It would be common nowadays to see supplements for women with saw palmetto in it.  Saw palmetto has been known for its various therapeutic effects, not just in women but in men as well.

Basically, saw palmetto is very similar to a palm tree.  It normally develops in certain America areas.  The fruit takes the form of a berry and oil can be extracted from it.  This oil is what is commonly incorporated in the supplements.  The main reason saw palmetto that is so effective is that it is able to inhibit the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body.

The following are the identified benefits of saw palmetto to women:

•    Hair loss remedy. Too much production of DHT in the body is pointed out to be the common cause of hair loss in women.  About 98% of this develops at the follicle.  Thus, as treatment, saw palmetto is massaged on the scalp.

•    Acne treatment. The same as hair loss, acne can also be the result of too much DHT production.  Regulation of this particular hormone can significantly treat acne.  However, not much scientific tests have been done to support this.

•    Breast enlargement. Not only is saw palmetto able to suppress DHT, it is, on the other hand, able to stimulate prolactin production, which is known to cause enlargement of the breast.  For women who have given birth, prolactin has also been found out to increase the production of milk so it is very ideal for breastfeeding mothers.

There are also other benefits which are common to both men and women.
