Prostate Formula is a nutritional supplement designed to assist the health of the prostate and a proper sexual function through a blend of high-quality herbal extracts. The company that developed and markets the formula is Lifeplus, an experienced producer of nutritional solutions. Their line of product comprises a large number of dietary products aimed for the support of the general health or for particular health issues. The company also offers the opportunity of a business partnership providing specific bonuses (listed in the compensation plan available on the official site).

Prostate Formula is designed to address the specific needs of men but is also suitable for women, particularly for the cervix’s health. The enhancement of sexual functions is also beneficial for both sexes. Two of the active ingredients are Saw palmetto berries and Pygeum, included as a result of their powerful properties of promoting the specific health claims advertised for this formula.

The producer underlines the fact that a healthy prostate is the result of an optimal combination of proper dietary support and healthy diet consisting in increased amounts of fruits and vegetables and reduced amounts of extra saturated fats (present in large concentrations in foods like beef, pork, lamb, butter, and high fat cheese).

Overview

1) Quick Overview

Prostate Formula is a synergistic blend of herbal extracts, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
One of the main active substances in Prostate Formula is the Saw Palmetto extract from the fruit of Serenoa repens. The extract has been used as a traditional remedy for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, also known as enlargement of the prostate. It is also used to treat various urinary and reproductive system health issues, asthenia, and as an antiseptic and expectorant. However, some studies set out to prove the benefits of this extract on the urinary tract, failed to reveal any noticeable effect, while others showed contradictory results. Saw Palmetto seems to be potentially safe when used in moderate amounts. Some gastrointestinal discomfort may occur, no other side effects having been reported.

Pygeum is also a researched compound as an alternative treatment for enlarged prostate, a condition that seems to affect approximately 50% of the men by the age of 60. Pygeum is the African cherry tree and has been used traditionally since the 18th century to treat bladder discomfort. The plant acts by inhibiting the production of the prostaglandins, a group of lipids that cause inflammation of the prostate, constricting the urethra and making it difficult for the bladder to empty. The substance is also involved in reducing the inflammatory action of several other substances. Scientific trials seem to support the benefits of this plant in the treatment of various prostate affections and sexual dysfunction in men. Pygeum seems to be well tolerated when taken in moderate doses (100 mg per day, as shown in a clinical trial).

3) Is Prostate Formula Right for You?

Prostate Formula is a mixture of amino acids, carotenoids, fatty acids, plant sterols, plant extracts, and vitamins, designed to promote healthy prostate in men of all ages.

Prostate related ailments are a growing concern among people above the age of 40, prostate cancer being the most common form of cancer among men. Preliminary evidence suggests that middle-aged individuals could prevent prostate cancer by consuming multi-vitamin supplements, as prostate tumors seem to consume high amounts of vitamins.

This formula includes mainly herbal extracts, some of them traditionally used to treat prostate related ailments. Saw Palmetto extract and Beta-Sitosterol are used by alternative medicine practitioners to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Although popular, their effectiveness has not been scientifically confirmed as many studies came up with conflicting results. Some suggested they helped individuals suffering from enlarged prostate while others found that saw palmetto had no greater effect than the placebo. The same goes for Pygeum; another herbal extract included in this formula. It is also used traditionally as a cure for BPH even though clinical trials have not yet been conducted.

It is hard to determine the Effectiveness of the overall formula considering there is little information about how these herbal extracts behave when combined in a tablet form.

You should take two tablets of Prostate Formula twice a day.

Conclusion

8) Conclusion

Prostate Formula seems to particularly support the health needs of men affected by a specific male condition affecting the prostate. However, at a closer look, the supplement it seems like the advertised benefits are also suitable in the case of women. The formula also includes a relatively high number of nutrients shown to benefit the overall health by providing proper antioxidant, immune and bone support (Vitamins A, E, D3, Zinc, and Selenium).

Although medical research indicates that the active ingredients are helpful in the treatment of prostate and urinary tract affections, there are still a lot of unexplored aspects that need to be considered when deciding to use such a product. For safety reasons it is always best to consult a specialized healthcare practitioner before using Prostate Formula.
