Prostate Support
Prostate health becomes increasingly important for men from their 40s onwards, with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and related urinary symptoms affecting the majority of men over 60. This collection covers supplements formulated to support prostate health, including saw palmetto, beta-sitosterol, zinc, lycopene and pygeum — ingredients with clinical evidence for reducing urinary symptoms associated with BPH and supporting overall prostate function. Products are suitable for men looking to maintain prostate health proactively or manage mild to moderate symptoms.

Understanding Prostate Health and Nutritional Support
The prostate gland is a walnut-sized gland that sits below the bladder and surrounds the urethra. As men age, the prostate naturally enlarges — a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is not cancer, but it can cause urinary symptoms including frequent urination, weak urine flow, difficulty starting urination and incomplete bladder emptying. These symptoms affect quality of life significantly and become more common with age.
Key Ingredients for Prostate Health
Saw palmetto is the most widely studied herbal supplement for BPH, with multiple clinical trials showing modest reductions in urinary symptoms. Beta-sitosterol, a plant sterol found in saw palmetto and other plants, has stronger evidence for improving urinary flow and reducing residual urine volume. Zinc is highly concentrated in prostate tissue and plays a role in prostate cell regulation. Lycopene, the red pigment in tomatoes, has been associated with reduced prostate cancer risk in observational studies. Pygeum africanum bark extract has evidence for reducing nocturia (night-time urination) and improving bladder function.
Common Questions
When should I see a doctor about prostate symptoms?See your GP if you experience significant urinary symptoms, blood in urine, pain during urination, or if symptoms are affecting your sleep or daily life. A PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test and digital rectal examination are standard screening tools. Supplements can support prostate health but are not a substitute for medical assessment, particularly if symptoms are new or worsening.
Can prostate supplements interact with medications?Saw palmetto may interact with blood-thinning medications such as warfarin. Some prostate supplements affect hormone metabolism and may interact with hormone therapies. Always inform your GP about any supplements you are taking, particularly if you are on medication for BPH, prostate cancer or cardiovascular conditions.
