Saw Palmetto Extract Powder

Description

Saw Palmetto Extract Powder (also known as Serenoa serrulata or Sabal serrulata) is a palm plant that grows in the southeastern region of the United States. It has long, pointy leaves and produces small berries. These berries were traditionally used by the Native American Seminole tribe in hopes that they would help with urinary, reproductive and other health issues.¹

How Is Saw Palmetto Extract Powder Used?

Saw palmetto is used as a dietary supplement to potentially help with issues caused by excess testosterone levels in the body. Saw palmetto extract can take the form of:

• Tablets or capsules
• Ground
• Dried
• Whole berries
• Liquid extract
• Tea

When taken in supplement form, saw palmetto may support healthy levels of testosterone in the body, as well as the body’s natural cell growth cycle.

Does Testosterone Affect Skin Health? You may not immediately connect testosterone to skin health. But they are in fact closely linked. Testosterone levels can affect the appearance and condition of skin for both men and women.

Testosterone can have an impact on a variety of skin factors including:

• Skin thickness
• Skin texture
• Sebum (oil) production
• Pore size
• Skin blemishes and lesions
• Skin barrier function
• Skin sensitivity
• Skin cell turnover

Potential Benefits of Saw Palmetto On Skin

Help Nourish Skin with Fatty Acids: Saw palmetto contains several essential fatty acids, including:

• Laurate
• Myristate
• Palmitate
• Stearate
• Oleate
• Linoleate

Essential fatty acids are a boon for skin health. They are essential for fighting the visible signs of aging, including damage caused by the sun.

It May Support Natural Cell Growth: Saw palmetto contains antioxidants like epicatechin, hydroxybenzoic acid, and methylgallate. These antioxidant compounds may support the body’s natural defense against oxidative stress, and therefore support the skin’s overall health and appearance.

Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) is an extract that you may want to consider adding to your beauty routine, especially when it comes to supporting the health of your skin and hair.
