The
market is full of saw palmetto products so how can anybody know
the good stuff from the bad stuff
Good point, you don't. There is no standard testing procedure to
define the quality or activity of herbal extracts. The potency of
one brand of saw palmetto may not the equal to another brand. The
best option is to find a trusted source of herbal products. A supplier
who has been in existence for several years and with many customers.
Typically, most people take 160mg of Saw Palmetto extract twice
each day for their pattern baldness. 320mg a day is also the typical
dose used in published clinical treatment trials for benign prostate
hyperplasia. Capsules containing up to 500mg of Saw Palmetto berry
extract are available and a few people take as much as 2000mg a
day. However, there is no evidence that high intake is any more
effective than the typical dose.
