Moderate EvidenceEvidence Summary
Saw palmetto extract at 320 mg/day has shown significant improvements in lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and quality of life in men with BPH, including improved IPSS scores and uroflowmetry parameters (PMIDs: 39675037, 39042923). For hair loss, proprietary saw palmetto extracts have demonstrated significant increases in terminal hair count, hair density, and reductions in hair shedding in both men and women with androgenetic alopecia or self-perceived thinning hair over 90–180 days (PMIDs: 41652806, 41319217, 38021422). In a retrospective cohort study, alpha-blocker plus saw palmetto combination therapy showed an 80% clinical response rate for chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome, outperforming alpha-blocker monotherapy (PMID: 41414816).
