Saw Palmetto Berries or just Saw Palmetto??
April 21 2006 at 2:57 PM Persephonee (Login Persephonee)
When I was looking around at the health food store, I noticed that there were a couple of different types of Saw Palmetto. One said it was just Saw Palmetto and the other said it was the berries. I noticed that the berries were considerably cheaper. Is there a real difference? Which one does everyone use? Thanks.

Personally I take the berries. It does NOT say berries on the "front" of my bottle though, but if you turn it around it says Saw Palmetto Berries. (like where the "ingredients" would be listed.
The flat2fab book does not say what one to buy, it just says to buy a bottle containing 100capsules at any where from 540-600mg each capsule.
Hope that helps some.

It is always berries, only that they can be standardized to make extract, which means that it is more concentrated.
If you buy the extract that means that you only have to take one capsule a day instead of 2 or 3.
I take the extract just because I have elevated androgen levels and would need to take a lot of capsules if I only bought the berries.
Some people just like to take the whole food, as in the berries rather than the extract, so it really has just something to do with preference.
Hope this clears it up a bit,
good luck growing,

The 540-600mg each capsule would be whole berries, not extract.
