Hello, I am very new to the world of nbe! I just purchased Pueraria mirifica from barlowes. I read conflicting info on saw palmeto, which I have. Some say it's good to take with pm and others say its not. What can I combine with pm (verbally) for good results ?
I am 22 female and have excess androgens

I too use Pueraria mirifica and have been using it for two years. First of all ensure that your product is from Thailand and grown naturally. I buy my product from Ainterol, who guarantee the highest naturally grown grade of Pueraria mirifica. I make my own capsules and tincture with he powdered Pueraria mirifica . I have also used this tincture as an additive to my favorite moisturizer cream. The liver will filter out about 40% of the active components of Pueraria mirifica; this being said absorption through the skin right into the blood stream is far more effective.
As a female you should not take saw palmetto. Saw palmetto is an effective antigen used by men with BPH. this antigen also servers to reduce the amount of testosterone.
Hope this helps

Because your sex is not identified I will answer your question in a generic way. Both male and females produce estrogen and testosterone. The males produce more testosterone than females and the females produce more estrogen than males. Saw Palmetto is reported as an excellent over the counter supplement for BPH. Saw palmetto accomplishes this by lowering testosterone in the body which in turn reduces DHT. If you are sure your androgens are high and if you are a male you might consider taking saw palmetto to lower your testosterone levels. The Prescription drug Finasteride is prescribed for males to reduce prostrate swelling by lowering drastically testosterone levels.

I specified I was a female so I am still unsure whether or not to take this or perhaps take fenugreek with PM. I've been taking PM for 2 weeks and have seen no results.

Glad to meet you tonixo: Have you had blood test verifying an imbalance in your testosterone levels? Primarily Saw Palmetto is used to shrink the prostrate in men who have BPH. Evidence suggests this herb accomplishes this task by reducing testosterone levels. It also lowers the level of DHT in the body (chemicals which kill hair follicles). If you have not been tested by a doctor I would recommend you do so. Saw Palmetto should help bring down testosterone levels in your body.

If you have excess androgens look into natural ways to lower them
! 4 cups of Spearmint tea and/or green tea works lovely.

I was going to do the spearmint tea, but I was having trouble finding only spearmint in the tea. Could capsules of spearmint work as well?

Hi. You might try looking in your local herb and or health food store. Both times that I have gotten just spearmint, it was from the bulk aisle/section at health/herb stores and it is very affordable. I filled a whole sandwich baggie size for a couple of dollars, maybe.
