Is it possible to take nettle root int he place of saw palmetto, with the nettle root carry out the same functions and have the same effect? Because im sure im putting on weight with the saw palmetto and I've read a number of articles where they state saw palmetto promoted weight gain:
"Native Americans ate the berries of the saw palmetto believing they served as a tonic that nourished the body, stimulated appetite, and promoted weight gain." - http://www.cancer.org/docroot/ETO/content/ETO_5_3X_Saw_Palmetto.asp?sitearea=ETO

Yes, you can take the Nettle root in place of the SP, I have done so, and successfully, since last June. I have not gained any weight on the Nettle root and I did on the SP like you too.
You only need to take between 500 mg - 1000 mg of Nettle root to have the same effect as the SP, if your androgen levels are normal 500 mg a day should be enough.
You can buy Nettle root at Vortexhealth.net, that is where I usually get mine from, most other stores just sell the leafs.
Ultimately you will have to try for your self, everyone is different but with me the Nettle root has been way more effective than the SP was in controlling my elevated androgen levels.

It's an anti-androgen. You can also use spearmint I believe and licorice,
pumpkin seed, pygeum as well.
