Saw palmetto is a botanical substance derived from the berries of *Serenoa repens*, functioning as a dietary supplement or herbal medicinal product rather than a formal therapeutic drug class.
Pharmacologically, its liposterolic extracts are thought to exert antiandrogenic effects—primarily via inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase, preventing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone—as well as mild anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative properties.
It is predominantly utilized to manage lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia and is also frequently used for androgenetic alopecia.
However, authoritative health agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and major clinical trials report that evidence supporting its clinical efficacy in these indications remains inconsistent and inconclusive.
