Saw Palmetto Formula
GNC Men's
Overview
This product aims to support prostate health but is largely ineffective due to the use of non-standardized forms of key botanical ingredients (Saw Palmetto, Pumpkin Seed) and underdosed essential compounds (Lycopene). While Zinc and Selenium are present at reasonable daily values, their overall impact within a formula with underdosed primary ingredients is minimal for targeted prostate support. Calcium is present but its efficacy here is unclear as it is not for bone health, and it's unclear what it is intended for in this formula.
The Good
Contains Zinc and Selenium at reasonable daily value percentages, which contribute to general health and antioxidant defense.
Contains ingredients traditionally used for prostate health (Saw Palmetto, Pumpkin Seed, Lycopene).
Gluten-free and free from artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives.
The Bad
Saw Palmetto supplied as berry powder rather than standardized extract, which has limited research for efficacy.
Lycopene is significantly underdosed, likely offering minimal to no benefit.
Pumpkin seed powder is underdosed and is not in an extract form which may impair effectiveness.
