There have been many discussions about SP. You might search for them.
320 MG a day is the recommended amount but there is no set level.

Lots of information out there that it is of no use at all. It didn't do
a thing for me. The side effects from Flomax turned me off on it. A
friend swears by SP.

I have had good results taking GNC saw palmetto formula. It has a lot of
stuff in it, The instructions say 500mg per day, but I take it twice a day.
I also take QBC Plex by solaray. It is Qercetin, bromelain, and vitamin C
complex. I take it once a day, but started out taking it twice a day.
There has been some studies that suggest quercetin helps, and it sure did
help me. I also drink a lot more water and avoid the caffeine and other bad
foods. I only get up once in the night now and my last checkup showed close
to normal size again. I think I had prostatitis, but the uro wasn't very
specific or helpful for me.

GNC sells two different versions of SP. One is a standardized version
(concentrated and guaranteed amount), and another which is less concentrated
(and supposedly contains ground plant stems and other inactive ingredients).

Which one did you use?

The one I take has zinc, pumpkin seed meal power, Pygeum Bark Powder, and
Lycompene. It uses the Saw Palmetto Berry Powder. Under other ingredients
it says Cellulose, Dicalcium Phosphate, Povidone.
