OVERVIEW
We’ve set the absolute advantage
Serenoa repens, normally known as saw palmetto, is a low shrubby palm native to North America, where it grows in pine woods and among the sandy dunes in the coastal wetlands of South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia and Florida. Its partially dried, ripe fruits have long been used in traditional American medicine to support healthy prostate and bladder function1.
Conditions related to prostatic stress are one of the most common medical challenges in older men2. Sabalselect® is a highly standardized S. repens extract that has proven efficacy in maintaining healthy prostate function and supporting healthy bladder activity2,3.
When trying to find a natural and well-tolerated ally to prostate and bladder health, Sabalselect ® is the way.
Sabalselect® into action
Extensively human studies underline Sabalselect® effective activity in supporting healthy prostate function.2,3
Several researches support a multiple mechanism of action of Sabalselect® activity on modulation of 5α-reductase5,6, double action on cycloxygenase and lipoxygenase7, levelling of chemotactic leukotriene production by cells8, attenuation of response of prostate cells to growth factors9, modulatory effect on nuclear estrogen receptors10, α-adrenoceptor antagonistic properties11 and interference with the action of prolactin12.
Available in 2 physical forms – liquid extract and 30% powder extract – Sabalselect® is safe and very well tolerated.3
