Sorry, nobody is answering your question Sandy. I don't know about the 3:1 ratio stuff, except I started off taking a low dose extract soft gel 160 mg, but recently switched to a 540 mg berry capsule. I'm sure what you bought is ok, you can always switch when that runs out. The BO is what will give you the growth, some don't even take SP with BO, so just try it and see how it works for you is my advise.

HI Sissy.I noticed that no one answered,it is a strange question too.I know that.I'm thinking of buying the puritan's pride saw palmetto it has 1000 mg in one capsule.maybe the one that should contain a high level of fatty acids is for men not for growth.Anyway,I'll keep good thoughts and hopefully it will work.Thanks

Sorry to take so long Sandy,
My understanding is that the 3:1 ratio means that if your SP is 160 mg, is actually the equivalent of 480 mg if NOT extract. I have two different brands. One is 1000mg SP - not extract, and one that is 160mg standardized extract ratio of 10:1 (Equivalent to 1600mg). Don't think you should have any problems with what you have. I don't know why they wouldn't state the percerntage of fatty acids, however, any I've looked at, regardless of brand, have this. So might not have been mentioned as it's considered a given? It's one of the things that IS SP, so I'd say go with what you have and it should be good.
Wouldn't worry about it, hon, as that could hurt your progress more than anything else!
Start with one for a week or two and see if you tingle, then try adding one more for a bit.........Don't start too high of the get-go or you could stall before you break out of the gates. Man I have ****ty metaphors, sorry!
Keep your chinup, breast of luck to you, and keep us posted on how you're feeling/doing!

Hi there.i finally got what the equation 3:1 or 4:1 means. Every 1 mg is actually equal to 3 or every 1 is equal to 4.So we multiply the mg of the pill by the 3 or 4 and we get how much we actually are taking..like if we are taking 4:1 standarized extracts and 250 mg per pill it is 1000 mg.Just additional information to anyone interested.Good growth.
