| About us | COMMON NAME: Saw Palmetto, Sabal LATIN NAME: Serenoa serrulata, Seronoa repens, Sabal serulata ACTIVE SUBSTANCES: Saponins, fatty acids, phytosterols, volatile oil, resin, tannins DESCRIPTION: Saw Palmetto is a small palm tree with large leaves and large deep red-blackberries. The berries were used by the American Indians as a general tonic to nourish the body and encourage appetite and normal weight gain. The berries were also used in the treatment of genito-urinary tract problems including enuresis, nocturia, and urinary tract disorders. Recent clinical trials have shown that saw palmetto berries are helpful in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. PHYSIOLOGY: Saw Palmetto berries contain an oil with a variety of fatty acids and phytosterols. These fatty acids include capric, caprylic, caproic, lauric, palmitic, and oleic acid and their ethyl esters. The major phytosterols are beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol, cycloartenol, stigmasterol, cycloartenol, lupeol, lupenone, and 24-methyl-cyclo-artenol. The fat soluble extract of saw palmetto berries has been shown to inhibit the conversion of testosterone (DHT) which is thought to be responsible for the enlargement of the prostate. In addition saw palmetto extract inhibits the binding of DHT to receptors thus blocking DHT's action and promoting the breakdown of the potent compound. ACTIVE PROPERTIES: The North American Indians used saw palmetto berries as a remedy for atrophy of the testes, impotence, inflammation of the prostate, and low libido in men. The berries are also recommended for infertility, painful periods, and lactation in women. The berries also have a traditional use as a tonic and expectorant for mucous membranes, particularly the bronchial passages. DIRECTIONS FOR USE:320 mg/day BIO-ENHANCING AGENTS: African Pygeum TOXICITY, CAUTIONS & CONTRA-INDICATIONS: No reported toxicity Black Currant Extract Ribes Nigrum Common Name: Black Currant Latin Name: Ribes Nigrum Part of The Plant Used Fresh fruit Active Substances: Anthocyanosides, flavonoids Standard 25% anthocyanosides calculated as anthocyanidins Description: Black Currant is a perennial shrub native to Northern Europe, Northern America, and Canada. The Black Currant plant produces a fruit similar to the American blueberry, but containing higher quantities of constituents useful for visual acuity and night blindness. Pharmacology: Black Currant is rich in anthocyanosides. Over 15 different anthocyanosides have been found in Black Currant. Anthocyanosides help to maintain the integrity of capillaries and to stabilize collagen. Anthocyanosides are also potent antioxidants. Numerous clinical studies have shown that Black Currant is effective in the treatment of circulation disorders, varicose veins, and other venous and arterial disorders. The anthocyanosides protect veins and arteries by stabilizing the phospholipids of the endothelial cells, and by increasing the synthesis of collagen and mucopolysaccharides which give the arterial walls their structural integrity. Antho-cyanosides also prevent the aggregation and adherence of platelets to endothelial surfaces. Studies have also shown that Black Currant can act as a coadjutant in heme-ralopy and diabetic retinopathy and can stimulate rhodopsin production. Processing: Extratction with a hydromethanolic solution |
