Buy Saw Palmetto – Extracts from the Fruit of Serenoa repens
Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) is a low-growing fan palm native to the south-eastern United States. Its dark berries are used, which are rich in fatty acids and phytosterols – plant compounds from the sterol group. In this category you'll find saw palmetto extracts from Scheunengut, standardised, vegan and lab-tested.
Origin & Production
The ripe fruits of the saw palmetto are dried and then extracted. A fat-rich extract is obtained from the fruit flesh, containing the characteristic free fatty acids and sterols. The raw material mostly comes from wild-growing stands and cultivated growing areas.
Standardisation & Form
What matters is the standardised fatty acid content – high-quality extracts often show around 85 to 95%. Saw palmetto is available as capsules or powder, often combined with pumpkin seed, nettle or African plum tree.
