Q: Is Beta Prostate (radio) OK to take?

A Radio show "Your Health" featured a guy who claims to have developed a product called "Beta Prostate" which contains "Beta (something) Sterol".

Ever heard of it?  No web site mentioned.....not available in stores....no price mentioned

Gave this Phone Number 1-800-764-6259.

 

Claims it works far better than any other product for an enlarged prostate.  Anybody concur?

Beta-sitosterol has been recommended and prescribed for enlarged prostate in Europe for over 50 years.  The efficacy of Beta-sitosterol has been published in the same medical journals that report on the efficacy of prescription drugs.  I have checked out the different beta-sitosterol prostate supplements - and one stands out - Best Prostate at www.bestprostate.com.  They guarentee your satisfaction or moneyback.

After hearing it on the radio so many times I tried it without results.  I've tried many different ones over the years and have had the most success with Urinozinc Prostate Wellness.  Had always ordered online at www.urinozinc.com but recently found it in my neigborhood Wal-Mart so will begin to buy there.  Has worked better for me, and less money too.

I've suffered with frequent trips during the night, and an overpowering urge incontinence that did not respond to sequential use of doxepin (cheap) or Detrol (expensive) drug my urologist suggested I use in a therapeutic trials.

 

I tried 600mg Super Beta Prostate twice daily.  When it didn't work the first month, their sales representative said it took longer.  After about 6 weeks I began to feel a slower onset or the urge and I got up twice a night instead of four times.

 

Today on Dean Edell's radio show he reported in careful clinical trials that saw palmetto was useless.  Since Super Beta Prostate is concentrated saw palmetto I don't know what to think.  When I've discontinued the nutraceutical, the urge incontinence promptly returns.

 

My internist and cardiologist suggest continuing it's use as long as it's beneficial.
