Saw Palmetto + Stinging Nettle Complex - 60 Capsules | Metagenics
Metagenics Saw Palmetto + Stinging Nettle Complex is a food supplement formulated with a blend of botanical extracts, antioxidants, and minerals designed to support prostate health, urinary function, and hormonal balance. The formula combines saw palmetto berry extract and stinging nettle root extract with plant antioxidants and trace minerals to provide comprehensive nutritional support for male reproductive and urinary health, while also being used in certain formulations to support hormonal balance in women.
Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) is a botanical traditionally used to support male health, particularly prostate and urinary tract function. It is commonly included in nutritional supplements aimed at supporting normal urinary flow and prostate health. Saw palmetto extracts are standardised to fatty acids and have been studied for their interaction with the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone associated with prostate enlargement and certain hormonal imbalances.
Stinging nettle root (Urtica dioica) has a long history of traditional use in herbal medicine for supporting prostate and urinary health. It is often combined with saw palmetto in formulations designed to support the prostate gland and maintain healthy urinary function.
The formulation also includes a range of nutrients and botanical extracts that provide antioxidant support and contribute to hormonal and cellular health. Zinc contributes to normal testosterone levels in the blood, while selenium and vitamin E contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Additional plant extracts such as pomegranate, pumpkin seed, flaxseed, maritime pine bark extract, and trans-resveratrol provide polyphenols and antioxidant compounds that help protect cell membranes and fatty acids from oxidative damage.
Lycopene, a carotenoid naturally found in tomatoes, is included as an antioxidant compound commonly studied for its role in supporting prostate health and protecting cells from oxidative stress.
The supplement is supplied in capsule form for convenient daily supplementation and controlled dosing. The botanical extracts are standardised to provide consistent levels of active compounds, helping ensure consistent potency between batches.
