Beta-Sitosterol for prostate

ad

I used Saw palmetto for quite awhile but it seemed to be losing its effectiveness so in looking around I discovered beta-sitoserol. At first it didn't seem to kick in as fast as SP but after a 2-3 weeks now it seems to be working pretty good. I had stopped taking SP for a few weeks prior to beginning the BS so I could accurately gauge its effectiveness. I went from getting up 4-5 times a night to 1-2 times plus this stuff is supposed to be good for the heart as well.

Hit the supps store looking for Beta-S to find they were out. Not sure if all SP comes with beta-S in it but I picked up a tub of Saw-P advertised as loaded with Beta-S and it's working an absolute treat Smile Smile

Another pretty cool deal, since I have been taking beta my blood pressure is the lowest it has been in 10-12 years. I can't say it is 100% the BS lowering my bp but it could very well be.

thats great bud BP is always top of my check list, constantly checking on the daily especially while 'on'.

I have medical in a week or so, keen to see where im at overall. Im sure you know it costs an arm and a leg over this side of the pond to get any sort of bloods/labs so I'm talking full advantage of this company paid medical lol.

I was skeptical (as always) but it really does appear to be working. And has other health benefits in comparison to Saw palmetto as well. It is a win win.

Was just having a quick read up on it.

Beta sitosterol prevents hair loss by inhibiting the production of androgens such as DHT. Also provides other benefits such as boosting the immune system, lowering blood cholesterol levels and relieving inflammaed prostates

Interesting.

I am all about protecting what is left of my hair!

Hmm, this is interesting as well.
Precursor of anabolic steroid boldenone[edit]
Being a steroid, β-sitosterol is precursor of anabolic steroid boldenone. Boldenone undecylenate is commonly used in veterinary medicine to induce growth in cattle but it is also one of the most commonly abused anabolic steroids in sports. This led to suspicion that some athletes testing positive on boldenone undecylenate didn't actually abuse the hormone itself but consumed food rich in β-sitosterol.[

At least that's what their lawyers told them to say after a failed drug test =)
