It’s so confusing so let’s prioritize what is important.<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. \u00a0Saw Palmetto or Beta-sitosterol.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Answer: \u00a0Beta-sitosterol – Why? \u00a0Because beta-sitosterol has been studied in double-blind placebo controlled clinical studies in peer-reviewed medical publications like Lancet<\/span>, British Journal of Urology,<\/span> and the Cochrane Reviews Database<\/a>. \u00a0Information regarding “Beta-sitosterol in BPH” can be found at the National\u00a0Institutes of Heath website\u00a0www.nih.gov<\/a>. \u00a0In addition clinical data regarding Saw Palmetto has shown that it is no more effective than a placebo in the New England Journal of Medicine<\/a>.<\/p>\n 2. \u00a0Is beta-sitosterol all the same from one product to another?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Answer: \u00a0Not at all. \u00a0Most prostate formulas use a plant sterol mix and generally they label it as so. Other products use actual beta-sitosterol in a concentrated form that exceeds the 50-55% commonly found in a plant or phyto-sterol complex or mixture.<\/p>\n Most manufacturers use beta-sitosterol from soy as it is common and allows for a increased profit margin. Soy in North America is 93% Monsanto “Round-Up Ready Soybeans” \u00a0or genetically modified to allow for the spraying of the pesticide “Round-Up”. \u00a0Round-Up\u00ae\u00a0<\/span>is familiar to most men as it is known as a common pesticide purchased at large chain home improvement stores or small independent hardware stores.<\/p>\n In addition soybeans are high in phyto-estrogen. \u00a0Estrogen is a female hormone and studies have shown that in the male body testosterone levels are reduced. \u00a0Which can lead to erectile dysfunction and a loss of sex drive.<\/p>\n A few manufacturers claim that they use sugar cane. \u00a0However no wholesale source of sugar cane derived beta-sitosterol is available that is sourced in the United States or Canada. \u00a0Sources are #1 Brazil, #2 India, #3 China.<\/p>\n Then there is non-GMO, non-Soy beta-sitosterol Best Prostate \u00ae<\/a> <\/span>sourced from pine.<\/p>\n 3. But many prostate formulas have so many other ingredients like: Stinging Nettles, Pumpkin Seed extract , and\/or saw palmetto are these important?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Beta-sitosterol is the miraculous common denominator in all of these other ingredients. \u00a0If a more pure form of beta-sitosterol was used in manufacturing instead of a phytosterol complex these other ingredients would not be necessary that is why I refer to them as unproven fillers. \u00a0For literally 3 to 4 decades (30 to 40 years) it is beta-sitosterol that physicians in Europe have relied upon for the symptoms of an enlarged prostate and not the other ingredients. \u00a0The shotgun approach appears impressive but why not just rely on the ingredients that have been studied and published in multiple peer-reviewed medical journals. The Mayo Clinic feels that at this point the data is not sufficient to make this claim. \u00a0See the link: \u00a0Mayo Clinic.<\/a><\/p>\n It is our intention to make this simple and understandable as it should be. \u00a0Do not be misled by false claims and hype or inflated prices.<\/p>\n It’s so confusing so let’s prioritize what is important. 1. \u00a0Saw Palmetto or Beta-sitosterol. Answer: \u00a0Beta-sitosterol – Why? \u00a0Because beta-sitosterol has been studied in double-blind placebo controlled clinical studies in peer-reviewed medical publications like Lancet, British Journal of Urology, and the Cochrane Reviews Database. \u00a0Information regarding “Beta-sitosterol in BPH” can be found at the… Continue reading What Is Important When Choosing a Prostate Formula<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[36],"tags":[7,38,37],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestprostatereview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestprostatereview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestprostatereview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestprostatereview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestprostatereview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/bestprostatereview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":142,"href":"https:\/\/bestprostatereview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136\/revisions\/142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestprostatereview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestprostatereview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestprostatereview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
