Hey everyone I've been taking 1000mg of Ainterol PM R1 (Don't know if it's a low dose as it has had effects on me). But I've been taking saw palmetto standardized extract 320 mg daily. I read on here recently about saw palmetto lowering estrogen, and I didn't know if it hinders the PM a lot or anything.
I mean I still have results (Have been on PM for four months now), and I was mainly curious because about a month after getting on saw palmetto it seemed like things were slowing down. (I'm in young twenties) figured I should add my age for general idea. So I was wondering do I need to up my dosage in PM or lower the saw palmetto to 160mg? Any help is appreciated.

1000mg is a low dose, typical doses seem to be between 2000-3000mg, in your shoes i would gradually increase my dose, try 1500mg for a month and see how you feel, then if nothing 2000mg the following month, saw palmetto does lower e levels yes but is better than nothing, i used it while taking pm and it did work for me but i was taking 2800mg of pm and 1800mg of saw palmetto each day, White Peony Root Extract is generally thought to be a better bet

Thanks for the reply! =) I honestly think I'm a bit sensitive to estrogen in general so I will try the 1500 mg dose and so far I've had various fat redistribution such as hips and all of that good stuff. I'm also a very small build thankfully lol. Oddly I haven't seen much fat redistribution on my face other than a fat chin lol.
But seriously thanks for the advice. =D

Sorry missd that, you could just drop the saw palmetto and see how you go on pm alone as a lot of people have got results that way

I mean the results are there. But I just feel as if it slowed down compared to what it was and I was just wondering if it was due to the saw palmetto. =p I was mainly wondering if I needed to back off of saw palmetto some. I don't know if 4 months is long enough for the fat redistribution to start softening the facial features. (Probably not consider synthetic is around 6 months.) I was mainly curious because of me getting any type of results on a low dosage like this. But still thanks for the help. =)

I agree with Bobie. Up the PM and drop the SP. There are better anti-DHT herbs you can add later -- Pygeum, Reishi, or Chinese Skullcap.

I'm probably going to start with PM taking it from 1,000 to 1,500 (to be on the safe side) since my body actually had some results from 1,000. I may get rid of the saw palmetto eventually I'm going to see how the 1,500 mg on PM treats my body over the 1,000. =P It's a good start anyways. So I appreciate your help. =D Both of you. =p lol
