FAQs

What is Saw Palmetto traditionally used for?
+

Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) has a long tradition of use in herbal medicine for the relief of lower urinary tract symptoms in men. As a THR-registered product, Prostasan is formally recognised for this traditional use. A.Vogel's Prostasan uses a standardised liposterolic extract — the specific form historically used in European herbal medicine preparations for male urinary tract support.

What is a liposterolic extract and why does it matter?
+

A liposterolic extract is produced from the fatty acid and sterol fraction of the Saw Palmetto berry — essentially an oil-based extract rather than a water-based one. This specific form of extraction is the type that has been most extensively studied and most commonly used in European herbal medicine for male urinary support, and it is the form used in A.Vogel's Prostasan. Standardisation ensures that each capsule delivers a consistent potency of the active fatty acid and sterol compounds.

When is the best time to take Prostasan?
+

Prostasan is best taken with food — ideally a meal that contains some fat, as the liposterolic Saw Palmetto extract is fat-soluble and absorption is improved alongside dietary fat. Taking with breakfast or the evening meal is a common and practical approach that also helps build a consistent daily routine. Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water.

How long before I may notice the effects of Prostasan?
+

Herbal supplements for urinary tract support generally work best when taken consistently over several weeks. Most herbal medicine practitioners and product guidance suggest allowing at least 4–6 weeks of regular daily use before fully assessing the effect. For the most accurate expectation, refer to the guidance on the current product label and consult your GP if you are monitoring specific urinary symptoms.

Should I see my GP before starting Prostasan?
+

If you are experiencing urinary symptoms for the first time, or if your symptoms are new, worsening, or concerning, it is strongly advisable to consult your GP before starting any supplement — herbal or otherwise. Urinary symptoms in men can have a variety of causes, not all of which are appropriate to manage with herbal supplementation. Your GP can provide an accurate assessment and advise whether Prostasan is a suitable addition to your management approach.

Can I take Prostasan alongside other prescribed medication?
+

If you are taking prescribed medication for urinary or prostate conditions — including finasteride, tamsulosin, or similar — consult your GP or pharmacist before adding Prostasan to your routine. Saw Palmetto may also have mild antiplatelet activity, so if you are taking anticoagulant medication, speak to your GP first.

Is Prostasan suitable for vegetarians?
+

Please check the current product label for confirmed dietary information regarding the capsule shell. Prostasan uses a softgel capsule format, and if the shell contains animal-derived gelatin, it would not be suitable for vegetarians or vegans. The label is the authoritative source for this information.

Can women take Prostasan?
+

No. A.Vogel Prostasan Saw Palmetto Capsules are intended exclusively for use by men. They should not be taken by women or children. If you are a woman seeking urinary tract support, please consult your pharmacist who can recommend appropriate products from the A.Vogel range or our broader urinary wellness selection.
