Q:
Why should I take Prostate Advantage® instead of just saw palmetto?
A:
Saw Palmetto has a long history of use for prostate health and an extensive body of research.† Prostate Advantage® contains a standardized amount of saw palmetto along with clinically studied pumpkin seed oil and standardized phytosterol complex.
Pumpkin seed oil contains phytosterols, linoleic acid, selenium, and other beneficial compounds that support prostate health by promoting the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response.†
The phytosterol complex contains various phytosterols, including, beta-sitosterol, which has been shown to support prostate health.†
The combination of ingredients in Prostate Advantage® work synergistically to offer superior support for prostate health.†
Q:
Can I take Prostate Advantage® long term?
A:
Yes. We are unaware of any adverse health effects from long-term use. All of the ingredients have long histories of effective use.
Q:
Why was pygeum removed from the prostate formulas in the Schwabe North America products? And is the new ingredient, phytosterol complex, comparable to the former pygeum ingredient?
A:
Pygeum (Prunus Africana) is classified as an endangered plant species and there is concern over its long-term availability. Schwabe North America (SNA) is committed to the stewardship and sustainability of those plant species in danger of becoming extinct. Therefore, SNA has decided to reformulate the prostate formulas in the Enzymatic Therapy and Nature’s Way product lines replacing pygeum with a phytosterol complex standardized to contain 15 mg sterols and 10 mg beta-sitosterol per two softgel capsules. The phytosterol material is actually richer in sterols and beta-sitosterol than the pygeum material which contributed 7.2 mg sterols and 4.8 mg beta-sitosterol per two softgel capsules.
Phytosterols and beta-sitosterol, a specific plant sterol, are derived from various plant sources. These sterols have been shown to support prostate health.* Since sterols and beta-sitosterol are the major active constituents in pygeum, the phytosterol complex standardized to contain both of these constituents is the appropriate substitute in the prostate formulas.
