Life Extension PalmettoGuard Saw Palmetto & Beta-Sitosterol – Supports Healthy Prostate Function & Hormone Metabolism Health – Supplements for Men - Gluten-Free, Non-GMO – 30 softgels

This is the first time I bought this brand of saw palmetto. This is a standardized extract of saw palmetto, 320mg providing 272mg of fatty acids. If you are looking for 320mg standardized to 85% fatty acids then that is exactly what this is. They don't state the percentage on the bottle but 272mg is 85% of 320mg.Why should you care? Well all of the clinical studies of saw palmetto that found it effective used either 160mg or 320mg of a standardized extract, standardized to 85% fatty acids. Any saw palmetto that is not standardized has an unknown quantity of the therapeutic component, the fatty acids.I bought this primarily for the saw palmetto but it also contains beta-sitosterol, which is also effective for same reasons. I'm not as familiar with it so I can't comment on the quantity of 90mg. It also contains boron and rosemary extract, but I don't know their purpose.In addition to the 4 active ingredients I mentioned above, the first additional ingredient listed is pumpkin seed oil. I find it interesting that they don't list this in the chart with active ingredients because it has also been shown effective like saw palmetto in studies, including in combination with saw palmetto. They don't list amount of pumpkin seed oil so it must be less than the therapeutic amount of studies. In any event, pumpkin seed oil as a base is a much better choice than the vegetable oil that many other saw palmetto products use.This saw palmetto is also non-gmo certified. It is also easy to swallow.The bottle is a one month supply and a good value for the money.

It took a few weeks to kick in, but I've noticed a drop in night time visits to the bathroom and better emptying. I used to get up 3-4 times a night to urinate, but now I get up 1-2 times.These are gel caps and as other people have mentioned, they will melt if left in a hot mailbox all day. My advice is to set up your order so it arrives when you're home to retrieve it from the mail. I live in Las Vegas and have had no issues with melting if they're not out in the mailbox all day.

The pills are all stuck together and cannot be removed from the bottle without cutting the bottle in half and then separating the pills with a razor knife.Do not purchase this product.

I’ve tried 5 or 6 different prostate brands over the years. Nothing worked. Every brand had reviews where some people said it worked for them and other reviews where guys said they didn’t notice any difference with flow or urgency or trips to the bathroom at night. I’ve been taking this for over 3 weeks now and my flow has improved, I don’t have that horrible urgency to pee and last night I didn’t get up once. I’m really happy with this stuff. Works great for me. I’m 74.

Great value as compared to nationally tv recommendations!

When I received this supplement, the softgels were all stuck together in one large mass, making it very difficult to get them out of the bottle. It took quite a bit of effort to separate them, and I was concerned the product was compromised. I've experienced similar issues with other softgel supplements in the past. I don’t believe this happened due to the shipping time, as it arrived quickly. This seems like a common issue based on other reviews, so potential buyers should be aware.

It works

Great product and timely delivery
