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."

My hair started falling out at age 28 and I started taking saw palmetto shortly after that. My hair stopped falling out shortly after that. When I stopped treatment my hair started falling out again. I restarted treatment and my hair stopped falling out again. I'm now 52 and I have some evidence of hair loss. I suspect I would be totally bald had I not used saw palmetto.

As I get closer to 50, I've started going to the restroom more at night. It wakes me up from a good sleep at least 2-3 times nightly. Twice is enough for me to feel groggy in the morning. I started taking prostate health OTC pills and I have not been waking up 2-3 times to go to the bathroom. Also, I haven't changed my water drinking habits (gallon or more a day). It has helped me and it took about 3 weeks before I noticed any change. I now get a full nights rest without interruption. I use Prostate Maintain 600 Plus. Read More Read Less

I had symptoms of BPH twenty years ago. The discomfort from the pressure, and the urgency to urinate were terrible. Saw Palmetto gave me relief in about a week, and was adequate treatment for over twenty years. A year ago I needed further treatment so my doctor prescribed Finasteride, which I took for one year. I lived with the unpleasant side effects of the Finasteride for the year. At my last exam the doctor was satisfied with the reduced size of my prostate and I was able to go off the Finasteride. Now I take only the Saw Palmetto. It enabled me to go many years without the need for other intervention, and hopefully I will go many more years without the need for Finasteride again. However, I am thankful that the Finasteride was available when I needed it. I would certainly recommend Saw Palmetto for your symptoms, but make sure BPH is all you have before starting it.Read More Read Less

Symptoms became worse. Urination more difficult, getting up at night more frequent. And increased incidence of heart arrhythmia.

My PDI was over 3.5 before using Saw Palmetto. Now it is 0.07. I have talked to many friends with the same testimony.
