Hi

I am from Hong Kong and new to this forum. Today, I went to GNC and found that SAW PALMETTO is for men only.

Would smart girls here mind telling me why SAW PALMETTO used for NBE? And even if it's for men, can i take Wonderup accompany with SAW PALMETTO?

Thanks a lot!

Hi HongKongGirl

Yes you are right, herbs that can prevent testosterone from converting into DHT (a very potent version of testosterone) are MOST COMMONLY used by men to treat an enlarged prostate (a side effect of too much DHT).
Now for us women, excess amounts of DHT sabotage estrogen (they suppress estrogen activity and inhibit conversion of testosterone into estrogen). So for girls with elevated testosterone levels, DHT-blocking herbs like Saw Palmetto are an essential ingredient for breast enlargement. Other herbs with similar effect include Nettle, Licorice, Pumpkin Seeds, and Pygeum.

If you want to read more on Saw Palmetto and its properties, I suggest you go to "Other resources", then under "Related Information", click on "Information on Herbs", find a thread called: "ALL ABOUT SAW PALMETTO".

Hope this helps

Best boobie wishes,

Hi

I was just wondering if it was okay for women to take Saw Palmetto that is labeled "for men". Is there a difference between the Saw Palmetto pills that are meant for men and the ones that don't have any gender specified? Because, I went to the store the other day and I was looking for Saw Palmetto pills but all of them said "Saw Palmetto for Men", or something of that sort.

For example: http://www.jamiesonvitamins.com/pr_images/large/2415.gif
I saw that on the shelf. As you can see, it says "formulated for men".

I'm sorry if this is a silly question .. I know that it's already been stated that women CAN take Saw Palmetto, but I'm just not clear on the "for men" part.


Thank you!

Yes, you can take Saw Palmetto that is labeled "for men" (it's tranditionally been a men's herb, so sometimes it's labeled that way). However, I would be sure to check the label to see what it actually contains. If it is a blend and contains other things in addition to the saw palmetto, you might want to try to find just saw palmetto. Just be aware of what you are putting into your body!

Growing boobie blessings to all the boobie goddesses!

Thank you for clearing that up for me Surf

I'll be sure to look at the ingredients next time I get a chance to go to the store.

I checked the Jamieson website and it said that their capsules contains: Saw Palmetto Berry 200mg, Pygeum Bark 7,500mg, Cranberry Fruit 250mg, Pumpkinseed Oil 100mg.

Would those ingredients be good for BE even though its not pure Saw Palmetto?

The bark is 7,500mg! The tablets must be huge.

The bark must be an extract.

Yes definitely. All the ingredients in that Jamieson product look like extracts.

Pygeum and pumpkin seed have often been mentioned in this forum.
