Saw palmetto is a small hardy fan palm whose stem usually remains below ground or runs just along the surface.
The fruits are round, black when ripe, and about an inch in diameter. The saw palmetto extract fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. Fatty acids are important sources of fuel because, when metabolized, they yield large quantities of ATP. Many cell types can use either glucose or fatty acids for this purpose. In particular, the heart and skeletal muscle prefer fatty acids.
