Question Saw Palmetto and weight gain??

Hi everyone,

To all of you taking saw palmetto: Have you noticed any increase in appetite or weight gain?

I'd like to try saw palmetto to reduce the affects of my high testosterone level, but in researching the herb I've found that one of the uses is to encourage weight gain in the sick. I still have 20 pounds to lose and I'm afraid that the sp will make it harder. Any advice?

Thanks so much!!

I just started it not even a week yet so I cannot tell a difference for the moment. I'll keep you posted if I gain.

I didn't seem to have a problem with any weight gain while on it. It worked wonders for the excessive hair growth and acne though. I'm going back on it after the new year and I will let you know.

Thanks for your responses, ladies. I decided to give the SP a shot and just bought a bottle from GNC. We'll see
