The complex utilizes an extract from the red saw palmetto berries of a
small plant called Serenoa repens. Serenoa repens has been shown to
block 5-alpha reductase and the binding of DHT to androgen receptors. In
Europe this extract is referred to in medical literature as the drug
"Permixon." It is used extensively to treat benign prostatic
hypertrophy. Numerous European studies have demonstrated its efficacy in
reducing prostate hyperplasia in a manner similar to Finasteride. It is
both a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor blocks a large percentage of the
uptake of DHT at its target tissue receptor sites.
Serenoa repens is very safe, being long used by Native Americans as a
food and as an herbal treatment for enuresis, nocturia, atrophy of the
testes, impotence, inflammation of the prostate and low libido in men.
Herbalists consider this form of saw palmetto a mild aphrodisiac for
men. Women used the berries to treat infertility, painful periods and
problems with lactation.
The berries contain an oil with several fatty acids, including capric,
caprylic, caproic, lauric, oleic and palmitic and acid, and their
ethylesters plus high amounts of phytosterols (beta- sito sterol,
cycloartenol, stigmasterol, lupeol, lupenone and 24-methylcycloartenol),
as well as other oils, resins, and tannins.
Serenoa repens Saw palmetto is a "multi?site" inhibitor of the formation
and actions of DHT It inhibits most of the binding of DHT to receptor
sites in the prostate, blocks the uptake of DHT into thenucleus of
prostate cells, and inhibits the action of 5- alpha-reductase, which
converts testosterone to DHT.
The authoritative book "Green Pharmacy" by James A. Duke, Ph.D. lists
Serenoa Repens as its first choice for hair loss treatment. They write
that the biochemistry certainly supports the use of repens. The herb
blocks the formation of DHT much like Propecia. Serenoa repens has also
been shown to reduce inflammation, a common factor seen in tissues
involved in Androgenic Alopecia.
Recent research has shown that hair loss is
caused by DHT, an undesirable derivative of the hormone testosterone.
DHT floods, and eventually strangles the hair follicles of genetically
predisposed individuals. The key to the anti-androgenic complex lies in
eliminating the root cause of hair loss by blocking DHT at the follicle
receptor site.
Dr. Williams formulated this proprietary complex based on extensive
clinical studies, which show that certain herbal agents have potent
anti-DHT properties. Dr. Williams' complex selectively blocks the
specific enzyme, called 5-alpha reductase that converts normal
Testosterone into unwanted DHT
Since the complex consists of only approved herbal elements, there is no
need for direct medical consultation or prescription.
