Yes, it absolutely can contribute to ED. Saw palmetto is a naturally occurring and fairly potent 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, so it blocks the conversion of Testosterone into DHT, a stronger androgen that plays a large role in the male reproductive system during puberty and development and in adulthood it has metabolic functions, binds with androgen receptors to regulate gene transcription, and generally maintains sexual organ/tissue health and function. Finasteride and Dutasteride are common examples of drugs that are 5-AR inhibitors and yes, all of these including saw palmetto are notorious for causing ED due to the fact DHT is drastically lowered with continued use. DHT is the active androgen involved in the Nitric oxide production which is directly responsible for your ability to get an erection. similarly to PFS, a syndrome where some men who take finasteride develop permanent negative side effects including ED, many case studies have shown that saw palmetto can actually produce the same result. It is unfortunate that risks are not more clearly defined to the consumer.
