had used flomax and then finesteride for prostate issue, side effects were killing my intimacy with wife. Now take 320mg of saw twice a day. No more weak stream nor false urges. Off the prescription too.

Based on the NCCIH: "High-quality scientific studies have shown that saw palmetto is no more effective than a placebo (an inactive substance) in relieving urinary tract symptoms caused by prostate enlargement. These studies include a 2011 NIH-funded study that tested saw palmetto in amounts up to three times the usual dose."

Since taking Saw Palmetto Tablets 250mg every morning, over the last year, 2011. I have no problem urinating at night anymore. The flow is slow but i can empty my bladder.The more liquid I drink before I go to sleep at night the more often I have to go to the toilet to pee.If i stop drinking around 5pm then pee only maybe two times per nite.I also take Xatral Tabs at nite 5mg.but beforeI started taking Saw palmetto I had trouble peeing at nite together they seem to work as no problem as yet.

I've been taking 300mg daily for more than 6 mo now. Used to wake up once every night to pee and after around one month no more waking up during the night! Some stomach upset if taken empty. No problem with meals.

I noticed an increase in urine quantity and flow after about 6 weeks. I took one capsule a day as recommended. After several months of relatively good results, I noticed blood and a few clots in the urine. This was one time, I believe, but I stopped taking the caps until I see my Urologist in a few days. More later.

Took 1 cap/day for 36 days. On 34th day headaches started, felt slightly nauseated, weak, and just didn't feel well. During entire 36 days, no decrease in frequency of urination, day or night, no increase in the amount of urine per bathroom trip, and possibly a slight increase in the intensity of the urge to urinate. But to be fair, I am not sure that my symptoms on days 34 to 36 were caused by the Saw Palmetto and not by some other cause. After I recover, I am considering trying another brand of Saw Palmetto like the online product that Wil174 found to be very effective.Read More Read Less

This with nettle root eliminated the burning symptoms and related due to benign prostate enlargement within 2 days taken 2x a day and tapered to once a day. Urine tests and culture found no infections to explain the penile tip burning, slow stream and other symptoms that appeared to be a UTI or prostate infection. I used Swanson nettle root and Schiff for the saw palmetto. Together they worked best
