ProstaGenix Reviews - What Is It?

WARNING: DO NOT BUY ProstaGenix Until You Read This Review!
Is it a Scam? Does It Really Work? Check Ingredients, Side Effects and More!

ProstaGenix is a dietary supplement endorsed by Larry King. It is notable for its blend of eighteen natural ingredients which are meant to help male users feel relief from the staining, urgency, dribbling, and nighttime trips to the bathroom because of frequent urination. This is what the company claims. In fact, the manufacturer promises that even men over the age of 40 will feel like an 18-year old again after using this supplement. It concerns not only the process of peeing, but also erection problems. According to the official website, ProstaGenix contains the most potent dosage of beta-sitosterol combined with a polyphenol blend shown to improve prostate health. Together, they are said to support prostate health and decease inflammatory molecules in the prostate. Taking three capsules per day, you are expected to feel a noticeable change. Is it really so? Let's find out by taking a look at the manufacturer information available online.

We don't know much about the company behind ProstaGenix. Even though the official website contains an image advertising more than 2,300 customer reviews on the product with an average rating of 4.8 stars, none of these reviews could be browsed to get an idea of what everyone was saying. The company is called Verified Nutrition, LLC. It wasn't listed with the Better Business Bureau. They have the following physical address: Verified Nutrition, LLC; 269 S. Beverly Dr. Suite 374; Beverly Hills CA, 90212. ProstaGenix is advertised as the number one product in the world by some organizations in the country, including The Natural Health Federation. We failed to find any indication of this honor on their website. Verified Nutrition reports maximum results over the course of three to four weeks of using ProstaGenix. Whether it is really so let us find out by taking a look at the ingredients used in the supplement.

Ingredients of ProstaGenix - Does It Really Work? Is It a Scam?

The supplement's label provided on the official website list the following ingredients: Iron 18 mg, Vitamin D3 400 IU, Iodine 150 mcg, Selenium 70 mcg, Zinc 15 mg, Copper 2 mg, Chromium 120 mcg, Manganese 2 mg, Molybdenum 65 mcg, Boron Amino Acid Chelate 3 mg, Silica 10 mg. Proprietary Master Sterol Blend 1,200 mg contains campesterol, Beta-sitosterol, brassicasterol and stigmasterol. Targeted Polyphenol Synergistic Blend 250 mg contains pomegranate extract, Grape seed extract, and quercetin. Our research of ProstaGenix ingredients is based on the available clinical evidence provided by such reputable websites as WebMD, the Natural Medicines Database, and Examine.com. They report that the combination of selenium, zinc, and iodide may help to reduce prostate pain and swelling, while improving quality of life. The manufacturer does not list the dosages.

ProstaGenix

Plant sterols contained in the supplement are not listed as effective for any condition. According to ConsumerLab, 60 to 130 mg of beta-sitosterol has been shown to improve the urine rate flow and symptoms of BPH. But it hasn't been proven to shrink an enlarged prostate. Taking 1,000 mg of quercetin daily can be effective for improving quality of life and reducing pain in men with BPH, but it doesn't solve related urination problems. Remember that the quercetin and beta-sitosterol in ProstaGenix belong to the proprietary blends, so it is not known exactly how much of these substances are contained in the supplement. No one can say for sure whether these are the same dosages found in supporting studies. The upper mentioned authoritative websites indicate that the supplement's ingredients lack clinical evidence to back up their effectiveness for any BPH or erection-related conditions. Let us take a look at possible side effects associated with the use of the product and real customers' reviews available on third-party websites.

Customer Reviews - Does It Have Any Side Effects?

Generally, WebMD, the Natural Medicines Database, and Examine.com indicated that the upper mentioned ingredients are unlikely to cause side effects in male users. However, there are reports that the supplement may lead to digestive upset. It is important to note that the recommended daily dosage of iron for adult men is 8 mg. ProstaGenix contains more than 16 mg, which could increase the risk of experiencing such side effects as constipation, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Taking less than 400 mcg of selenium daily for a long period of time could increase the risk of developing diabetes. This is the reason to talk to a healthcare professional before buying any ProstaGenix or any other supplement. Actually, if you have any symptoms related to a swollen prostate, you must address a specialist.

There is a great number of reviews from users who are taking or have taken the supplement. Many of them claim that the results are not as impressive as promised by the manufacturer. Some users did not notice any effect at all (despite using it within a month or so). There are also some customers who have experienced unpleasant side effects. Another complaint is that the product is not easy to find in local stores. ProstaGenix can only be ordered online. It is high time to take a look at the real users reviews found online.

"I have been using ProstaGenix for 45 days. I was taking two pills a day and felt no difference in my prostate health and urination. When it was advertised at Larry king show, it was claimed to show a difference within 30 days already. It is not true! I feel misled."

"Prosta Genix is a useless product, it does not work at all. It is link to a lot of hype led by Larry King who was probably paid for promotion. Thanks god, I only bought a 30-day supply. That would be a bigger waste of money. What is even worse is that it seems to have made my problems even worse. It is a crap. Do not buy this product!"

"I ordered three bottles of Prostagenix but they probably decided that I ordered a bonus pack. In reality, I did not. As a result, I had to pay a lot more money than expected. I sent them three emails but in vain. None of them was responded. So the moral of this story is never buy products online. That puts me off the internet shopping!"

Where To Buy ProstaGenix?

ProstaGenix can be bought from the official website. It is priced as follows: one bottle costs $49.95, three bottles are priced at $99.95, while five bottles can be bought for $149.95. All orders come with a 90-day money back guarantee, which can be requested by calling at 800-801-0294.

My Final Summary

According to WebMD, the most commonly used ingredients to treat BPH are rye pollen extract, pygeum, beta-sitosterol, and saw palmetto, but only one of them is found in ProstaGenix. It is used in a very low dosage, which explains low effectiveness of the supplement. There are standalone supplements on the market containing as much as 800 mg of beta-sitosterol per dose for only $20. It is more than twice cheaper than the product we are discussing in this review. Another concern of our team is the high risk of experiencing side effects when using ProstaGenix. Taking all of these details into consideration, we cannot recommend this supplement to usage.

Affordable Alternative

Many modern health specialists are sure that the prostate problems can be well solved by another product known as Provacyl and I completely agree with them. These are completely natural pills for men. I recommend you reading my review about Provacyl. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
