Nutricost Saw Palmetto 500mg
by Nutricost
"240 capsules of saw palmetto — the DHT-blocking herb for prostate health and hair loss prevention at under $18"
Overview
Nutricost Saw Palmetto provides 500mg of saw palmetto berry extract per capsule. Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) is the most widely used herbal supplement for prostate health, with research suggesting it inhibits 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Elevated DHT is associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness). At 240 capsules for under $18, this provides an 8-month supply at a fraction of prescription alternatives.
