Saw Palmetto Economic Importance.:

S. repens has previously been used to produce pulp for paper products, but it is considered to be of poorer quality compared with other tropical species (Olson and Barnes 1974).

 Of significant importance is a drug called Serenoa, marketed as Permixon, which is extracted from partially ripened, dried fruits of saw palmetto. This drug has been successfully used to treat, prostrate swelling, bladder infections and urinary tract infections. In prostate disorders, extracted Serenoa repens compounds inhibit the enzymes responsible for conversion of the male hormone testosterone to DHT, dihydrotestosterone, a hormone that binds to receptor sites on prostate cells, and adversely affects gene transcription and the regulation of biological responses in these cells (Plosker and Brogden 1996). In urinary tract disorders, treatment of men with S. repens compounds helped reduce urinary frequency, increase urinary flow, and improve symptoms of dysuria (painful urination).

 Commercial Growers:Saw Palmetto has been grown commercially in the US for decades and currently about 175,000 acres of the plant are under cultivation there. Initially, most of the crop supplied the European herbal market. Now, interest in the US has meant increased demand for this herb and therefore, a need for additional cultivation. Foreign investors have purchased farms in the South specifically to grow the plant and some ranchers are finding that it produces more profit than raising cattle. As a result, a growers' co-operative has also developed in the region.
