    Hi - I am in NZ and are taking 'Natures Way' SP standardized. It contains 60 x 160 mg soft gel capsules. It looks like its a US product, but as I can get it here in NZ, surely you could find it online in AU...
    Good luck with your sway! X

    I am in NZ but I am thinking of ordering most of my supplements from iHerb.com - Vitamins, Supplements & Natural Health Products. Could you order it from this site? So much cheaper than what I can find in our shops?

    Yes, 3200 mg is too much but actually I don't think even men are supposed to take anywhere near that - are you 1000% sure that is the correct dosage? Sometimes the bottle lists something different than the actual ingredients of the pills (as all of us who've tried to take cran for swaying know all too well.) and sometimes they use diff. units of measurement (as in, 3200 mCg micrograms, vs 320 mg milligrams)

    4boys, I believe we talked about this already via PM and it turned out that it really was equivalent to 320 mg after all - if you have a sec could you update us on this??

    There were only 3 types of Saw Palmetto i could get my hands on, all extremely higher then 3200mg.
    http://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/s...pe=NP&expand=4

    Went to a health food store and found this Saw Palmetto 550, but still higher then 320 - will this be ok?

    What's with the huge variance in dosage? Has it got to do with extract vs actual fruit?

    I suspect that some are going off of some different calculation or something (extract vs. dry fruit) but since each company formulates their pills differently I can't make a general recommendation about that. I saw a site that said it is concentrated 10:1 which would mean that 3200 = 320...altho I would still feel better if you either called the company to verify that or found one that clearly stated that on the label.

    Because of this, I actually think you're better off getting the 3200 and calling the company to verify rather than getting the 550 which is almost certainly more than you want.

    I have a similar problem... I bought online (itīs already here) SP solaray and itīs 550 mg...is it too much? can I "break" pills to have the half one? I donīt want to lose the money and have to buy it again...
