Take an oral supplement of saw palmetto or pygeum on a daily basis along with the nettle supplement. The recommended daily dosage is 60 mg of pygeum and 320 mg of saw palmetto.

It is not necessary to take both saw palmetto and pygeum simultaneously as this has shown to have no additional beneficial result.
