Serenoa repens, most commonly called saw palmetto, is traditionally used for men's health issues related to prostate health, genitourinary health, and testosterone regulation. Saw palmetto has gained attention for its ability to block the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is considered a more potent androgen and the form responsible for hair loss, as well as contributing to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract (LUT) symptoms.
Modern research on saw palmetto for BPH and LUTS is quite mixed, with early trials and smaller samples finding more significant benefits. That being said, positive trials show notable benefits for BPH in the areas of urine flow rates and nighttime urination frequency. Saw palmetto does not appear to physically change the size of the prostate itself. A unique study also found benefits in the regrowth of men's hair on the crown of the head when 320 mg of saw palmetto was taken for 2 years. The minimum evidence-based dosage for positive effects appears to be 160 to 320 mg per day.
