It is not a treatment for prostate cancer or severe BPH. It is not intended for females who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or attempting to conceive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach capsule contains 400mg of Serenoa repens fruit extract at a 10:1 concentration ratio, equivalent to 4,000mg of crude saw palmetto fruit (QCE). Manufactured in Canada to GMP standards under the Nutridom brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBenign prostatic hyperplasia is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that is common in adult males, particularly with advancing age. BPH can cause lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) including increased urinary frequency, urgency, weak urinary stream, incomplete bladder emptying, and nocturia (waking at night to urinate).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese symptoms require medical evaluation before any supplement is used, because urologic symptoms can be caused by conditions other than BPH, including prostate cancer, that require different medical management. Saw palmetto is licensed for mild to moderate BPH symptoms only, not for severe BPH or prostate cancer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSaw Palmetto: The Herbal Medicine Background\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSaw palmetto (Serenoa repens) is a small palm native to the southeastern United States, particularly Florida and the Gulf Coast. Its berries have been used in traditional herbal medicine for men's urologic health for over a century and are among the most studied botanical supplements for BPH associated urologic symptom relief in North America and Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary bioactive constituents are fatty acids (lauric acid, myristic acid, oleic acid) and phytosterols (beta sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol), concentrated in the lipophilic fraction of the berry extract. This formula uses a 10:1 concentrated extract to deliver 400mg of extract per capsule, equivalent to 4,000mg of crude saw palmetto fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eUnderstanding 10:1 Extract and QCE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 10:1 extract ratio means 10 parts of crude saw palmetto fruit produce 1 part of finished extract. Each capsule contains 400mg of this concentrated extract. The quantity crude equivalent (QCE) of 4,000mg is the amount of crude fruit the extract is derived from, expressed as a Health Canada standardized labelling figure. The actual extract content per capsule is 400mg. When comparing saw palmetto supplements, look for the extract ratio and actual milligrams of extract, not just the QCE number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMedicinal Ingredient (per capsule)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaw Palmetto (Serenoa repens, fruit) 400mg\u003c\/strong\u003e 10:1 concentrated extract | QCE 4,000mg | Used in herbal medicine to help relieve urologic symptoms associated with mild to moderate BPH | NPN 80140496\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon medicinal ingredients: Hypromellose (vegetable capsule shell), microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuality and Trust\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNPN 80140496\u003c\/strong\u003e Licensed by Health Canada as a Natural Health Product\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in Canada\u003c\/strong\u003e GMP certified facility under Health Canada oversight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThird party tested\u003c\/strong\u003e Purity and potency independently verified\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10:1 concentrated extract\u003c\/strong\u003e 400mg per capsule | 4,000mg QCE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVegan capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e Hypromellose shell, no gelatin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon GMO | Gluten free | Soy free | Dairy free\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e120 capsules\u003c\/strong\u003e At 1 capsule per day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdults: Take 1 capsule once daily with food to minimize gastric disturbance.
