Some scientific studies have shown that standardized saw palmetto extract in this dosage (320 mg daily of standardized extract) is effective in decreasing the symptoms of benign prostate hypertrophy(BPH). Other studies have shown that it is no more effective than a sugar pill. Overall, saw palmetto is thought to be safe and may be of some help for BPH. In simple terms BPH means that the prostate is enlarged and slowing down the male urinary stream. The downside of taking saw palmetto is that it should not be an excuse for avoiding an exam and discussion with your doctor. For example an exam and blood test may be needed to rule out prostate cancer. So man up and see your doctor if you have urinary symptoms that might be BPH or might be cancer. That done you can consider whether to take saw palmetto. Swanson saw palmetto (standardized extract) is an identical product but at a better price per dose even with shipping.
