"I'm beginning to have BPH."
You might want to Google search for information on beta sitosterol - reportedly the "unknown" active ingredient in saw palmetto...also reportedly 300X stronger than saw palmetto.

I'd be pissed!

Try drinking beer - my prostate is the size of a softball and I have no disuria. In fact, I piss like a racehorse, especially after a few good brews.

Many of these studies are done by drug companies with the goal of eliminating natural competition. As I recall, this study used 100 mg pills, whereas most commercial dosages are 300 to 500mg. One way to guarenty failure is to use too small a dosage.

Not true.. I have been using Saw Pametto for years.. it works.. When I lived in Florida I gathered it raw and natural it grows wild there(and other states)..
When I stop using it.. the prostate symptoms reappeared..
Don't work?.. DuuuH.. I don't think so..
This report is not only wrong its disinformation..
Not all herbal suppliments work, but some do.. actually many do..
Many drugs are active ingredients from some "herb".. whose to say what the active ingrediants are?.. Maybe they missed some of the active ingredients.. and just patented one of them.. Thats why most drugs have side effects.. Ya think?..

..it works
That and increase of zinc will help BPH.
I would also suggest a PSA test every year.

Nevertheless, the new study "tips the scale back toward uncertainty" about saw palmetto, he says, "which is what the purpose of it was in the first place."
