Am on .4mg/day flomax (tamsulosin). switching to saw palmetto. what is the best brand and strength to buy that will be strong enough to get me properly started?

Saw Palmetto for BPH: Can't speak to the brand here and evidence for saw palmetto helping BPH symptoms is mixed. However dosage is for benign prostatic hyperplasia is 160 mg twice daily or 320 mg once daily.
