I started using SP about a year ago and even get it shipped in from the States as is far cheaper if you buy in bulk! You can buy them in Holland and Barrett but they are quite expensive and only last for 30 days so better to buy when they have a deal on.

I use the at least 85% standardised gel capsules as you know what dosage you are getting each time. They’re great for any facial hair and to help grow the hair on your head. I would recommend them!

Did you have any side effects they say you can not use if you trying for a baby, the other is clots to discontinue use before surgery. How much in terms of dose did you use?

No adverse side effects at all. I’m not having fertility treatment at the moment but if I fell pregnant, naturally, I would discontinue use. I use 1 capsule a day which is 320mg.

Hi guys

I managed to get some saw palmetto powder, my loss is really bad now lost more than 50% of the back, it happened really quickly. How long before the saw palmetto works or I start seeing a difference?
