Product Description

Size: 60

Product Description: Schiff® Prostate Health is a combination formula designed to maintain healthy prostate function.** Schiff® Prostate Health contains Lycopene, the red color compound of tomatoes; standardized Saw Palmetto extract; 100% of the Daily Value for zinc and selenium (two minerals with affinity for the prostate); 100% of the Daily Value for Vitamin D and Copper; and Calcium D-Glucarate. All minerals are in organic chelate forms, similar to forms found in foods. Schiff® uses a supercritical fluid extract (CO2) method to concentrate the lipid fractions of Saw Palmetto berries without use of harsh solvents. Lipid extracts of Saw Palmetto berries have been standardized to free fatty acid content. Saw Palmetto lipid extracts help support healthy prostate function, including during normal aging.** Saw Palmetto lipid extracts may support prostate health by antispasmodic actions and supporting healthy metabolism of hormones in the prostate gland itself.** Lycopene is a dark red carotenoid related to beta carotene mostly found in tomatoes, watermelon, pink guava, pink grapefruit and apricots. Lycopene is a potent antioxidant that protects cell membranes and DNA from oxidation.** Lycopene helps to maintain healthy prostate tissue during normal aging.** Selenium is an essential trace element with a primary function of activating the major intracellular antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase.** Selenium supports healthy prostate tissue during normal aging.** Selenium also works with Vitamin E as an antioxidant.** Schiff® Prostate Health uses SelenoExcell® yeast selenium, the form chosen to conduct long-term human research studies. Maintenance of adequate Vitamin D status appears very important

The Schiff Prostate Health product is a great product. It has reduced my # of trips to the restroom. Taking two just before bed following light eating most time prevents going to the restroom during the night.

This is a very balanced formula, but not easily available in the drug stores in the Illinois area. I was having symptoms of severe BPH, I could have taken Finestride, a potent androgenic inhibitor. However, I chose to try these tablets, I followed the instructions of 2 as a supplement 2 times a day. It didn't do much, but I did feel a slight easing of my symptoms. I took four in the morning and four before I sleep and it completely relieves all my symptoms. I am very pleased that it works so well for me. There are clinical studies proving the effectiveness of Saw Palmetto in comparison to Finestride and similar drugs that is equivalent. I plan to continue to use this until I find something stronger.

After taking 24 capsules, at a little less than 2 a day, my urgency to urinate and getting up at night is quite lessened, and is no longer a big issue. That's a relief! Schiff has come up with a non-prescription product that may develop a following because it solves a problem, patent protection not needed. Mainly it is saw palmetto extract. Plus lycopene, vitamin D, zinc, calcium d-glucarate, copper gluconate and selenium. The label states that the calcium d-glucarate is to assist the body in removing unwanted compounds. In fact it is found in broccoli, brussell sprouts, and bean sprouts; and is made in the body. It removes estrogens, and may well discourage cancers.
Years ago I chewed on some saw palmetto berries, and uncomfortably waited for the tightening feeling on my testicles to wear off. It is strong. Today I'll gradually slack down from two capsules a day. I have emphysema, phleym congestion I have to cough out with the aid of hot coffee or tea or root beer, guafenisin tussin, vitamin B-6, and Primatene mist at least once daily. Coffee all day is part of my life, and last summer when I got too sick to grow my usual tomatoes(lycopene), the prostate started up. I find myself happier having a group of ingredients than a targeted prescription product.

Schiff was also the Glucosamine-Chondroitin combo on the grocery shelf I finally tried when they put it on sale for $10 years ago. I need it to cushion the bones in my neck.
