What is in Prostazinc with Beta Sitosterol?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 2 capsules. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saw Palmetto ext. | 150 mg | 65% of 1,109 products listing saw palmetto give more (median 200 mg). Per day at the most servings: 300 mg. | |
| Pygeum africanum | 100 mg | 26% of 326 products listing pygeum give more (median 100 mg). Per day at the most servings: 200 mg. | |
| Pumpkin | 200 mg | Higher than 72% of 294 products listing pumpkin (median 80 mg). Per day at the most servings: 400 mg. | |
| Zinc Gluconate | 30 mg | 273%* | The label names the compound (Zinc Gluconate); its amount is likely the compound's weight, not the zinc it holds, so it is not placed among other products. |
| Vitamin E | 100 IU | Higher than 71% of 6,459 products listing vitamin E (median 30 IU). Per day at the most servings: 200 IU. | |
| Cat's Claw | 120 mg | 56% of 300 products listing Cat's claw give more (median 200 mg). Per day at the most servings: 240 mg. | |
