Saw Palmetto & Pygeum Extract
Country Life
Overview
This product combines Saw Palmetto and Pygeum extracts, both of which have shown efficacy to support prostate health, particularly in reducing symptoms of BPH. However, the inclusion of a proprietary blend which includes phytosterols, lipase and pygeum extract makes it difficult to assess the effectiveness of the overall formula, as individual ingredient dosages are unclear. There is some evidence to suggest the complex's absorption may be higher thanks to the addition of soy lecithin, as well as a Phospho-Zyme delivery system.
