Saw palmetto and plant sterols: a plain guide for men

What’s inside Prostate Prime, why these botanicals are popular with men over 40, and the signs that mean it’s time to see a doctor.

The prostate is a small gland that sits just below the bladder. Many men start paying attention to prostate health after 40. Prostate Prime brings together the botanicals most often used to support it.*

Saw palmetto: 320 mg

Saw palmetto is the berry of a small palm native to the southeastern United States. It is one of the most widely used botanicals for men’s prostate health.* Prostate Prime uses a 45% extract.

Plant sterols: 400 mg

Plant sterols are natural compounds found in plants. Prostate Prime includes 400 mg of a plant sterol complex standardized to 40% beta-sitosterol, to support normal urinary function.*

Pygeum and supporting botanicals

Pygeum africanum is the bark of the African plum tree, a traditional botanical for men. It is joined by stinging nettle, pumpkin seed and an antioxidant blend that includes green tea, tomato powder, lycopene, selenium and zinc.

When to see a doctor

A supplement is never a substitute for a check-up. See a doctor promptly if you notice any of these:

  • Difficulty starting to urinate, or a weak stream
  • Needing to urinate often, especially at night
  • Blood in your urine
  • Pain when urinating, or pain in your lower back or hips

Ask your doctor whether regular prostate screening is right for you, particularly from age 40 to 50, or earlier if prostate cancer runs in your family.

How to take it

Take 3 capsules daily, preferably with meals, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
