Saw Palmetto

A berry from a small American palm, traditionally used by men to support comfortable, healthy urination.

✨ How it may help

  • Traditionally used to support a comfortable, healthy prostate

  • May help support restful nights for men with occasional nighttime urges

🥄 How to use it

Saw palmetto is most often taken as a standardized capsule or extract; the dried berries can also be made into a tea, though the extract is more reliable. Follow the product label.
