I already take plenty of caps and tabs as part of my daily supplement regimen, so I added Saw Palmetto in this Liquid Extract form rather than capsules.I already take several nutrients that are reputed to be beneficial in maintaining a healthy prostate, and I didn't want to add any more 'pills' to my supply. I thought I should add Saw Palmetto, because of the continuing stream of credible material that I see extolling its virtues, so I got it in this liquid form.I already use a half a dozen other Swanson Liquid Herbal Extracts in my health cocktails, and I really like taking herbs in this form whenever possible. I only use the Swanson Products, because I want mine to be sugar-free and made without alcohol, as Swanson's are.The two big concerns that one has about a product like this are: 1 -- How does it taste? and 2 -- Does it work? Answers: Fine. and Yes.The drops taste fine straight, and there is no effect on the flavor of my health cocktail. I use one big pull on the dropper as my dosage each day. All good there. And as to the effectiveness of this Saw Palmetto Liquid Extract, all I can tell you is that, while I have never had any problems with my prostate, I've never been better. I believe in being proactive about everything, and using this high quality herbal extract of Saw Palmetto fits right in for me.Easy to use, produces the results I want, and as with all of Swanson's products, is priced right. Works for me.
