I bought my herbal supplements yesturday and I've just now realized (stupid, I know) something on the Saw Palmetto warning label. It states "WARNING: This product is intended for use by men and is not intended for use by women." The brand I have is Sundown. What other brands should I check out?

Incredibly stupid and uninformed warning on the product from the part of the manufacurer. Of course it's ok to use.

Are you sure what you have is just Saw Palmetto itself and not a 'Saw Palmetto complex' containing other ingrediemts as well? In that case the warning would make sense. But if what you have is pure Saw Palmetto I don't understand why anyone would put a warning like that there. I'm puzzled.

Thats weird. I just noticed it says that on my bottle too (Spring vally brand). But mine says "This product is intended for use by men and is not for use by pregnant or nursing women...." it doesnt say all women shouldn't use it. *shrugs* I think its ok to use. I haven't seen anywhere when I was researching it that it isnt safe for women.
