Many men wonder if saw palmetto and prostate cancer prevention go hand in hand, or if it's all just a bunch of hype created by smart marketing people designed to sell the modern day version of snake oil.
Does saw palmetto work?
And can it really prevent prostate cancer?
The answer is nobody really knows.
The saw palmetto and prostate cancer prevention is actually relatively new because the cancer itself is not really all that old. It's been around, but nowhere near the levels it's at today.
What we do know is saw palmetto has been used for a long time by various peoples for urinary and prostate issues.
But few clinical studies have been done to prove anything either way.
That doesn't mean it does not work, by the way.
Just that nobody can give you a definite answer on the matter.
This is why I am a big fan of making lifestyle and dietary changes in addition to supplementing with saw palmetto (or any other supplement). Things like deep breathing (which activates your immune system), getting adequate amounts of sunshine regularly, eating foods loaded with zinc (or taking zinc pills), and cutting back on sugar alone can probably do more for your prostate than any one herb.
Maybe that's not the "sexiest" advice on the subject.
But it's true nonetheless.
So as for if saw palmetto and prostate cancer prevention are related, I don't know. But eating right and making the right lifestyle choices can go a long way towards protecting you from the disease.
