FAQs
What is saw palmetto and how does it support prostate health?
Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) is a small palm native to the southeastern United States. Extracts from its berries have been studied extensively for their ability to support healthy prostate function, particularly in relation to lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The active compounds are fatty acids and sterols, which is why standardised extracts are preferred.
What does nettle root add to this formula?
Nettle root (Urtica dioica) has been clinically studied to help men maintain normal urinary health and support healthy prostate function. It is widely used in European phytomedicine for men's health and pairs well with saw palmetto extract.
Is this suitable for vegans?
No — this formula contains gelatin (softgel capsule) which is animal-derived. It is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians.
When should I expect to notice results?
Herbal supplements typically require consistent use over several weeks before effects become noticeable. Most clinical studies on saw palmetto and nettle root are conducted over 3–6 months.
Should I consult a doctor before taking this?
Yes — especially if you have been diagnosed with prostate conditions, are taking medications, or are planning any prostate-related investigations. This supplement is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
