Saw Palmetto

Safety profile

6 studies reporting safety data

Across 6 clinical studies, no specific adverse events were found to be increased with saw palmetto. One study reported no significant difference in adverse events compared to placebo, while the remaining studies described saw palmetto as well tolerated with only minor side effects. The overall safety profile suggests a low risk of adverse events in the populations studied.

Caveats: Most studies were conducted in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), limiting generalizability to other populations. The evidence base is small (6 studies), and adverse events were not systematically quantified in most reports, so rare events may not have been detected.
