Saw palmetto is one of the most popular herbal supplements due to its ability to improve urinary symptoms in men with prostate enlargement. Beta-sitosterol, a plant sterol, can provide similar benefit.
 
But you need to be careful when selecting saw palmetto supplements or beta-sitosterol supplements.  While ConsumerLab.com found several supplements to provide exactly what has been shown to work in clinical studies, it found others that don't.  It also identified four supplements that don't even provide what their labels claim (one had none of its saw palmetto) or don't include adequate information about the source of their ingredients.

A company selling one of the supplements that failed this review sent CL an email defending it practice.  CL disagrees with that company's position and has suggested that it correct the product.  See the Update in the report for more information.
