Overview

The Dr. Tobias Prostate supplement contains several key ingredients with recognized benefits for prostate health, such as Saw Palmetto, Plant Sterols, and Pygeum Africanum, at doses that align with some research. However, the presence of a proprietary blend with undisclosed amounts for many ingredients and the inclusion of numerous components with limited or unproven efficacy for prostate health dilute the overall effectiveness. While some vitamins and minerals are well-dosed, the broad formulation without clear rationale for every ingredient makes it less targeted.

The Good

Provides clinically studied ingredients for prostate health like Saw Palmetto, Plant Sterols, and Pygeum Africanum.

Includes adequate to high doses of essential minerals (Zinc, Selenium) and vitamins (Vitamin E, B6) beneficial for overall and prostate health.

Contains a wide array of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds from various plant extracts.

The Bad

Proprietary blend (213 mg) obfuscates individual ingredient dosages, making it impossible to verify the efficacy of included herbs like Quercetin, amino acids, and some mushroom powders for prostate health.

High dose of Selenium (210 mcg, 300% DV) may lead to toxicity with prolonged use or supplementation from other sources.

Includes many ingredients (e.g., Graviola, Cat's Claw, Juniper Berry, Buchu Leaf, Goldenseal, Gravel Root, Marshmallow Root, Parsley Leaf) with limited or no strong clinical evidence for prostate health benefits.
