the preported dose is between 1000mg to 2000 mg a day of SP (powdered form) in gelcaps.. i have messed with higher doses and received a well deserved headache.. (yes that is one of the side effects of too high of a dose of sp).
you want to reduce the DHT, most definately, because too high a dose of any xenoestrogen will fill all of the estrogen receptors (yes both males and females have both types of receptors), the rest will be converted into tesosterone... which we DONT want. what we dont want is estrogen and testosterone competing.. testosterone will win.. it is the stronger of the two and will convert the estrogen over as afore mentioned.. and far as Sp being better than Finesteride of vice versa. Saw palmetto is natural, Finesteride is chemical, Finesteride will most likely cause liver damage before sp will, all taken in moderation of course..
