Beta Sitosterol, the supplement’s main ingredient is a compound found naturally in plant products such as avocado, peanuts and other vegetables and fruits. Although it is commonly used in reducing cholesterol levels, this specific type of phytosterol has also been linked to helping reduce the size of the prostate gland. Aside from Beta Sitosterol, the product also contains zinc, an important mineral in keeping organs optimally healthy. This supplement also contains a controversial ingredient, selenium. Controversial because some studies suggest that this mineral might increase the risk of prostate cancer in men. However, the research is still ongoing.

Our Final Review of Prost-8
Westhaven Labs Prost-8 contains the exact recommended dose of beta sitosterol which should make it an effective supplement in warding off prostate problems. The manufacturer also ensures you don’t run short of the product by offering discounts for bulk purchases. However, the selenium issue has left people questioning the product, especially about its safety. The product also seems to lack some solid reviews from previous buyers which makes a thorough investigation on the product’s effectiveness almost impossible.
