I have BPH and want to take Saw Palmetto. I also have Mastocytosis in my skin only. Will the Saw Palmetto drive up my histamine and complicate the Mastocytosis?

Brief Answer:
There is no known effect of saw palmetto on histamine levels!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed the drug information on saw palmetto and there is no documented impact on histamine levels and mastocytosis. Feel free to take this drug. However, I always ask my clients to be very vigilant each time they start a new drug to make sure they quickly detect any new changes and report for evaluation an prompt action.

I wish you well. Keep me posted on your experience.

Kind regards.
