Beta-Sitosterol, the Prostate Gland & BPH

The prostate is a small gland that surrounds the neck of the bladder and urethra in men. Its major function is to contribute to seminal fluid. If the prostate enlarges, pressure may be put on the urethra, acting like a partial clamp and causing a variety of urinary problems including:

• Difficulty urinating

• Dribbling after urination

• Need to urinate often, especially at night

• In rare cases, the patient is not able to urinate
• Reduced sexual function or impotence

This condition is known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).

• 1 in 9 men over 40 years old have BPH

• Over half of all 60 year old men have BPH

• BPH is not prostate cancer but the symptoms are similar and it can be a precursor to cancer


 		   Beta-sitosterol is the common active ingredient in Saw Palmetto, Pygeum Africanum, Pumpkin Seeds and Stinging Nettles; plants that have been studied and used extensively to treat prostate conditions. Only Prostamax contains pure Beta-sitosterol. Each 300 mg caplet has as much Beta-sitosterol content as 3,000 capsules of dried Saw Palmetto berries.

Laboratory tests have also shown that Beta-sitisterol may also inhibit the development of cancer tumours and absorption of cholesterol.

Herbal extracts are sold in Germany and France by prescription only under the names Harzal and Permixon. In the UK ProstaBrit (£0.66 per day) and Prostanol (£0.74 per day) are sold as herbal supplements. These all contain only a fraction of the Beta-sitosterol contained in a single caplet of Prostamax and cost considerably more than Prostamax (£0.36 per day).

There are 60 capsules in each bottle of Prostamax. Each Prostamax capsule contains 300 mg. of pure Beta-sitosterol from plant sources plus 15 mg. of zinc citrate. Dosage is 1 or 2 capsules per day depending on symptoms. Most customers start on 2 capsules per day and find they can reduce this to 1 per day once the symptoms improve.

We are so convinced that Prostamax works exactly as represented here that if you can honestly write to us, tell us that you used Prostamax as recommended for 60 days, and experienced no improvement, we will refund you the full purchase price.

Please note that Beta-sitosterol is not recommended for anyone who has had an organ or bone marrow transplant.

We also strongly recommend that if you are suffering from any of the afore-mentioned symptoms that you visit your GP as soon as possible.
