Why use Prostasan?

• Prostasan is a treatment for enlarged prostate symptoms (BPH)
• It contains extract of freshly harvested Saw Palmetto berries
• Prostasan is simple and convenient to use - take just one capsule a day

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

This condition can give rise to a number of enlarged prostate symptoms related to problems in urination. Men suffering from prostate problems find that they experience urine retention and feel the need to urinate frequently, often preferring to stay within easy reach of a toilet.

Night time urination

Those experiencing prostate problems will 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 also that of his partner.

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 in any doubt about the suitability of Prostasan..

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?

Enlarged prostate symptoms 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 Prostasan Saw Palmetto capsules 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.

Joe's Story

Prostate problems? That’s something that happens to really old men, isn’t it? At least that’s what I thought until it sort of sneaked up on me. I was only in my early 50s when I found that I was getting up several times during the night to go to the loo, and having to check for public loos when driving. I realised that things were not as they should be. Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy, the doctor called it. “It happens as you get older, don’t worry.†Don’t worry!! The choices offered to me at that point were drugs or surgery. Choices…

So the search began for a third way. I believe that there is a cure for everything in nature; all we have to do is look. It is well documented that the oil from Saw Palmetto berries has a beneficial effect on the prostate, so I immediately began a course of one-a-day capsules of Saw Palmetto oil.

The result – here I am, my symptoms are nearly all gone, and I can’t remember the last time I had to get up in the night. One little capsule a day is an easy way to such peace of mind. It’s good to have back the quality of life that I previously took for granted!
