New Clinical Trial on Saw Palmetto Inconsistent with Positive Results in Previous Studies
[2006/02/09] [American Botanical Council (ABC)]
The results of a new clinical trial on the popular herb saw palmetto may confuse the public, especially men with prostate problems, according to the American Botanical Council (ABC). Mark Blumenthal, Founder and Executive Director of ABC notes, that the study appears to have been well desgined, but expressed concern that men in this trial experienced moderate to severe symptoms of BPH, although most of the previous controlled trials showing positive results and efficacy for saw palmetto were conducted on men with mild to moderate symptoms of BPH. In examining serious adverse events, ABC notes that there were twice as many serious adverse events in the placebo group as in the saw palmeto group, suggesting other serious health issues might have been present in the population.
