Supplement monograph
Saw Palmetto
A prostate-positioned botanical where urinary symptoms, medication context, surgery timing, and evidence limits need more attention than hormone-optimization claims.
Practical read
Use saw palmetto only after urinary symptoms are clinically contextualized. Timing is less important than avoiding self-treatment of new or worsening symptoms and keeping medication or surgery context visible.
