Introduction

Saw palmetto oil has a unique anti-prostatic hypertrophy effect, but its origin has been
questioned repeatedly. Based on USP, EP, and other authoritative data, we have tested
the products from the main markets to analyze various parameters and try to make the
report to be objective. All these data reflect the differences of oil and we will try to
find a simple and reliable way to identify authenticity of saw palmetto oil.
