Saw Palmetto Extract is a botanical ingredient obtained from the ripe fruits of Serenoa repens, a small palm native to the southeastern United States. The fruit contains a naturally occurring mixture of fatty acids, phytosterols and other lipophilic constituents. Saw Palmetto extracts are widely used as botanical raw materials in nutraceutical and dietary-supplement formulations, particularly products designed for men's wellness. USP defines Saw Palmetto as the ripe fruit of Serenoa repens and recognizes characteristic fatty-acid-based quality parameters.
MEDIOCON INC supplies Saw Palmetto Extract as a botanical nutraceutical raw material for manufacturers of dietary supplements, capsules, tablets and other functional formulations. Commercial powdered extracts are available in different standardization levels, including products standardized to 45% fatty acids, while higher-strength lipophilic extracts may be standardized to 80–95% fatty acids. Therefore, the fatty-acid assay should always be specified according to the actual grade being supplied.
The principal lipid components of Saw Palmetto Extract include lauric acid, oleic acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, linoleic acid and other fatty acids, together with phytosterols such as beta-sitosterol. The exact profile depends on the fruit source, extraction process and standardization. NIST has developed a certified reference material for Serenoa repens extract specifically characterized for fatty acids and phytosterols, demonstrating the importance of these components in Saw Palmetto quality control.
Saw Palmetto Extract is available in both powder and lipophilic/oil-compatible forms. A documented 45% fatty-acid powder grade is designed for incorporation into capsules, tablets and dry nutraceutical blends, whereas higher-fatty-acid extracts can be supplied as oil-like materials for softgel and lipid-based formulations. The extraction ratio, fatty-acid content, sterol content, moisture, ash and contaminant limits should be controlled according to the specific commercial specification.
MEDIOCON INC can supply Saw Palmetto Extract according to customer requirements for botanical identity, fatty-acid standardization, physical form, packaging and documentation. Customers can request the applicable Certificate of Analysis (COA), Specification Sheet, Technical Data Sheet (TDS), SDS and other available quality documents. Final assay and quality limits should be confirmed against the actual MEDIOCON batch specification.
The 45% grade values above correspond to the Saw Palmetto Extract specification currently listed on MEDIOCON's own product page, while USP provides separate standards for the higher-strength official extract.
For a high-quality lipophilic Saw Palmetto Extract, the characteristic fatty-acid profile can include:
| Fatty Acid | Reference Range |
|---|---|
| Caprylic Acid | 1.0–3.0% |
| Capric Acid | 1.0–3.0% |
| Lauric Acid | 25.0–32.0% |
| Myristic Acid | 10.0–15.0% |
| Palmitic Acid | 7.0–11.0% |
| Stearic Acid | 1.0–2.0% |
| Oleic Acid | 26.0–35.0% |
| cis-Linoleic Acid | 3.0–5.0% |
| Linolenic Acid | 0.5–1.5% |
| Total Fatty Acids | >85–95% |
These values represent a documented lipophilic Saw Palmetto specification and should be treated as a reference profile, not automatically as MEDIOCON's batch specification.
