A Berry From The American Southeast
Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) is a small palm native to the southeastern United States, and its berries have a long history of traditional use specifically among men, distinct from most of the other botanicals in this stack which trace back to Asian traditional medicine.
Why It's Here Specifically
Saw Palmetto is traditionally associated with supporting healthy prostate function as men age — a different focus than the hormone or circulation angle of the stack's other ingredients. Its inclusion broadens the formula's coverage into an area specifically relevant to aging men that the other six botanicals don't directly address.
The Dose In Context
At 20mg, Horsewood's amount is on the lower end compared to some standalone Saw Palmetto products, which often use several hundred milligrams. Its role here is as one contributor among seven rather than a dedicated prostate-support product.
Worth Knowing
Saw Palmetto has a generally mild safety profile. It's occasionally associated with mild digestive upset in sensitive individuals. As with any hormone-adjacent botanical, mention it to a doctor if you're on hormone therapy.
This is a nutritional supplement ingredient, not a drug, and none of the information above is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult a doctor before use if you take blood pressure medication, blood thinners, hormone therapy, or have a history of hormone-sensitive cancer. Not intended for anyone under 18 or for women.
