Saw palmetto-Damiana capsules for Men

 

Grind 1oz damiana leaves and 1 oz saw palmetto berries to a powder. Pack the

powder into size 00 gelatin capsules. Take 3-6 capsules/day until they run

out. Remember that herbal preparations take time to work so don't expect

overnight success in love, especially if you have not been able to perform in

years (in which case, maybe you should see a doctor).
