While Web MD says Saw Palmetto doesn’t work for BPH, somehow it greatly reduced my need to get up to urinate at night, from every hour to two hours to twice a night. They say to only use it for three years but don’t say why.

Noticed improvement after only a couple of days. 900mg in the morning and 900mg in the evening. I used to get up at night to urinate about 3 times, usually before I fell asleep, now once or not at all. Stream is better as well. I use the Spring Valley brand capsule at Walmart.

Comment:
I have taken saw palmetto extract for years. I rarely get up to urinate at night and I empty my bladder easier while taking this. Without it, I have problems again within a few days. I take two Costco (TruNature) Prostate capsules in the morning and three Vitamin Shoppe soft gels (320 mg) at night. My PSA is holding steady at 0.6. I am 65.
