Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) is native to the sandy coastal areas of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Its berries were used for centuries by the Seminole people of Florida as food and traditional medicine. European settlers adopted its use in the 19th century, and since the 1960s it has been the subject of intensive scientific research — today it’s one of the best-documented plant supplements for men’s wellbeing, especially in Europe.

Prosterol is a patented extract of Saw Palmetto berries, standardised to 85–95% total fatty acids. This high standardisation guarantees a consistent active profile and optimal concentration at every dose. Beta-sitosterol, one of the plant’s compounds, is among the most studied for its beneficial properties on male urinary comfort — a common concern for men from their forties onward.

Softgels suit lipophilic extracts like Saw Palmetto particularly well: the extract is held in liquid form, aiding dissolution and digestive absorption, while the gelatine shell protects it from oxidation, preserving fatty-acid quality over time. It’s also easy to swallow, thanks to its smooth shape and manageable size — considered the most appropriate format for a lipid-based extract like Prosterol.

Take 1 softgel a day with a meal — ideally one containing fats to aid absorption of the extract’s fatty compounds. The 60-softgel bottle covers two months, a duration sufficient to start noticing the benefits; many users continue long-term, particularly after 40.

Intended for adult men. Not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. People on medical treatment should consult a healthcare professional before use. Follow the recommended daily dose. Keep out of children’s reach. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
