Beta Sitosterol side effects
At this time little research is available with the use of a beta sitosterol supplement to give us a full understanding of the potential short term and long term beta sitosterol side effects.

Beta sitosterol supplement questions:
Q. What is the right dosage of beta sitosterol supplement?
   A. Since long term human studies are not available regarding beta sitosterol supplement use, for the time being it is a good idea to take a day or two off each week from the use of a beta sitosterol supplement. Also, check to see if any prostate formula or other products you are taking contain beta sitosterol.

Q. Can a beta sitosterol supplement and saw palmetto herb be taken together? I am hoping the combination of beta sitosterol and saw palmetto can help with prostate health.
   A. They can, but it would be best not to take large amounts of each for prolonged periods without breaks. It is also a good idea to first learn how each supplement works for you by itself before combining.

Q. I plan to take a beta sitosterol supplement for a long time and was wondering whether it is a good idea to take a break from using this product.
   A. As with most supplements that have not had long term human studies, we suggest taking a day or two off a week from the use of a beta sitosterol supplement, and it would be a good idea to take a full week off every other month.

Q. I heard on the radia that beta sitosterol is good for prostate health. Which is better, saw palmetto or beta sitosterol?
   A. There have been many more studies done with saw palmetto compared to beta sitosterol. We prefer combination formulas such as Prostate Power Rx that have several herbs and nutrients that work together.
