January 2026 in “Food and Nutrition Sciences” This randomized, placebo-controlled trial reported that USPlus PRO saw palmetto extract significantly improved lower urinary tract symptoms, including voiding, incomplete emptying, and weak stream, as well as sexual function in males over 12 weeks, while maintaining a favorable safety profile.
November 2025 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study found that a proprietary saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) extract significantly increased hair growth and reduced hair shedding in men and women with self-perceived thinning hair over a 90-day period, compared to placebo, without reported adverse events.
May 2025 in “The Journal of Rheumatology” This study reports that even minimal improvements in SLE-related fatigue and skin symptoms are meaningful to patients, supporting the content validity of the FACIT-Fatigue scale for measuring these effects.
November 2024 in “Applied Sciences” This study suggests that a supercritical CO2 extract from wild-strawberry-processing waste may be an innovative and sustainable ingredient for cosmetic applications, particularly in treating androgenic-related skin conditions.
