How is USPlus® Saw Palmetto Extract different from other extracts of the same name?
Due to the popularity of saw palmetto, a disturbing new trend of adulteration has led to some issues in supply. One of these has been the presence in the market of powder saw palmetto made from ground, unripe berries, which lack most of the important bioactives associated with the botanical’s prostate health effects.* In addition to the use of unripe berries to make extracts with low bioactives, numerous commercial suppliers were also found to contain large amounts of substitute materials, including extracts from different berries closely related to the palm species and some even went as far as to substitute with low-cost vegetable oil.
Valensa’s USPlus® is the only saw palmetto extract in the United States to receive verified certification from US Pharmacopeia (USP) and Consumer Labs. USPlus® saw palmetto berries are grown and hand-picked in Florida, then dried to create saw palmetto oil by using a trademarked Deep Extract™ supercritical CO₂ technology process to extract the bioactive lipids from the saw palmetto fruit, without the use of strong solvents. This extraction process produces the highest quality saw palmetto oil in the world, consistently achieving 85 – 95% total fatty acids, found in studies to have superior bioactivity compared to many other phytotherapeutic extracts.*
