Saw Palmetto (Serenoa Repens) in multivitamin: possible sexual sides?

Saw Palmetto (Serenoa Repens) in multivitamin: possible sexual sides?

Hi guys,
I have taken for about a year, quite discontinuously, a multivitamin named ADAM 120 tablets, known to be one of the best products available (or so I read about everywhere). I’m taking it, obviously, for vitamins and minerals, and NOT for the ingredient I’ll talk about now.

When I bought it online last week, I noticed a component I never paid attention to, “Saw Palmetto”, Serenoa Repens. 160 mg per 2 tablets, when 2 tablets is the serving.
Well, here’s the thing: I found some sources saying it can cause impotence on the long run, some others saying instead it was used in the past as aphrodisiac, and even some comparing its side effects to Finasteride (gosh!).

I would like to have some opinions about it. Maybe someone here has used ADAM, or saw palmetto separately, or knows about its effects or can find sources I’ve not been able to.
I like that multivitamin and, I’m saying it again, it’s not the first time I’m trying it…but I don’t want to trade a good supplement with a possible impotence or libido loss.
I used the searching tool, but found only really old posts which don’t actually report detailed answers or statements.

Sorry, Mods, for the long title.

Thanks in advice to those who will answer me.

If your not having prostate problems or taking steroids I would stay away. I have taken it one time while on cycle and it helped with a prostate problem from aas. Now for a healthy person I see no need or benefit.

What was your daily dosage when on treatment?

I must admit it, I’m also disappointed because I just bought it :-/
Anyway, I have to make this clear, I already made 2 cycles with ADAM (not knowing about Saw Palmetto) without side effects that I remember.
I also have to point out I was quite discontinuous (something like two weeks 2 tablets a day, then maybe the next month just 1 a day,sometimes periods in which even zero tablets) in fact consider that, in a whole year, this is only the third ‘bottle’ I buy.

I took around 300 mg’s twice a day for 8 weeks. Or around about.

Was 300 mg the total amount you assumed per day, or 300 every single time twice a day?
In my case, one tablet has 80 mg, so two tablets which is the serving has 160 mg.
Maybe if I cut to just one tablet a day I can avoid any side effect? I Really Don’t know, waiting for someone that indeed knows.

P.S. your dose may have been 320 mg, since it seems to me we’re always talking about multiples of 80.

I take 160mg most days for prostate health (I don’t have any problems). It has no libido or impotence effects at all for me.

Great, firegoat! Always appreciated a contribution of yours.

160 mg is by the way the amount of Palmetto I would take with a full dosage of ADAM.

Can I ask how old are you and how long have you been taking it? I’m 23.

Just wanting some reassurements about

safety… Anyway also in my case, it did not have any effect on libido when I took this multivitamin in the past.

Maybe a little, but not greatly noticeable as I produce lots anyway.

I was took 160 twice a day. But I was using it to combat prostate problems for a healthy person 160 mg per day is perfect.
