Saw Palmetto Extract with Pumpkin Seed Oil from NOW Foods
One softgel per day, containing two plant oils traditionally associated with men. These softgels from NOW Foods contain 320mg of saw palmetto extract, standardized to 85 to 95 percent fatty acids. This is combined with 80mg of cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil. The result is a concentrated, oily filling in a vegetarian softgel. Convenient if you prefer swallowing one capsule instead of a handful.
What is in saw palmetto extract
Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) is a low-growing palm from Florida and Georgia, with dark purple berries as large as an olive. These berries contain many fatty acids, such as lauric acid, myristic acid, and oleic acid, and plant sterols such as beta-sitosterol. When making an extract, the manufacturer extracts this fatty fraction from the berry using supercritical carbon dioxide (carbon dioxide gas under such high pressure that it behaves like a liquid) or a solvent. Afterwards, the carbon dioxide simply evaporates again, leaving no residue. What remains is an oil containing 85 to 95 percent fatty acids. Saw palmetto is a source of fatty acids for the maintenance of reproductive function.* A regular ground berry contains only a fraction of those fatty acids, meaning you need much more of it.
Saw palmetto and men's health
Saw palmetto may contribute to men's health.* Saw palmetto may contribute to the maintenance of normal urinary function in men from age 45.* Saw palmetto supports normal peak urine flow.*
Why pumpkin seed oil is included
Pumpkin seed oil comes from the seeds of the pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo) and is cold-pressed, meaning no heat is used. This keeps the natural substances in the oil intact. The oil is rich in linoleic acid and oleic acid, and like saw palmetto, contains plant sterols, including delta-7 sterols. In Austria and Styria, pumpkin seed oil is a traditional ingredient in the kitchen. The difference is that pumpkin seed oil and saw palmetto extract are both oily and therefore fit well together in one softgel. In short: two plant oils with a similar profile, together in one capsule. The softgel itself is made from modified corn starch and carrageenan (a gelling agent from seaweed), so it contains no gelatin.
If you are looking for a concentrated form of saw palmetto, this extract is a good choice. One softgel provides 320mg of extract, supplemented with 80mg of pumpkin seed oil. With 90 softgels, you have a three-month supply.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to take Saw Palmetto?
With a meal, one softgel per day. Because the extract is an oil, it pairs well with food that contains some fat. The time of day does not matter.
How much saw palmetto extract is in one softgel?
One softgel contains 320mg saw palmetto extract, standardized to 85 to 95 percent fatty acids, and 80mg cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil.
Is this product suitable for vegetarians?
Yes. The softgel is made from modified corn starch, glycerol and carrageenan, without gelatin. Saw palmetto extract and pumpkin seed oil are both plant-based.
What does pumpkin seed oil do in this formula?
Pumpkin seed oil is a cold-pressed oil from pumpkin seeds, rich in linoleic acid, oleic acid, and plant sterols. It is a traditional ingredient in Central Europe, often combined with saw palmetto. There are no approved claims for the combination itself in the EU claims database, so we say nothing further about that.
What is the difference between saw palmetto extract and ground saw palmetto berries?
An extract is concentrated to 85 to 95 percent fatty acids, so 320 mg per day is enough. Ground berries contain the whole fruit, but fewer fatty acids per gram, meaning you take several grams per day. If you are looking for the whole berry, NOW Foods also offers Saw Palmetto 550 mg capsules.
