    Other meds were causing skin growths. I decided to try SP to escape that, and found it increased urine flow to acceptable level. I've been taking 1000mg for 3 years with no side effects or difficulty.

    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.

    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.
