A number of studies have compared saw palmetto to a placebo over months to years. Men who took the saw palmetto didn't notice any greater improvement than did the men who took the "fake" pill—even at doses of three times the usual of 320 milligrams. However, up to 40% of men in such studies who took the placebo said they felt better, which helps to explain why a lot of men think saw palmetto helps them.
