-
Which part of saw palmetto is best for the prostate?

Which is better tamsulosin or saw palmetto?
Tamsulosin is a prescription medication specifically designed to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), while saw palmetto is a natural supplement. Tamsulosin typically works faster and may be more effective for severe symptoms. Saw palmetto, being a natural option, may have fewer side effects for some individuals and could be suitable for milder symptoms or as a preventive measure. The choice between the two depends on individual health conditions, symptom severity, and personal preferences.
