It’s so confusing so let’s prioritize what is important.
1. Saw Palmetto or Beta-sitosterol?
Answer: Beta-sitosterol – Why? Because it has been studied in double-blind placebo controlled clinical studies in peer-reviewed medical publications like Lancet, British Journal of Urology, and the Cochrane Reviews Database1. Information regarding “Beta-sitosterol in BPH” can be found at the National Institutes of Heath website (nih.gov). In addition clinical data regarding Saw Palmetto has shown that it is no more effective than a placebo in the New England Journal of Medicine2.
2. Is beta-sitosterol all the same from one product to another?
Answer: Not at all. Most prostate formulas use a plant sterol mix and generally they label it as so. Some products have actual beta-sitosterol in a concentrated form that exceeds the 50-55% commonly found in a plant or phyto-sterol complex or mixture.
Most manufacturers source this ingredient from soy as it is common and allows for an increased profit margin. Soy in North America is 93% Monsanto “Round-Up Ready Soybeans” or genetically modified to allow for the spraying of the pesticide “Round-Up”. Round-Up® is familiar to most men as it is known as a common pesticide purchased at large chain home improvement stores or small independent hardware stores.
In addition soybeans are high in phyto-estrogen. Estrogen is a female hormone and studies have shown that in the male body testosterone levels are reduced. Which can lead to erectile dysfunction and a loss of sex drive.
A few manufacturers claim that they use sugar cane. However no wholesale source of sugar cane derived beta-sitosterol is available that is sourced in the United States or Canada. Sources are #1 Brazil, #2 India, #3 China.
Luckily there is a non-GMO, non-Soy prostate formula sourced from pine. Consumers can find these products by searching for “non-soy beta-sitosterol” or go to www.bestprostate.com.
3. Many prostate formulas have so many other ingredients like: Stinging Nettles, Pumpkin Seed extract, and/or saw palmetto are these important?
Beta-sitosterol is the miraculous common denominator in all of these other ingredients. If a more pure form of beta-sitosterol was used in manufacturing instead of a phytosterol complex these other ingredients would not be necessary that is why I refer to them as unproven fillers. For literally 3 to 4 decades (30 to 40 years) it is beta-sitosterol that physicians in Europe have relied upon for the symptoms of an enlarged prostate and not the other ingredients. The shotgun approach appears impressive but why not just rely on the ingredients that have been studied and published in multiple peer-reviewed medical journals.
Is lycopene important for my prostate?
The Mayo Clinic feels that at this point the data is not sufficient to make this claim. A simple search that includes lycopene, prostate and Mayo Clinic will show this.
It is our intention to make this simple and understandable as it should be. Don’t be misled by false claims and hype or a high price.

GMO Soy – Did you know?
Monsanto’s GMO ‘Agent Orange’ Crops Already Planted in North Dakota
Best Prostate ® Formula Does GMO matter?
Often many people do not understand GMO (genetically modified organisms) and/or in this case GMO ingredients. An analogy to understanding GMO is this:
You have two tomato plants in a garden planted side by side. One is GMO and the other is all natural. The GMO tomato plant was genetically altered in a laboratory so that when it is planted it can withstand being sprayed with poisonous insecticides and or weed killers. To maximize return on investment the grower now sprays both plants with insecticide and pesticides because he feels that this will maximize his yield and he or she will not have to worry about weeds or insects destroying his fruit. The natural non-GMO plant dies as it cannot withstand being sprayed with pesticides. 
The sprayed GMO plant lives and produces big red tomatoes. The question is would you want to serve this tomato to your children or grandchildren? Would you want to consume this tomato yourself?
A non-GMO plant grown organically would not be sprayed with either insecticides or pesticides. There would be no chemical residues as a result of adulteration. The non-GMO tomato produces big red tomatoes. Would you eat these tomatoes and or serve them to your children or grandchildren? Most likely you would and they would be very good for you.
Ultimately the decision to consume and accept GMO products rests with each of us as individuals. When it comes to the Best Prostate ® Formula, Best Prostate ® is the only prostate supplement that is labeled GMO free or non-GMO. To accomplish this, the ingredient Beta-sitosterol in Best Prostate ® is sourced from pine bark. The ingredient is IP certified which means “Identity preserved”. This means that the ingredient has a pedigree and that it can be traced back to the source. Best Prostate ® uses ingredients that are sourced in the United States. Best Prostate ® is manufactured in the United States. In addition some users find it important to know that the Beta-sitosterol in Best Prostate ® is Kosher and Halal certified.

Prostate Supplements – The Best Natural Prostate Supplements
www.prostate-health-guide.com is not the place to compare industry leading natural prostate supplements — this web site is falsely misleading consumers to think that they are providing an honest assessment of prostate supplements.

Integrative Medicine and Prostate Health
The concept of integrative medicine is guided by the principle to use therapies that have some high-quality evidence to support them. This would be inclusive of combining conventional Western medicine with alternative or complementary treatments, such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage, biofeedback, yoga, and stress reduction techniques.
Advocates of integrative care say that it’s crucial to hold alternative therapies up to scientific scrutiny, rather than dismissing them outright, because doctors and patients alike need answers.
It is just as important to find out what doesn’t work as it does to find out what does. A great example is where the researchers affiliated with UCSF completed a study that showed that saw palmetto did not improve benign prostate hyperplasia, a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. The results were published in The New England Journal of Medicine. This was and is important as more than 2 million men in the U.S. take saw palmetto as an alternative to prescriptions.
Despite these findings many physicians in North America know very little about beta-sitosterol, a therapy that has shown benefit, and its use by physicians for over three decades throughout the rest of the world for the symptoms of benign prostate hyperplasia, or an enlarged prostate. A majority of physicians in North America rely almost exclusively on pharmacologic intervention as promoted by large pharmaceutical companies. It’s easy for practitioners of western medicine to completely dismiss alternatives due to the sheer fact that training in the use of natural products is virtually almost non-existent in their training. Afterall the big money and pressure is on from the giants in the pharmaceutical industry.
Even I have to admit when I first heard about beta-sitosterol I dismissed it. The primary reason was is that despite physicians receiving eight to ten medical journals per month delivered to their medical office or homes they rarely if ever read them cover to cover. What they do read is often the result of the pharmaceutical industry drawing their attention to the latest study on this or that new pharmaceutical drug. This can occur via peer to peer discusions again often influenced by pharmaceutical industry promotion.
As western medicine has progressed the time for treating individual patients has decreased. Physicians on average see twice as many patients due to managed care and benefit resource reimbursement management. This has decreased the time medical professionals have to actually learn about natural products that are published in the same medical journals that they are receiving. A good example as in the case of ” beta-sitosterol ” British Journal of Urology, Lancet, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. In addition to data made available through the NIH.GOV web site.
The good news is that there are some organizations like the non-profit the International College of Integrative Medicine that actually exist and offer comprehensive education of physicians about the effectiveness of advanced medical care through advanced level trainings and conferences. The web site for this organization is http://www.icimed.com/. On this site you can search for a practitioner that is trained in integrative medicine.
The maker of Best Prostate®, IMS Supplements, Inc. has made a donation to the International College of Integrative Medicine to support their educational efforts. 
Best Prostate Formula for Prostate Health
Prostate “Support Center” “Pill Guides” “Pill Reports”
There are numerous reports and pill reports and health guides regarding prostate supplements. Unfortunately they are not reliable and for the most part receive compensation for the product that they rank as number one, two, or even three.
Previously Best Prostate was included in some of these reports with false and misleading information concerning the ingredients and specifications of IMS Supplements, Inc.’s product Best Prostate®.
Why is Best Prostate® not on these web sites? Many of these sites have been notified that IMS Supplements, Inc. takes all fraudulent representations and misleading information about the IMS Supplements, Inc.’s products very seriously. Publishing defamatory and false information on a Website injures the reputation of the IMS Supplements, Inc.. These sites are clearly capitalizing and allowing capitalization on the popularity of the product name and trademark. Some of these websites went on to suggest that they sell the product Best Prostate®, however as a seller, they are ultimately responsible for the legality of any item that they offer for sale and the listing describing that item.
Erroneous information posted on the website constitutes libelous conduct actionable at law. In addition many of these sites violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) by directly copying both photographs and actual content from IMS Supplements, Inc. websites.
IMS Supplements, Inc. demanded removal of all defamatory, fraudulent representation, and misleading information concerning the ingredients and specifications of IMS Supplements, Inc.’s product Best Prostate® from these sites.
If you find a site with claims regarding Best Prostate® that is not identified as owned and operated by IMS Supplements, Inc. please contact us immediately at customerservice@imssupplements.com or 888-768-3836.
In addition we hope that consumers will report these practices to the FTC (Federal Trade Commission).
