Palmettoplex is a supplement designed especially for men and their reproductive system health. The company manufacturing this product is Standard Process. The supplement is believed to aid a healthy functioning of the prostate gland, thus aiding men prevent prostate related problems or alleviating symptoms related to prostate illnesses. Palmettoplex is a natural herbal supplement.

Standard Process is a company founded in 1929. Through extensive research, Dr. Royal Lee and his team of scientists dedicate their lives to provide individuals all over the world with natural dietary supplements. The company claims that their products endure multiple tests before being released on the market and that their goal is to help individuals reach a higher quality of life through their supplements.

Palmettoplex is a Saw Palmetto extract based dietary supplement that also contains Zinc and other herbs that have been found to be useful when dealing with issues related to the male reproductive system. Saw Palmetto is one of the few herbs containing fatty acids. Fatty acids are beneficial for the entire body. Standard Process’s supplement, Palmettoplex, presents itself as a good alternative to other more powerful drugs available on the market, used when dealing with illnesses of the male reproductive system.

Facts

1) Palmettoplex Quick Facts

Palmettoplex includes Saw Palmetto extracts. This herb has been used for over 200 years in medicine all over the world, either to treat a variety of urinary disorders or as a tonic. The Seminoles used the Saw Palmetto berries as an antiseptic. Also, Europeans used this herb for many conditions, varying from urogenital issues to asthenia. Some of the side effects that might be experienced from the use of Saw Palmetto include: gastrointestinal distress, unbalanced sex hormones, increased risk of hearth related diseases and also enhanced risk of bleeding. However, most studies concur that Saw Palmetto is useful when dealing with BPH (benign prostatic hypertrophy or more commonly known as an enlarged prostate).

Nutrition Facts

2) Palmettoplex Nutrition Facts

Palmettoplex contains the following ingredients: Zinc, Saw Palmetto (Berry) Extract (Serenoa repens) (45% liposterolic fatty acids), Saw Palmetto (Berry) Powder, Stinging Nettle (Root) (Urtica dioica) Extract, Pygeum (Bark) Extract (Pygeum africanum) (3% steroids), Maltodextrin, gelatin, zinc, liver chelate, water, silica, colors, calcium stearate, and corn starch.

3) Does Palmettoplex Work?

Apart from its protective use for the prostate, the ingredients contained in this supplement also can support the immune system. Thus, the tomato powder in the product’s blend is a good source of lycopene. Lycopene helps strengthen the immune system and since it is an antioxidant, it helps the body rid itself of harmful free radicals. Zinc also supports the healthy functioning of the immune system, although its main ability is to protect the prostate gland, being considered one of the essential nutrients needed in order for it to function properly. Alanine, glycerine and glutamine are known for their ability to enhance herbal efficacy.

Protomorphogens or PMGs are Dr. Royal Lee’s lifetime work. Dr. Royal Lee is the founder of Standard Process. He has dedicated his life to demonstrate the healthy implications PMGs have on the human body and after years of intensive research managed to do it. PMGs work at a cellular level and encourage cell division and overall tissue health. Thus PMGs extracted from bovine (or porcine) prostate, aid the human prostate, PMGs extracted from bovine (or porvine) liver, aid the human liver, and so on.

This product also contains herbs. As previously stated, in its proprietary blend, this supplement contains alanine, glutamine and glycerine. These ingredients aid the better absorption of the nutrients found in herbs. Saw Palmetto is one of the herbs contained in this supplement. Its primary function is to aid prostate health but its berries are rich in steroids, triterpenes and fatty acids, so this herb is useful in various other circumstances and ailments as well.

There are testimonials online about this product. Some of which include the following:

  • I bought this for my dad who was having issues controlling his bladder. He went from drinking a cup of coffee at McDonald’s and not making it home without urinating in his pants to staying dry in about 6 weeks.

  • For 5 years, my husband has been using this product, (as well as Prost-X and Prostate PMG) as recommended by his kinesiologist, to lower his PSA. After the first recheck of his test, his score had dropped considerably and, after the second recheck it was within normal range where it has stayed for the last 4.5 years.

On the company’s website, as well as on other online stores, this supplement is sold at an affordable price. The recommended daily intake is of 1-3 capsules per day, depending on the number of meals. If the recommended daily dosage is not exceeded, a bottle should last for about a month of use. Since a bottle contains 150 capsules, if the dosage is that of 3 caps per day, the product should last for about 50 days. The manufacturing company does not offer any money-back guarantee policy.

How To Use

7) How to Use Palmettoplex

Zinc is also among the ingredients contained by Palmettoplex. This mineral is one of the most important minerals needed by the human body. However, most individuals have no knowledge of this or tend to ignore the importance of the presence of Zinc in the body in optimal levels. A Zinc deficiency might lead to growth retardation, severe hair loss, impotence, and even an impaired immune function. People suffering from gastrointestinal diseases, alcoholics, vegetarians, and infants exclusively breastfed are at a higher risk of suffering from a Zinc deficiency than most individuals.

Bottom Line

8) Our Bottom Line

Palmettoplex is the alternative Standard Process offers when dealing with urinary issues and other male reproductive problems. Its main ingredient has been proven to be effective when dealing with BPH. Although research has proven Saw Palmetto extracts to be efficient in problems related to the male reproductive system, this herb is not as well-known as it should be. Also, customer testimonials show that individuals using this product seemed pleased with the results they achieved. Overall, Palmettoplex presents itself as a sturdy opponent to other more powerful drugs available on the market nowadays that promise to resolve or alleviate problems related to the male reproductive system.

I bought this for my dad who was having issues controlling his bladder. He went from drinking a cup of coffee at McDonald’s and not making it home without urinating in his pants to staying dry in about 6 weeks. It took about halfway through the second bottle and my dad wanted to give up, but he didn’t and he’s happy he kept taking it. He’s not taking any other supplements for bladder control. This is a great product.

For 5 years, my husband has been using this product, (as well as Prost-X and Prostate PMG) as recommended by his kinesiologist, to lower his PSA. After the first recheck of his test, his score had dropped considerably and, after the second recheck it was within normal range where it has stayed for the last 4.5 years. My husband is 59 and will continue to use this product as it works to keep his prostate healthy.
