Lycopene is written as 5%, 10 mg; read as 10 mg of a 5% preparation that is about 0.5 mg of lycopene, and the panel does not make clear whether it means that or 10 mg of lycopene itself. Saw palmetto carries no standardisation at all here: no fatty acid percentage, and no statement of whether it is an extract or milled berry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing before you buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 20 mg between 300 mg and the 320 mg used in trials is a small gap, and on its own we would not make much of it. The standardisation is the bigger question. Those trials use a liposterolic extract standardised to 85% to 95% fatty acids, usually in a softgel, taken once a day. This panel states 300 mg of saw palmetto and nothing about the preparation, so there is no way to tell from the label whether you are getting the same material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo: close on weight, unknown on strength. That is the honest position, and it is more useful to you than the comparison to 320 mg on its own. If you want to match the research, look for a label that prints the fatty acid percentage. And if you have urinary symptoms, get them looked at properly — a supplement is not a substitute for a diagnosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to take it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo capsules a day with water.

The capsules are gelatin, which is animal-derived, so this is \u003cstrong\u003enot suitable for vegetarians or vegans\u003c\/strong\u003e. The panel does not state the animal source of the gelatin. It declares no allergens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCautions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSaw palmetto may add to the effect of anticoagulant and antiplatelet medicines such as warfarin, clopidogrel and aspirin, so mention it to your doctor if you take one or have surgery coming up. If you are having PSA testing, tell your doctor you take saw palmetto so the result is read with that in mind. Keep out of the reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing. Store in a cool, dry place. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If you are pregnant, nursing, under 18, taking prescription medication or living with a medical condition, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before starting this or any supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eThese statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
