SP is much like PM in that only you can determine how much you need. Based on your dosages, I have to assume you are not taking a standardized extract. Some argue that SP is unnecessary and PM is enough. Others say to take 320 mg-640 mg of standardized extract. SP berry is very weak by comparison and could be a waste of money. Still others say SP can actually interfere with NBE. Unless you have some sort of prostate issue, you might try not using SP and see if anything changes. Simpler is generally better.
I think you are spot on, Monika. PM only for starters, add anti-androgen later after a couple of months, at least. I think it's always a good idea to add new herbs to a program one at a time to gauge the effect, before adding another. Give your system enough time to react and adapt to the new substance. Ramp up gradually is a safer way to go than going whole hog at the start.
