Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) berry lipophilic extract is the most extensively studied botanical for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men. Its free fatty acids and phytosterols (beta-sitosterol, campesterol) non-selectively inhibit both 5-alpha reductase isoforms (5AR-1 and 5AR-2) — the enzymes converting testosterone to the more potent DHT that drives prostate epithelial proliferation. Unlike finasteride (which only inhibits 5AR-2), saw palmetto's dual isoform inhibition reduces DHT accumulation in prostate tissue while preserving systemic testosterone. The lipophilic extract at 320 mg daily is the dose validated in the largest double-blind trials and European Medicines Agency (EMA) monograph.
