I am taking 320 mg once a day and to my surprise it seams to have increased flow, for about a half a month now. I have not experienced any side effects. I don't think it has affected urgency. I still get up once at night like I was to go to the bathroom.

I tried it years ago, but didn't follow the manufacturer's recommended dose (3 capsules a day; 585mg per capsule). A few years later I started up again as my urine flow was deteriorating to the point I would have had to consider surgery or pharmaceuticals such as Flomax. Now I've been taking it at the recommended dose and have to say that it has improved my flow roughly 65% to 85%. I am satisfied with the results. It was getting embarrassing standing at public urinals for 6 minutes until I could fully erin my bladder. If I miss a dose or two, the problem reappears immediately. My suggestion is to take the recommended dosage at the recommended intervals before you make up your mind.

I have taken Saw Palmetto for about 30 years on and off, mostly on. I have a very large prostate according to a diagnosis and very early- in my thirties- on I was urinating a lot and feeling discomfort around urination. When I took saw palmetto that changed, when I didn't take it, the frequent urination and discomfort returned. I have found that good quality saw palmetto makes a big difference- Whole Foods verses Rite Aid for example. Also the dose. When I take it twice a day the difference is more noticeable. The saw palmetto also can impact sexual stamina and comfort comfort. Its not an actual aphrodisiac but it does seem to increase arousal and duration. It isn't viagra or anything but I do feel it makes a difference. I read other reviews that said it didn't work at all and that doctors agree. I honestly think it had to do with the quality of the product and the dose. When I run out and buy some at a drug store or grocery store vitamin section, it really is entirely different. I suggest buying a good quality organic product - The Whole Foods Brand works better than some of the more expensive products at whole foods. Then gradually increase the dose per day until you notice a difference in the number of times you have to pee in a day and if it is uncomfortable and if you have a healthy stream. Once you find that dose that works for you, then maintain that dose for some weeks. Then stop and see if you don't notice a drastic difference. This is one of the best things I've done for my health in my life.
