How Many Mg of Saw Palmetto is Recommended for Prostate Health?
my husband had been taking 560 mg once a day, a pill from GNC. But recently I bought one from drug emporium that is 2 pills a day one a.m. and one p.m. each only 160 mg totaling 320 mg per day.
What is the mg amount you should take to receive the benefit?
Well, a study in 2006 showed that men with BPH were given 320mg of saw palmetto daily and showed no significant improvement on their health after a year of therapy. I think your husband should take higher doses to see real effects. Be aware though that saw palmetto has side effects like stomach ache and a decrease in sexual drive.
