Prostasan Saw Palmetto capsules – herbal remedy for relief of prostate health problems – treatment for enlarged prostate gland (bph)

Prostasan^® Saw palmetto capsules

• Extract of Saw Palmetto berries
• Treatment for symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH)
• One capsule daily

The most common prostate health problem in men over 50 years of age is the enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

This condition can give rise to a number of symptoms related to problems in urination. Men suffering from an enlarged prostate find that they need to urinate frequently and often prefer to stay within easy reach of a toilet.

In addition, they commonly find that they have to get up a number of times during the night to pass water. This not only disturbs the sleep of the man suffering from prostate enlargement, but that of his partner.

Prostasan Saw Palmetto capsules is a traditional herbal medicinal product used for the relief of urinary symptoms arising from an enlarged prostate, in men with a confirmed diagnosis of Benign Prostatic Hypertropy (BPH), exclusively based upon long-standing use as a traditional remedy. Always read the leaflet.

Who can't take Prostasan?

• Do not use if you are under 18 years of age.
• If prostate symptoms worsen, if you are worried about the health of your prostate or if you notice blood in your urine, talk to your doctor.
• Do not use if you have a known hypersensitivity to saw palmetto berries (or herb), or any of the other ingredients used in Prostasan.

If you are already taking medication for an enlarged prostate, speak to your doctor before using Prostasan as this treatment may not be suitable for you. Otherwise, you may use Prostasan with any other medicines.

What does Prostasan contain?

Prostasan contains an extract of saw palmetto berries rich in oil. These berries are harvested from saw palmetto plants grown to the north of the Everglades in Florida without the use of artificial fertilisers, insecticides or fungicides.

Each capsule contains 320mg of herbal extract (as a soft extract) from saw palmetto fruit.

Other ingredients used include gelatin, glycerol, sorbitol, iron oxide (red, black and yellow) and purified water.

The saw palmetto plant is also known as Serenoa repens or Sabal serrulata.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Prostasan be taken with other medicines used as treatment for an enlarged prostate?

If you are taking medication for an enlarged prostate, talk to your doctor before using Prostasan as it may not be suitable for you. Contact us if you are not sure whether Prostasan is suitable for you.

Why is it in a gelatine capsule?

We extract the oil from saw palmetto berries using a process that keeps the oil in a semi-liquid form. Because of this, a vegetarian capsule would not be suitable.

Why must I have a diagnosis of an enlarged prostate (BPH) confirmed by my doctor before starting treatment with Prostasan?

Symptoms of prostate enlargement should always be checked by a doctor to ensure that the problem is Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) and not something more serious.

Can I take it long term?

Prostasan is suitable for long-term use. However if your symptoms worsen or are accompanied by fever or blood in the urine, you should seek medical advice.
