Saw Palmetto

Does Saw Palmetto cause weight gain? If I did happen to gain weight from taking Saw Palmetto and then I stopped taking the Saw Palmetto will my weight go back down to normal or is the weight increase permanent?
Does Saw Palmetto increase breast size by itself? Would the increase in breast size from the Saw Palmetto be a permanent increase?

I believe SP does cause some weight gain, I used it and did gain in weight, I always thought it was the Fenugreek, but since going off the SP and replacing it with Nettle I have lost quite a lot of weight, unintentionally, and I am still on the Fenugreek, so my guess would be that it can cause weight gain, some girls have reported this, and in my experience you lose the weight again as well, but I don't think there is a guarantee.
You can take Nettle root if you are worried about this, it is an androgenic herb just like Saw Palmetto, and does not potentially interfere with birth control pills.
I am not sure if SP causes breast growth on it's own, it may do if you have too many androgens but I would guess that it would take a long time because you actually want the phytoestrogens that are in Fenugreek, Fennel, Wild Yam etc. to cause boob growth.
I hope this clears things up a bit, good luck,

Hello,
I'm desperate for weight gain, did the SP give you weight gain on its own or did it stimulate your appeteite, also how long did it take before you gained the weight.
How much weight did you gain?
would appreciate to know as I would love to put on a few pounds.
thanks

I would add a phytoestrogenic herb like Fenugreek or Fennel for boob growth, not just take saw palmetto on its own.

I haven't experienced any weight gain by taking saw palmetto, but if you think it might give you weight gain there are other anti-androgens.
I don't know about fenugreek and weight gain. But if fenugreek causes weight gain it must be for a quite different reason to why saw palmetto might cause weight gain.

I've no idea how much fenugreek you'd take to deliberately cause weight gain or even what the chances would be that it would work. Same goes for saw palmetto.
