"A note about Saw Palmetto: Conspicuously absent from the above list is Saw Palmetto - the most popular herb used for prostate support by far. The reason is that some fairly recent studies* have indicated that Saw Palmetto works much like chemo and destroys good prostate cells along with bad ones. For this reason, Saw Palmetto might be a good consideration as part of a natural regimen against prostate cancer, but would NOT be a good choice for non-cancerous BPH (enlarged prostate)."

Saw palmetto has been shown to significantly help enlarged prostates, prostatitis and the general health of the male urinary and reproductive systems.

50% of Europes physicans prefer the use of herb-based remedies for prostate problems over man-made drugs as the side effects of the drugs are significant and in some cases permanent.

However there IS a danger of saw palmetto masking the presence of prostate cancer by lowering PSA levels. They use PSA levels to test for prostate cancer so it would be advisable to have a digital examination and a baseline PSA reading taken before commencing on it.

You can find studies that show saw palmetto does nothing or that saw palmetto is amazing. At the end of the day, it helps many many men get their life back without the devastating side effects that the drugs bring.
