I've been using Standardized Saw Palmetto from GNC for years. Just

checked the label and no such waarning.

When I started SP my Uro said to use a reliable brand like GNC for

quality assurance.

I have read tons of studies that Saw does nothing for prostate. It is hyped.

However, I do use it for DHT(should and does help with hair loss).

Thanks for checking that for me. Its damn odd. I've learned a few

things. The amount I was using is about 6 times what they say

provides benifits. Maybe I'll go to a different brand and worry about

it when I see my doctor next time.

Yeah, I believed in Saw also, and use it still in hopes that it will forestall

at least BPH.

But here is some interesting stuff I found, and I have more.

I think the label has it wrong. It ought to read: " Avoid this product

if you may be hypogonadal " . I took one capsule a day of a standardized

extract made by Gaia Herbs. Until the saw palmetto cleared my system,

I could not get it up at all and suffered even worse fatigue. You need

a certain amount of DHT or else you will be miserable.

Have no idea been on it for yrs. no problem if you do to much it can kill your

libido I do this but only take one pill a day. I read SP does not lower DHT in

the body only in the prostate.

Huh? I thought this was great stuff for men on HRT? I've sent a

message to the company (Sundown) but I wonder if other brands say this

and if anyone knows why?

Thanks!
