Product Description
Saw Palmetto Classic
Comprehensive Formula With Pygeum and Pumpkin Seed
Botanical Prostate Support

Planetary Formulas Saw Palmetto Classic is a comprehensive formula designed to support the prostate. Saw palmetto berries and pygeum contain a unique class of fatty acids that have the ability to inhibit the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone in the prostate. This compound utilizes standardized and concentrated amounts of saw palmetto and pygeum, along with pumpkin seed oil, a rich source of zinc that is necessary for prostate health. These are combined with other key botanicals, known to support a healthy genitourinary system.

Hormones and the Prostate Gland
Recent statistics have revealed some alarming findings - the prostate gland has become an issue for men in the industrialized nations. No longer is aging alone to blame. Chemical toxins in our food and environment are rapidly contributing to the rising incidence of diminished prostate function. By their forties, many men experience a hormonal shift that can affect the size of the prostate gland.

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that surrounds the urethra in males. Beginning in their forties, men experience a change in hormone levels that may increase the prostate's size. This growth is related to a significant increase inside the prostate of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent male hormone. As men age, the prostate loses its ability to break down and remove DHT.

The formation of DHT is further increased by certain pesticides, treated foods, synthetic organochlorines, and other "endocrine disrupters" that block or mimic natural hormones. These synthetic hormones are believed to affect the prostate and contribute to lower sperm counts.

Saw palmetto supplements offer support to the prostate gland by offsetting the repercussions of both the natural hormonal shift and the environmental challenge. Recent clinical tests in Europe have demonstrated the benefits of 320 mg of saw palmetto extract as a daily dietary supplement. Prosta Palmetto contains only superior saw palmetto.

Saw Palmetto - Prostate Friendly
For centuries, berries of a small palm tree called saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) were used as food by Native Americans. Its berries are rich in sterols and fatty acids that naturally migrate to the prostate. Here they help prevent the conversion of testosterone to DHT, and accelerate the breakdown and elimination of DHT from prostate tissues. Its natural phytoestrogens also can block artificial estrogenlike compounds from accumulating in prostate tissue.

In Europe, saw palmetto extract has been studied in double-blind clinical tests. Men who were given saw palmetto extract showed consistent and statistically significant results. Planetary Formulas Prosta Palmetto is standardized to 85-95% fatty acids and sterols. One tablet contains the amount of saw palmetto used in these recent European studies.

Saw Palmetto Classic combines a concentrated and standardized saw palmetto extract with pumpkin seed oil extract standardized to 25% fatty acids and pygeum bark extract standardized to 2.5% fatty acids. In addition to these beneficial fatty aced, pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc, a mineral essential to normal prostate function. These herbs are further complemented by ten additional traditional botanicals, to support the male genitourinary system.
