What do you consider a low dose? I personally do not feel you should take a low dose anything. Any products, whether for NBE or your general health should only ever be consumed at Recommend Daily Intake (what you typically see on multi-vitamin type products) or better yet at a Recommended Therapeutic Effective Dose.
The difference is, the RDI isn't an amount for any specific function but just generalized health whereas a Therapeutic Effective Dose is tailor specifically for the ailment you trying to fix. Often time, the Therapeutic dose is 3-4-5-10x larger then the RDI. There is no one therapeutic dose for a given herb. Some herbs can be used for many different ailments and he ailment may have a different therapeutic dose.
Maybe you should consider a start of Fenugreek + Saw Palmetto + Wild Yam as a recommended basic program here from Wahaika then tailor it depending on how you respond to it after 2 months.
