Does saw palmetto really help shrink an enlarged prostate? ?

There are many claims and suggestions involving this herbal remedy, but it is just BS unless I can see a legitimate double blind clinical study. Furthermore, who can prove that the contents of any bottle of saw palmetto actually contain the ingredient in amounts claimed. It’s a scammer’s paradise out there with little oversight to substantiate claims.

Hairmax lasercomb and electrotrichogenesis?

I’m looking for ways of preventative hair loss. So far I’m taking herbs, like Beta sitosterol and Saw Palmetto. It has also been suggested that I take propecia. I’m just wondering if anyone out there can coroborate the effectiveness of the Hairmax comb which is supposed to stimulate hair follicles. Any help would be much appreciated.

Our family doctor told me I may have either BPH or Prostatitis. What kind of supplements and natural foods?

should I be taking now? I hear I should take Saw Palmetto (whatever that is) and Zinc. Are there any others?

What about tomatoes? I am finding contradicting info on this. Some say it’s good for the prostate, and others say it’s bad

how much saw palmetto is optimum to reduce dht to assist in the prevention of male pattern hairloss?

I’m currently taking Jamieson Prostease Saw Palmetto complex which says to take 1 capsule daily and has:

Saw Palmetto Berry……….200mg
(Serenoa repens 20 mg of 1:10 extract)

Pygeum bark ………….. 7500mg
(Pygeum africanum 37.5 mg of 1:200 standardized to 13% beta sitosterol)

So is this amount of Saw Palmetto effective – as I’ve read online in a few sites that anything less than 320mg is useless. But is this 320mg the berry part itself or talking about the 20mg of 1:10 extract. If it’s the latter would it mean I’d actually have to take 16 capsules daily to actually get this 320mg of the extract?

Any better solutions for reducing hairloss and encouraging regrowth?

Saw palmetto and birth control pills??

I take these herbal pills called "Ultimate Prostate Formula" because they have Saw Palmetto extract which helps clear skin. I have been on the birth control pill for almost two years, and was wondering if these pills or just Saw palmetto in general would interfere with my b.c. pills and make them not work right. Does anyone know if these pills will do anything to counteract the b.c., and what medicines DO mess with b.c. pills to make them not work?

What are some of the most potent Beta Sitosterol supplements on the market?

No they’re not steroids but sterols shown to inhibit 5 Alpha Reductase activity(the enzyme resposible for converting test to DHT).I’ve tried doing a search but nothing is showing potency.I know that Saw Palmetto is supposed to be a good source but even the sources I’ve found don’t seem to be standardized for Beta Sitosterol.Any links to real clinical proof would be appreciated as well.Price and manufacturer are helpful as well but I’m mostly concerned with potency.
