BioVivo Science, a supplier and manufacturer of premium, science-driven botanical solutions made in the USA, is launching its latest fully controlled, traceable-from-farm-to-extraction, and scientifically authenticated ingredient: saw palmetto branded as VeriPalmetto™.
Native to the southeastern United States, saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) is a well-established botanical that has been extensively studied for its role in supporting prostate and urinary function, testosterone, and hair health. Nearly 90% of the world’s saw palmetto berries are harvested in Florida during late summer and early fall, when they reach peak ripeness and contain optimal levels of the fatty acids and phytosterols responsible for their functional properties.
“Demand for saw palmetto continues to grow as consumers increasingly seek established botanical solutions for healthy aging and men’s wellness,” said James Roza, VP of Technical Services at BioVivo Science. “At the same time, brands are placing greater emphasis on ingredient authenticity, traceability, and US-sourced, US-made supply. Our VeriPalmetto™ saw palmetto line was developed to meet these priorities, offering scientifically authenticated ingredients with standardized fatty acid profiles and flexible formats for a range of nutraceutical applications.”
BioVivo Science sources fresh berries through an established network of experienced Florida harvesters rather than purchasing previously dried material. This approach provides greater oversight of berry maturity, drying conditions, raw-material integrity, inventory, and batch-to-batch consistency. The berries are then processed at BioVivo Science’s botanical extraction and manufacturing facility in Jeffersonville, Indiana.
When it comes to the authentication of the ingredient, a high total fatty acid percentage alone does not confirm its legitimacy. Lower-cost, animal-derived lipids and non-saw-palmetto fatty acids may be blended to mimic expected fatty acid levels, but these imitations lack the therapeutic profile of true Serenoa repens.
“The first line of defense to eliminate the ‘black box’ of adulteration is the control of the supply chain,” said Chris Smith, Director of Tolling & International Sales, at BioVivo Science. “Our established network of experienced Florida harvesters gives us direct control at the source, beginning with fresh, authentic Serenoa repens berries. From harvest and drying through extraction at our U.S. facility, every critical step is managed with greater transparency and oversight — giving customers a more traceable, consistent, and secure domestic supply.”
Every production batch of saw palmetto undergoes rigorous testing for botanical identity, fatty acid composition, residual solvents, and other quality specifications. BioVivo Science provides comprehensive documentation and certificates of analysis to support transparency and regulatory confidence throughout the supply chain.
Smith continued, “The 2026 harvest began in early August, and we are anticipating labor constraints that could impact berry availability this season. We encourage customers to connect with our supply chain team early to discuss anticipated demand and help secure supply.”
BioVivo Science’s saw palmetto ingredients are commercially available as liquid and fine-powder extracts to accommodate various delivery formats for the nutraceutical industry. BioVivo Science offers standardized fatty acid profiles of 95%, 85%, 45%, 25%, and 15%.
