oral administration of one capsule containing 160 mg of saw palmetto lipidic extract plus inactive fillers twice a day between meals.

No results or links to the publications are available.
4. Research on Lycopene in Treating Patients with Prostate Cancer or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia The study compared a once daily oral lycopene supplement with a placebo for three weeks. There were six primary factors observed focused on the uptake of lycopene from prostate biopsy samples and serum samples. A published study reported that lycopene concentrations in the prostate biopsy and serum were greater( p < 0.05) in the lycopene group than in the placebo group. No precise study results were posted.
5. Research Study in Patients with Functional Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Symptoms Who Switched from Phytotherapy to a Common Pill The aim of this observational prospective study was to evaluate the effects of switching from phytotherapy to a pill containing 0.4 mg of the active ingredient once daily( o. d.) on efficacy, sexual function and tolerability in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms / benign prostatic hyperplasia( LUTS / BPH) who have a poor response to at least 4 weeks of phytotherapy. The switch to this pill containing 0.4 mg o. d. improves LUTS and related quality of life. Sexual function is also slightly improved. The pill is as well tolerated as phytotherapy and abnormal ejaculation appears to be no problem. Both patients and urologists perceive the pill to be superior to preceding phytotherapy.
