a local effect, confined to the prostate gland.

What is it used for?

For the relief of urinary discomfort in men with an enlarged prostate (BPH)
The need to urinate frequently (especially at night)
Weak or interrupted urinary flow
A feeling that you cannot empty your bladder completely
