Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / April 2005Saw Palmetto
I wanted to share my experience with this supplement. Any saw plametto taken should be 160mg twice a day. It should have 85-95% fatty acids. The reason is that this formula was demonstrated to be effective. Other formulas may be effective, but this is what was used in studies. There's lots of saw palmetto out there, in varying strengths and composition. That being said, for me, saw palmetto alone has not been that effective. What has worked is saw plametto in combination with other ingredients. I take a product called "Prosta Metto". It is sold my "The Vitamin Shoppe". In addition to saw palmetto, it contains, pygeum, pumpkin seed oil, B-6, and uva ursi. They also make a similar product with lycopene. I notice a better flow when I take the Prosta Metto rather than just saw palmetto. I'm also on Avodart, so I take both products. It seems to be working for me. Before taking any supplement, please be sure to check with your doctor. >I wanted to share my experience with this supplement. > Any saw plametto taken should be 160mg twice a day.

Your dose you mentioned was nowhere near enough so far as I am concerned - which isn't a medical opinion, just what I do. How much do you take? > How much do you take? You didn't quote who you were asking that of but if you mean me, I take 2 x Nutralife capsules a day. The break-up is: SP - 3grams (3000Mg) Fatty Acids - 270mg ....oh and a heck of a lot more that I couldn't be bothered typing.... :) Two of those a day is 6000Mg a day. Any less than that and I am in constant pain and even taking that I am not entirely pain free. It DOES come back from time to time and requires pain killers but that doesn't happen a real lot. Before taking them, I took painkillers every day, many times a day. >> How much do you take? > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >from time to time and requires pain killers but that doesn't happen a real >lot. Before taking them, I took painkillers every day, many times a day. You take saw palmetto for pain? And you find that it has that quick a response? I take saw palmetto but not sure it is doing anything... in other words, taking it on faith that maybe it is helping. BTW, mg means milligrams, Mg means megagrams (same as metric tons), and I would say 6000 tons per day of SP is overdoing it.

I dont mean that it reacts as quickly as pain killers. I am saying that within a short space of time it reduced the pain from sitting on the right side of my arse only to normal. Pain is manageable when there but often not there at all. Always comes back after a time, though. > I take saw palmetto but not sure it is doing anything... in other > words, taking it on faith that maybe it is helping. Well, faith is all well and good but if you dont take the right amount for YOU, it is cheaper to go burn dollar notes in the yard than drive to the store to buy the SP. > BTW, mg means milligrams, Mg means megagrams (same as metric tons), > and I would say 6000 tons per day of SP is overdoing it. > > Ed Nope, the packet says 6 grams then has (or 6000mg). So far as I am concerned, 6000mg is 6 grams. BTW, it would be metric tonnes which are different to tons. :) 6000 tons per day of saw palmetto would make you unconscious & therefore free of pain. Makes sense to me :) Ron > From: Ed <Ed@Hatespam.com> > Organization: Shaw Residential Internet [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > Ed Yikes!? Interesting. I'm just curious...did your blood work show that your DHT was in the 3000 range for you to be taking such large amounts of DHT inhibitors? [I'm just guessing that you already know that Saw Palmetto, Pygeum, the sterols in pumpkin seeds, and Avodart are DHT inhibitors.] Regardless, only best wishes to you. Here's wishing you the very best on your personal regimen. <brsher@charter.net> wrote in[SNIP] ...I take the ProstaMetto rather than just saw palmetto. I'm also on Avodart, so I take both products.
