The one most popular ingredient that the formulas today are having is Beta-Sitosterol. This is usually found in the formulas as an extract of black cumin or the one of the pumpkin seed. It is important to notice if the product at hand is actually containing pumpking seed extract or Beta-Sitosterol since the seed extract is not as strong. So if there is 1mg of extract there is not nearly as much as Beta-Sitosterol as there would be in 1mg of the real thing. This part of the supplements is known to actually lower the cholesterol and when combined with saw palmetto, it has been shown to have effects in male pattern baldness. It prevents DHT from correctly functioning and that is why it has good effects in preventing the prostate from growing out of proportion. It is studied very much nowadays and there could be multiple more promising studies to come.

Saw palmetto is also one of the popular ingredients since it works similar to BS which is promising. The extract is very rich in phytosterols and antioxidants and not only does it also have cholesterol lowering proprieties, it can also help with inflammation due to it’s antioxidant effect. This has been shown to be quite helpful in treating prostatitis which can eventually cause prostate cancer. Since antioxidants are important in natural prostate formulas, there should be also omega-3 fatty acids in the best products. These fatty acids have not only been effective in prostate health but also in various different conditions. It would be a lot easier to list all the diseases which have not been helped from a decent omega-3 supplementation and that is all you should know – if you are not already supplementing on fish oil, you should definitely start the very first thing tomorrow.
