Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) is a small palm native to the southeastern United States, whose berries have been used for centuries by indigenous peoples to support male urinary and reproductive wellbeing. Since the 1960s, saw palmetto extract has been the subject of extensive scientific study, and is widely used in Europe as a food supplement for prostate wellbeing.

Saw Palmetto extract works through several complementary mechanisms: the fatty acids and phytosterols it contains help support healthy male hormone balance by regulating the activity of 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme involved in testosterone metabolism; the plant’s active compounds support normal urinary function by helping maintain bladder and urethra muscle tone; and its natural antioxidant properties help protect prostate cells from oxidative stress.

This extract is aimed at adult men, particularly over 40, seeking to support prostate wellbeing, normal urinary comfort (supporting urine flow and reducing nighttime urgency), healthy hormone balance, and general antioxidant cell protection — one of the most widely used natural supplements for men’s overall wellbeing.

Take 1 softgel a day, ideally with a fat-containing meal to optimise absorption of the fat-soluble actives. Each bottle contains 90 softgels, covering a 3-month course; continuous use of at least 2–3 months is recommended for full effect. Intended for adult men.

Consult a healthcare professional before starting supplementation, particularly if on medication or with existing health conditions. This food supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light.

Saw Palmetto vs. dwarf palm — is it the same plant?

Yes — both refer to Serenoa repens. Now Foods’ extract is concentrated and standardised in fatty acids and phytosterols from the berries for optimal effectiveness.

How do I take it?

1 softgel a day with a fat-containing meal. The 90-softgel bottle covers a 3-month course; continuous use of at least 2–3 months is recommended, and it’s intended for adult men.

Can it be combined with other supplements?

Yes — zinc, lycopene, vitamin D and omega-3 are commonly paired with Saw Palmetto for a broader approach to men’s wellbeing.
