1. **Reduction in Excess Androgens**: Saw palmetto is thought to inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Lower levels of DHT may reduce symptoms related to excess androgen levels, such as hirsutism, which is common in women with PCOS.

2. **Alleviation of Hirsutism**: Due to its potential ability to lower DHT levels, saw palmetto might help in reducing the growth of unwanted facial and body hair, which can be a significant concern for women with hirsutism associated with PCOS.

3. **Potential Hormonal Balance**: By impacting androgen levels, saw palmetto may help contribute to a more balanced hormonal profile, which could be beneficial for managing PCOS symptoms.

4. **Anti-Inflammatory Properties**: Some studies suggest that saw palmetto may have anti-inflammatory effects, which could be beneficial for overall skin health and reducing acne or other skin issues often associated with PCOS.

5. **Support for Hair Health**: Saw palmetto helps with scalp hair health by potentially reducing hair thinning linked to higher DHT levels.
