By the Prostacyl Team at Getprostacyl · Medical review: Dr. Jason Hafron, MD · Revised
Two pieces of reading that are not about buying anything. The first sets out what the published research supports across this whole category, ingredient by ingredient. The second is a scorecard of seven checks you can carry to any label in a shop or a browser tab, applied at the end to the product this website sells.
Written to be useful to somebody who leaves without ordering.
The two guides
One about the research, one about the label in front of you.
What the evidence supports across prostate supplements
Saw palmetto has the largest trial base in the category and the most uncomfortable modern conclusion. Pygeum has the most encouraging pooled result and the oldest trials. Nettle root and nettle leaf are not the same ingredient. The guide walks the whole panel of ingredients this category uses, with the record for each.
Seven checks to run on any prostate supplement label
Are the amounts printed? Is the plant part named? Does the form match the trials? Is there a refund route with a telephone number behind it? Seven questions, each answerable from a label and a website in about five minutes, and then the same seven applied to this product without flattering it.
Why a commercial website publishes these
What a retailer gets out of explaining the category it sells in.
A reader deciding whether to spend $69 on capsules is better served by understanding the category than by another page about one product in it. That is the whole argument, and it is not a selfless one: a desk that explains the evidence has to live with the evidence afterwards.
Living with it here means printing that the best modern review of saw palmetto found little or no benefit, and that two ingredients on the product this website sells are the wrong form or the wrong part of the plant. Both statements are in the guides, and both are also on the pages that sell the bottle.
The scorecard is the sharper of the two. It ends by scoring Prostacyl against its own seven checks, in public, including the rows where the answer is no.
