Country Life Saw Palmetto & Pygeum (90 caps) within category: Saw Palmetto
Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) is one of the best-researched herbs out there. In fact, saw palmetto has been the subject of nearly two dozen controlled clinical trials in humans, not only comparing the herb to placebo, but to a standard dose of the two best-selling BPH drugs on the market. In both cases, the herb was as effective as the pharmaceutical drug, with a lower incidence of side effects.
Almost all of the research on saw palmetto has been conducted on an extract standardized to 85-95% fatty acids and sterols, and has used 320 mg a day. You could use a weaker extract, but you'd probably need to take more. Saw palmetto does not work especially quickly. Most people will notice benefits within three months; some may need twice that long.
