Saw Palmetto Dosage (Cont.)

General Information on Dosing for Saw Palmetto

Considerations for people taking saw palmetto include the following:
 
  • Since the manufacturing of supplements (such as saw palmetto) is not closely regulated, it is important to choose a trustworthy manufacturer of saw palmetto supplements. It is a good idea to look for a standardized product, which means that it should have a specific and consistent amount of the active components of saw palmetto.
     
  • If you have any chronic health problems or take any prescription medications, you should check with your healthcare provider before taking saw palmetto.
     
  • Keep in mind that it may take a month or two to see any benefits of saw palmetto for an enlarged prostate.
     
  • If you are unsure about anything related to your saw palmetto dosage, please talk with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
