if only I could add a spoonful of sugar to help the saw palmetto go down!
I've been making a little cocktail (based on my own reading, not from a doctor) of Vitex, Milk Thistle and False Unicorn Root and I can drink it no problem. I tried to add Saw Palmetto but it has got to be the worst smell/taste ever. I just added a few drops and that Saw Palmetto flavor took over. I'm trying to do this twice a day (tinctures) but I can barely take the smell. Anyone know a good way to mask the flavor? Mostly I just need to share that I can't believe that I am ingesting the most vile flavor. That hair growth better slow down!
I hear you! Saw Palmetto tastes VILE. I am also taking Cod Liver oil which is lemon flavored (so at least when I burp it tastes like lemon), and I'm also taking the clear citrucel fiber, so I gulp down the oil, and then mix the fiber along with my Saw Palmetto. Anyway, that way I'm drinking a bunch of yucky things all at once and I don't just focus on the SP. Still doesn't make it fun, though....
OJ or GFJ reallys helps to mask the flavor of Saw Palmetto.

Ever try the pill form? It still doesn't smell great, but the the taste is masked by the capsule. I take all my pills before I go to bed, right after I've brushed my teeth. Hope this helps.

Thanks for responding. I'm going to try it with a little juice instead of water. Before I realized how terrible it was I bought it as a tea! Can you imagine drinking a mug full of that flavor?
I can take my SP without any water whatsoever. I think the difference is that my tincture is made with glycerin. Is yours made with alcohol? My vitex is made with alcohol, and it is vile. Alcohol makes it extract better, but the difference between glycerin and alcohol is negligible. And glycerin is sweet! Just a suggestion.
