Actions and pharmacology
Saw Palmetto is by far the most studied and most effective medicinal herb to treat benign prostate hyperplasia symptoms. It contains many active components: some hydrosoluble, like flavonoids, tannins and sugars, and some liposoluble, like carotene, sterols, fatty acids and fatty alcohols. These liposoluble molecules are demonstrated to be the most active in BPH treatment. The extracts in the studies were standardized to 80 to 95% liposoluble components.
Saw Palmetto extract works in many different ways. It inhibits the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, therefore reducing DHT production. This effect seems to be specific to the prostate.(2) Saw Palmetto also has an antagonist effect on DHT at the receptor level, reducing the impact of the cellular DHT. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect via cyclo-oxygenase and lipo-oxygenase inhibition (these two enzymes are responsible for the synthesis of inflammation factors like prostaglandins and leucotrienes).(3) Moreover, Saw Palmetto has an antispasmodic effect that could improve urinary symptoms.(4) However, it does not modify the circulating hormone levels, which confirms that it is effective only at the cellular level.(5)
The German Commission E acknowledges its benefits in cases of: urination problems in benign prostatic hyperplasia.
