Reclaim Your Confidence with Jertaris™

Multiple clinical trials have demonstrated saw palmetto's effectiveness for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). A systematic review published in the Journal of Urology analyzed 18 randomized trials involving 2,939 men and found that saw palmetto extract significantly improved urinary symptoms and flow measures compared to placebo. Studies show that saw palmetto works by inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT, thereby reducing prostate enlargement. The typical dosage used in successful trials ranges from 160-320mg daily, which is the amount included in Jertaris.

Beta-sitosterol has been extensively studied for its effects on urinary symptoms associated with BPH. A meta-analysis published in BJU International reviewed four randomized, placebo-controlled trials involving 519 men and concluded that beta-sitosterol significantly improved urinary symptom scores and flow rates. Men taking beta-sitosterol experienced a 7.4-point improvement in symptom scores and increased peak urinary flow by 3.91 mL/s. These improvements were maintained for up to 18 months of follow-up, demonstrating both efficacy and safety for long-term use.

Clinical research on pygeum bark extract spans over 30 years and includes numerous controlled trials. A Cochrane systematic review analyzed 18 studies involving 1,562 men and found that pygeum provided moderate to large improvements in urinary symptoms and flow measures. Men taking pygeum were more than twice as likely to report improvement in overall symptoms compared to those taking placebo. The extract was well-tolerated with minimal side effects, making it an ideal component for long-term prostate health support.

Research published in the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine examined pumpkin seed oil's effects on BPH symptoms in a 12-month randomized trial. The study found significant improvements in International Prostate Symptom Scores (IPSS) and quality of life measures. Additionally, research demonstrates that pumpkin seed oil can reduce overactive bladder symptoms, with one study showing a 39% reduction in urgency episodes after 12 weeks of supplementation. The oil's high content of zinc and essential fatty acids contributes to its prostate-protective effects.

Epidemiological studies have consistently shown an association between higher lycopene intake and better prostate health. A meta-analysis of 26 studies published in Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases found that men with the highest lycopene intake had a 12% lower risk of prostate problems compared to those with the lowest intake. Clinical trials have shown that lycopene supplementation can reduce prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and improve prostate tissue health markers. The antioxidant properties of lycopene help protect prostate cells from oxidative damage and support healthy cellular function.

Both zinc and selenium play critical roles in prostate health, as evidenced by numerous studies. Research shows that prostate tissue contains higher concentrations of zinc than any other soft tissue in the body, and zinc deficiency is associated with prostate dysfunction. A study in the Asian Journal of Andrology found that zinc supplementation improved prostate symptoms and reduced inflammatory markers. Similarly, selenium's role in prostate health has been demonstrated in multiple trials, with research published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute showing that adequate selenium status supports healthy prostate tissue and function. The synergistic combination of these minerals in Jertaris provides comprehensive mineral support for optimal prostate health.
