Pure Encapsulations Beta-Sitosterol | Supplement for Urinary Flow and Health* | 90 Capsules

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I like this brand. Seems to help me after consistently taking it every day. The capsules are not a huge dose so you can gradually increase the number you take over time to reach the results you're looking for. Of course nothing works 100% for everyone but it does help me.

Excellent for helping to urinate with prostrate issues

A lot of men take saw palmetto for prostate health. What most of them don’t know, however, is that Beta sitosterol is the active component in sawn palmetto. And the plant only contains a very small amount. This is a much more effective way to provide prostate support. And this brand scores well for purity in lab tests.

Pure Encapsulations is a quality brand and this particular product should help my husband.

I have been taking BS now for several years, off and on with mostly good results. After about a month or so it seems to be less effective so I stop for a while and then start back up again. Also, I assume that most of you know that taking a cash register receipt in your hand at a store is very problematic. The paper is coated with BPA which is very harmful for the prostate. I watched a video of a urologist being interviewed and asked what he recommends for his patients who have prostate issues. His answer was to never touch a cash register receipt from a store. I have been following his advice now for several years and it has helped.

I bought this because I was having to pee about 5 times per night. I watched an episode of The Kominsky Method on Netflicks, which I highly recommend. Michael Douglas plays a 75 year old acting coach who is having peeing problems. His friend, Alan Arkin, recommends trying a supplement called Beta-sitosterol, to reduce the urge to pee.Well I ordered this pure encapsulations version and I was amazed that during the first night, I only had to pee twice and since then, I am only peeing once or twice at night, plus my pee stream is stronger than before.I urge you to try this. I take one tablet at breakfast and one at dinner. I hope it helps you. By the way, I never write reviews.

I've taken a LOT of supplements in my life for a lot of different hoped outcomes. Almost no supplement lives up to the promise of having an immediate impact. I'd put beta sitosterol up there with creatine in terms of how fast and definitively it works.I had gotten to the point over several years where it was sometimes difficult to start or maintain a stream which is fairly serious. I had tried stinging nettle and saw palmetto and had very limited results (hard to tell if they worked at all really). However, literally within one week of starting beta sitosterol I was almost back to completely normal in terms of flow. It exceeded every one of my expectations in a big way. I never thought a supplement could get me back to very nearly normal functioning.Right now the way i am using it is one capsule first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. I also take one saw palmetto pill at night (because i had already been doing that). I have no idea if the saw palmetto is working synergistically with the beta sitosterol or not. When I run out of saw palmetto I'll probably stop taking it and then see how my symptoms go. If I have to add it back I'll update my review.So far this is, by far, right up at the tippy top of the list of most effective supplements I have ever used. It has dramatically improved a situation that was getting progressively worse over time.

There are no benefits specified, but the implied benefit is for prostate health. So you're probably considering taking this for an enlarged prostate, or for no particular reason. I took this product every day for 4 months and made the following observations. First, it has an odd, unpleasant side effect that men will not like. More importantly, it has no effect on an enlarged prostate. My prostate scans in September, then February showed no reduction of the enlarged prostate. Purely coincidentally, in this short 4-month period I went from a normal heart to a dangerously enlarged heart. There is no reason to consume this product.
