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...

I started taking Nutraharmony's Saw Palmetto mainly for its DHT-blocking benefits, and I’m happy with the results so far. My hair feels stronger, and I’ve noticed less shedding in the shower. The addition of nettle and pygeum really makes this stand out. It's nice to have a single supplement that addresses multiple concerns.

I used to feel the constant urge to urinate, but after trying Nutraharmony's Saw Palmetto, it feels like my bladder is more under control.

I tried flowmax and other similar medications that did not work for me but did ruin my sex drive and ejaculation. Saw Palmetto works for me, I am peeing again.

Complete and utter waste of money. Had to stop after 2 days of use as it gave me severe insomnia, and did zero for my bph. Spoke to my urologist about this stuff and he laughed and asked me how much I had spent. I told him just $20 and he said that's not bad, some of his patients spent hundreds on this garbage as well as all the other Super Beta prostate like phony pills. He said those were the worst as they always charge for like 3 months worth of pills at the beginning, the reason being is nobody... ever orders it again. He put me onto Tamsulosin and Finasteride and they worked a charm, still get up once maybe twice a night, not ideal, but better than the 5 or 6 times a night I was! Read More Read Less

I take Saw Palmetto daily for probably 8 years now. My daily dose was 320 mg and since the beginning of this year I increased it to 650 mg. It works absolutely fine for me. My PSA level is low and I don't get up 3-4 times at night to urinate as I used to do. Now I probably do it once but it always depends on the amount of water/tea I drank before going to bed. I haven't experienced any side effect i.e. no dizziness, nausea, or diarrheas. Personally I am absolutely totally satisfied.

When you take at a higher dosage it’s great.Better than Finasteride (MD recommended) that makes you wimpy, and grow breasts.

I had a PSA of 12-14 and was getting up 6-8X nightly to urinate, so I took 1000mg Saw Palmetto for my BPH for about 10 years & no more getting up at night. Then the doctor began prescribing Silodosin for it, which caused terrible dizziness for about 8 months, even fainting due to low BP, so then he prescribed Midodrine to offset that to fix my dizziness & BP. Finally, I just stopped those both and went back to Saw Palmetto on my own and within 2 days, no more dizziness or other side effects, and... my urination remained good. As an accountant who tracks things, don't tell me Saw Palmetto doesn't work. Been relying on it for too long. As soon as I'm off it, the urination problems return. Read More Read Less

I started talking 3 pills 450mg daily about 6-7 months ago. I have having all kinds of prostate issues mostly enlarged. My PSA level is down and a recent MRI on the prostate shows its pretty normal. I don't like taking prescription pills and wanted something natural. Did this work? Well everything seems to be back to normal. The only thing I took was Saw Palmetto and continue to take it daily 1350 MG

I have had BPH for 10 + years. The past couple of years the need to urinate at night has increased. Routine visit to the doctor in October, the doc suggested I try saw palmetto. He's had a number of patients that it works for, equal number that it didn't.I take one capsule 3x a day. After a week I had a dramatic increase in stream and up at night once instead of 3x. I've been taking it for about 3 months now. I did have some increase with diaherra, but went away pretty quick.like my doc said, works... for some, not so much for others. Read More Read Less

Bought small quantity to test for side-effects. I noticed mild drowsiness; listlessness and a feeling of apathy after just several days. Bought the supplement at a 50% discount price which suggests to me the seller is anxious to get rid of this line.I don't recommend this product as it could be potentially dangerous if taken for long periods. People such as myself should consult with their G.P. regarding suspected Prostate enlargement as it could be Cancer and not benign.

Although it has limited effect on frequent nocturnal urination it did eliminate painful urination and that is a win as far as I am concerned. Side note: Using my CPAP markedly reduces my nighttime trips to the bathroom.

While Web MD says Saw Palmetto doesn’t work for BPH, somehow it greatly reduced my need to get up to urinate at night, from every hour to two hours to twice a night. They say to only use it for three years but don’t say why.

I have done my own research on this for 10 years, I take any of several multi-supplement prostate pills of various brands along with Saw Palmetto, then every six months I go off of the Saw Palmetto and just take the regular pills (which may or may not contain a tiny bit of Saw Palmetto.) After one month of going off the Saw Palmetto, my BPH symptoms always noticeably worsen. The number trips to the bathroom generally does not change but the ease of relieving myself changes, it starts to be harder... to urinate and the "stops and starts" increase. Also I will think I'm done but many times it's back for a little more "draining" afterwards. And the dribbling is worse. Trust me, Saw Palmetto works, at least for me. Others might not benefit as much due to differences in physiology of different folks. But my evaluation has been pretty darn scientific. Read More Read Less
