Improved Urinary Flow

Saw palmetto improves urinary flow by reducing prostate size, which alleviates pressure on the urethra. This results in better urinary flow rate and reduced residual urine volume.

Saw palmetto reduces pressure on the urethra by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to prostate enlargement. This reduction in DHT levels leads to a decrease in prostate size, thereby alleviating pressure on the urethra. The resulting outcome is improved urinary flow rate, reduced residual urine volume after urination, and decreased frequency of urination, particularly at night (nocturia).
