PalmettoGuard Saw Palmetto with Beta-Sitosterol

30-Softgels

£20.00

Life Extension PalmettoGuard® Saw Palmetto with Beta-Sitosterol helps support prostate function for an enlarged prostate. Published studies suggest that a remarkably high percentage of men will endure some form of prostate-induced discomfort over the course of their lifetimes. Decades of research substantiate saw palmetto as the gold standard in natural prostate support.

The saw palmetto berry (Serenoa repens) is rich in bioactive, high-molecular weight compounds including beta-sitosterol. It has been shown to interfere with DHT activity in the prostate, inhibit alpha-adrenergic receptor activity (to support normal urinary flow), and help regulate inflammatory actions in the prostate gland.

Life Extension PalmettoGuard Saw Palmetto combines saw palmetto with boron and rosemary to support a healthy prostate. Testosterone converts to oestrogen at higher rates as men age. Prostate cells are sensitive to oestrogen's growth stimulatory effects. (1-4)

This saw palmetto extract has been standardized to contain 272 milligrams total fatty acids and sterols per one softgel capsule.
