Prostate Supplement causing decreased libido?

[CanadaJim]

Just curious. I am 55. Over the last few years I've developed some bph symptoms. The usual, up a few times through the night, bit of dribble etc...I started taking an otc supplement "Super Prostate" from Webber Naturals. It contains Saw palmetto liposterolic extract 125mg, Stinging nettle extract 10:1 75mg, Pumpkin oil 480mg, zinc 15mg and selenium 55mcg. Over the last month or so my libido has literally tanked. The only thing I've done different was add this supplement. Has anyone else ever noticed a significant decrease in libido while taking a prostate supplement? And to be honest I haven't really noticed any overall improvement with regards to the BPH symptoms. I stopped taking the supplement to see if it will make a difference with my libido. Thanks in advance.

Rule #1 Always suspect the new drug/supplement. It's probably the saw palmetto. Look for a product that has no or less saw palmetto.

Agree with Excell. Saw Palmetto is supposed to drive down DHT, which is one of the more powerful hormones that controls libido.
