APOPROSTAT® forte: Herbal aid for prostate-related discomfort
With advancing age, a natural enlargement of the prostate often occurs. This is usually harmless, but causes unpleasant symptoms such as discomfort when urinating, frequent and nocturnal urge to urinate, incomplete emptying of the bladder, delayed start, a weak stream and dribbling after urination. The symptoms can significantly impair the quality of life of affected subjects. This is where APOPROSTAT® forte comes into play: this herbal medicinal product contains high doses of phytosterol. The secondary plant substance is known for its positive effects against prostate-related urinary problems.
APOPROSTAT® forte thus offers effective relief from the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is a good alternative to synthetic preparations, especially for mild to moderate symptoms. With the power of the concentrate, typical symptoms can be relieved, leading to a better quality of life.
The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) – an official, globally recommended assessment system for determining the severity of symptoms – also improves with the intake of APOPROSTAT® forte. As a rule, the test is also part of a urologist's assessment of prostate complaints.
Follow the instructions given on the package insert or those of your doctor. If no other instructions have been given, take one soft capsule of APOPROSTAT® forte twice a day. It is best to take these in the morning and evening with or immediately after meals, without chewing and with plenty of liquid (not on an empty stomach). Since the disease can be chronic, long-term therapy is possible.

Phytosterol, an herbal active ingredient, is effective against the symptoms of benign prostate enlargement and is well tolerated when taken correctly. It has an anti-inflammatory effect, influences growth factors in prostate cells, reduces water retention and thus alleviates the urge to urinate. Small amounts of phytosterol are found in plants such as saw palmetto, pumpkin and nettle. Pine bark contains high quantities of this substance, which is why it is used in APOPROSTAT® forte. It contains the highest concentration of phytosterolon the market and can significantly improve urinary problems after just two months. Those affected experience the greatest effect within the first four weeks.
One APOPROSTAT® forte soft capsule contains 65 mg of phytosterol (at least 70% β-sitosterol).
