Community experiences
Selected positive personal experiences from external communities, edited and summarized. These accounts do not establish effectiveness.
A contributor who reported using saw palmetto for about 16 years wrote that their urine flow improved and the frequent urge to urinate decreased. They still felt it helped after switching from their original product to a cheaper one. They did not provide the extract content of either product or urinary test results, so the account does not show that all products with the same ingredient name are equivalent or that they treat prostate disease.
