It's good in bph taking from last one year

I started taking it about a week and a half ago. Had severe headaches and dizziness. I will stop for a while and make sure if it was the cause of my dizziness.

I have been using Blackmores proseren for about two months, the results have been spectacular, no more night trips to the bathroom and only about three times during the day. Before I started taking Proseren I was in unrelenting discomfort, about 8 bathroom trips every night and very little sleep, constantly feeling I had a full bladder, I am now feeling normal. I am so relieved I discovered Proseren, it has changed my life.

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.

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.

my dr. told me that I could have some internal bleeding, but haven't experienced that yet.

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.Read More Read Less

For me, effectiveness of saw palmetto for BPH depends greatly on the brand I use. Having tried several, only two have actually worked and worked well. The first is FoodScience of Vermont Saw palmetto and has consistently worked very well, reducing my trips to the BR from 3-4 times a night to none. The other was a Walgreens product that is no longer available. It was a small, round maroon liquid gel pill that worked just as well. Among the ones that have had no effect are Nature's Way extract, Nature's Bounty Saw Palmetto Complex, Now Foods saw Palmetto and some others I don't recall. I suspect though, that different brands work well for different people since I've seen postitive reviews of each of those that didn't work for me.Read More Read Less

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. Read More Read Less

I started to take this for hair loss. After taking it, 90 to 95% of the hair loss stopped. But I have to take this pill very frequently to prevent hair loss from coming back. When I miss a dose, I will notice an increase of hair loss the following day. Wish there was another solution, will keep looking.

Over an extended period of time this medication as shrunk my prostate and relieved hemmorroids.

160 MG OF EXTRACT IMPROVED FLOW AND DECREASED NIGHTTIME BATHROOM TRIPS FROM 3 TO 1

Took Flomax and it clogged my sinus real bad after a year. Quit that and started Sawpalmetto and have had good results getting up only once during the night. After 1 year I am noticing being dizzy and foggy and it seemed to go away when I quit taking for a few days. Need to stop for a week or so and determine if it is true again.

Easy to take!

I am a female in 20s with mild hair loss. It has worked great to help restore growth and actually grow faster.
