International prostate symptom score (IPSS)
Find out how healthy
your prostate is by means of this WHO recognised IPSS* Test. The scale
serves to give an early diagnosis of symptoms.
By filling in this form, you
will help your doctor to assess if you have an enlarged
prostate, and how badly it is affecting you. An enlarged
prostate is a common and benign (non-cancerous) condition
that often occurs in older men. (The results do not
help to diagnose prostate cancer.)
Please answer the following
questions about your urinary symptoms. Write your score for
each question at the end of each row, add the total, and see below for a
guideline to evaluation.

or only slight symptoms of benign enlargement of the prostate. At this state

prostate can be prevented, symptoms removed and further progress of the
disease halted, thanks to only one Prostasan capsule a day.

prostate. At this stage too, Prostasan®
is ideal for reducing symptoms and halting growth. Your chemist or
pharmacist will be happy to advice you on prostate complaints.
20-35
points: pronounced symptoms
The IPSS test indicates a
pronounced, benign enlargement of the prostate. Your doctor will provide an
accurate diagnosis. He will also be able to advise on therapies available

Prostasan® Research
Research into the effectiveness of Prostasan® Saw Palmetto capsules has
achieved excellent results. Conducted by Swiss GPs, the study involved 367
patients who had an enlarged prostate (also known as Benign Prostatic
Hypertrophy or BPH). Patients took one Prostasan® capsule daily for eight
weeks.
-
83% of patients experienced improvement in
just four weeks
-
Prostasan® worked even for patients with
severe symptoms
-
Symptoms improved in all cases by an
average of 36%
-
Rapid results with just one capsule a day
The key findings were:
-
Prostasan® Saw Palmetto capsules had a
very good efficacy in the treatment of BPH. Symptoms improved by 42% for
patients with mild symptoms and 38% for patients with medium symptoms.
Severe symptoms were reduced by 30%.
-
All patients reported an improvement in
quality of life.
-
86% of all monitored patients indicated
that they would continue taking Prostasan® due to its good tolerability
and high effectiveness

How do
Prostasan Saw Palmetto capsules work?
Prostasan Saw Palmetto capsules contain oils called Free Fatty Acids. These
help to reduce the levels of dihydrotestosterone.
How long does Prostasan take to work?
Most people will see a gradual improvement after four weeks but it is
recommended that you try it for at least three months for maximum results.
Can you take Prostasan long term?
There is no time limit; it can be taken for as long as needed.
Why is Prostasan in a gelatine capsule?
The oil is extracted from the Saw Palmetto berry by a unique process.
Keeping the oil in liquid form ensures a more potent and effective remedy.
However, because the oil is in liquid form, a vegetarian capsule would not
be suitable. Most companies that supply their Saw Palmetto in a vegetarian
capsule have dried the oil to a powder in order to do so.
Why have you made it a 320mg capsule?
Various studies around the world on Saw Palmetto have found that the optimum
benefit results from a dose of 320mg. Take less and it is not as effective
but if you take more it will not work any faster.
Are there any side effects?
There are no known side effects. |
