Saw Palmetto Extract 160mg - New dose with the same efficacy as always
Saw Palmetto Extract (20:1) 160mg by EssentialSeries is a vegan food supplement in softgels made from Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) berry lipid extract. It is 20 times more concentrated than its native state and contains olive oil as an oily carrier to support the activity of its fat-soluble compounds.
Serenoa repens, also called Sabal serrulata and commonly known as Saw Palmetto, is a dwarf palm-type plant, native to the southeastern United States, growing naturally in regions such as Florida, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, and Louisina. The Saw Palmetto berry ripens between August and October when it is harvested. Its berries have traditionally been used by many American societies for nutritional use.
Saw Palmetto extract by HSN is an ultra-concentrated formulation of the plant's most highly prized lipid sterol fraction.

20 times more concentrated + Certified species + 100% Origin: Berry
Serenoa repens is the botanical species known as Saw Palmetto but is often confused and interbred with other palm-like Sabal species if production control is inadequate, hence the importance of experience in the management of this species.
Our extract is made from certified 100% authentic species of Serenoa repens, without hybrids with other palm species. Its fruit is unique, whose properties have been scientifically researched.
Many extracts on the market are made from plant parts other than the berry, which lowers the cost of the raw material but negatively affects its nutritional properties, reducing its content of fatty acids of nutritional interest.
Our Saw Palmetto extract is obtained from the Serenoa repens berry, with no other parts of the plant used for processing. 100% Saw Palmetto berry extract.
Besides, Saw Palmetto berry extraction methods are varied, and many use solvents that are aggressive to the natural composition of the plant's berry, which negatively affects the quality of the extract obtained.
At HSN, we use non-aggressive means of extraction with the raw material, which guarantees the integrity of its active ingredients in the best possible way, without degradation or alteration of its structure and functionality.
An extract with all the quality guarantees you need!
160mg dose per vegan softgel - More convenient and versatile - Adapted concentration
We are sure you are familiar with our Saw Palmetto Extract (20:1) 320mg, standardised to 85% fatty acids. It is one of our most successful food supplements.
We have noticed that our customers are interested in finding this supplement in a split-dose format, as the methodological protocols of administration of Saw Palmetto extracts in some scientific studies apply the use of 160mg twice a day, instead of the original and more recurrent dose of 320mg once a day.
Say no more! At HSN, we seek to offer solutions to all our customers' needs, and we are committed to maintaining the scientific research line.
We have developed our vegan food supplement in softgels with olive oil and half a dose, i.e. 160mg of Saw Palmetto berry liposterolic extract with 85% fatty acid content so that you can easily adapt to the required dose and take advantage of its versatility.
With gelatine-free vegetable glazing agent - Suitable for vegan diets
At HSN we have a very clear opinion: Why, if Saw Palmetto extract is vegan, should we present it in non-vegan softgels?
More than 80% of the companies on the market only use animal-derived softgels (gelatines) because they are cheaper, much easier to handle in manufacturing, and because they do not have a comprehensive policy on dietary suitability for vegans.
But at HSN we don't agree at all. As you can see, the vast majority of our catalogue is made up of vegan products and when this is not the case, it is usually because the raw material of origin, for example, milk protein, is not vegan, so we do not have the means to offer it.
That's why the softgels of this products are suitable for vegan diets, prepared with vegetable glazing agents and without carrageenan in their preparation so that everyone can enjoy its use.
Standardised to 85% fatty acids. High purity and validated content
According to scientific studies, the fatty acids naturally present in the Saw Palmetto berry are responsible for at least the majority of the plant's functional properties. Fatty acids are therefore the standardised compounds in Saw Palmetto Berry Extract by HSN.
Other functional compounds naturally present in the Saw Palmetto berry include phytosterols, flavonoids, and high molecular weight polysaccharides.
HSN Extract is standardised to 85% full-spectrum fatty acids, so in this product, you will find a high concentration of the two most relevant native fatty acids in the Saw Palmetto berry: Oleic acid and lauric acid. In addition, you will also find individual fatty acids naturally present in the lipid fraction of the berry: caprylic acid, capric acid, myristic acid, etc.
These fatty acids are mainly present in the form of triglycerides, which is the recommended presentation for better absorption and availability, as this is the esterification present in nature. Thanks to our non-aggressive treatment, we have been able to obtain a Saw Palmetto extract with a native composition of fatty acids, mostly unsaturated and with a low presence of free acids.
Saw Palmetto nutritional properties - A softgel full of benefits
Saw palmetto is a plant with many positive physiological properties, a considerable part of which is particularly focused on male health in adult men.
It helps maintain normal urinary function in men aged 45 years and older and supports peak urinary flow.
But it also has benefits for both women and men, including the following:
- It helps you maintain the health of your hair.
- It is recommended as a source of fatty acids to maintain reproductive function.
Q&A - HSN answers your questions:
Can Saw Palmetto be used by both men and women?
It is often questioned whether Saw Palmetto can be used by both men and women because it is a plant traditionally attributed to male use.
However, nothing could be further from the truth, as everyone can benefit from the use of Saw Palmetto extract, making it a plant suitable for use by both sexes.
What are the side effects of Saw Palmetto?
When used by healthy people and in accordance with the daily dose indicated on the labelling of our extract, Saw Palmetto has no associated adverse effects. It is completely safe for continued daily use and does not require breaks.
