Saw Palmetto

Short answer

We found no documented interaction between Citrulline and Saw palmetto in the sources below. That isn't proof the combination is right for you: check each one's cautions, and ask your pharmacist if you take medication.

Citrulline

What it is: An amino acid the body makes. The kidneys turn most of it into arginine, and then nitric oxide.

What the research says: Research on it as a performance supplement is limited and mixed.

Cautions

  • There isn't enough research to know whether it's safe; some people report stomach discomfort.

Saw palmetto

What it is: Berries from a small palm tree, sold mainly for prostate and hair concerns.

What the research says: A 2023 review of 27 studies found saw palmetto probably doesn't help urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate. There isn't enough evidence for other uses, including hair loss.

Cautions

  • Well tolerated in studies lasting up to 3 years; side effects are mild (stomach upset, dizziness, headache).
  • It doesn't appear to change PSA test results.
  • May be unsafe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Medicines to check

  • Talk to your clinician if you take any medicine

Educational information only, not medical advice. This reflects general ingredient overlap, not a personalized safety review. Always check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining supplements, especially if you take medication, are pregnant or nursing, or manage a health condition.

Stop Guessing Your Dosages.

Balancing dosages across multiple different bottles is risky, inefficient, and expensive. Taking too much of one can blunt the absorption of the other.

Holitro completely solves this. We combine synergistic ingredients into one perfectly dosed daily pack, scientifically formulated for maximum absorption.
