Key ingredients — what the evidence shows
These are the most commonly included ingredients in prostate health supplements. The evidence summary reflects the current state of peer-reviewed human research, not manufacturer claims.
| Ingredient & Common Dose | Evidence Summary |
|---|---|
Saw Palmetto (320mg) | Moderate evidence for reducing urinary symptoms. Most RCTs show benefit at 320mg/day standardized to 85–95% fatty acids. |
Beta-Sitosterol (60–130mg) | Strong evidence for improving urinary flow. Often more evidence-supported than saw palmetto alone. |
Pygeum Africanum | Cochrane review supports modest improvements in urinary symptoms. Typically 100–200mg daily. |
Lycopene (15mg) | Observational data links higher intake to reduced prostate cancer risk. Supplemental evidence less conclusive. |
Zinc (11–30mg) | Prostate tissue has the highest zinc concentration in the body. Deficiency is associated with prostate dysfunction. |
