Ok I am going to start taking Saw Palmetto with my WU and was wondering if anyone can tell me about how much I should take?? I was thinking the berries was what was suppose to be used but I think I got the wrong one now and should have gotten the extract. I did a search on it and someone said the ratio of the berries to extract is 10:1? How many of these do I need to take? They are the whole berries and are 575 mg. Thanks!!

There is nothing wrong with whole berries. The German Commission E Monograph recommends 1-2g a day of whole Saw Palmetto, based on clinical studies, but this is to help with enlarged prostate. There is no recomended amount for breast enhancement, as Saw Palmetto has never been studied for that purpose.

BJ you can take the whole berries no problem, the only difference is that you have to take more pills a day compared to the extract, so you didn't buy anything wrogn. I would maybe start off with three of the ones you have, take maybe 1500 mg to 2000 mg a day to start off with for the first one or two months and see how you go. You can increase up to 3000 mg of herb and as Molly said to even more but that really shouldn't be necessary for NBE.
If you look at Sunsets program, I think she takes the berries, not exactly sure but there are others who take the berries and not the extract, so if you browse the programs page you can find a guideline of what seems to work for most people doing NBE.
Good luck,

Thanks Lisa, that's what I decided I am going to do, take 1 3 times a day and then more if I feel like I need to. I did browse through the pp pages but I don't think anyone states that they take the berries although I did see a lot of them say extract.
