Saw Palmetto Benefits

Saw palmetto studies have shown mixed results, but most of them look positive. The conclusion of this study mentions that "...the evidence suggests that S repens improves urologic symptoms and flow measures.".

A 2005 long-term, placebo-controlled trial showed that a combination of saw palmetto fruit and nettle root extracts were effective in treating urinary tract symptoms in older men (Source).

However, in February 2006, a large, blinded placebo-controlled study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed no reduction of symptoms from enlarged prostate by taking saw palmetto, as compared to placebo (source).
