Prosta Stream Dietary Supplement 60 Pills Bottle

What Prosta Stream is

Prosta Stream is a herbal and multi-nutrient dietary supplement sold as a single bottle of 60 tablets. The Supplement Facts panel sets the serving at two a day, so one bottle covers a 30-serving course. It is distributed by ProstaStream of 37 Inverness Drive, East Suite 100, Englewood, Colorado, whose name and address are printed on the side panel of the bottle. You will find it alongside the rest of our Supplements for Men range.

The formula is a broad one: five vitamins and minerals with established Daily Values, thirteen named botanical and mushroom extracts at stated milligram amounts, and one 142 mg proprietary blend. Almost everything on this label is itemized at its own amount rather than folded into a blend name.

What's inside

Every amount below is transcribed from the bottle's own Supplement Facts panel, per two-tablet serving.

The vitamins and minerals. Vitamin E appears as D-Alpha Tocopheryl Succinate at 13 mg, the naturally sourced form of the vitamin; the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheet on vitamin E covers general background on the nutrient and its food sources. Vitamin B6 is present as pyridoxine hydrochloride at 3.33 mg. Zinc, as zinc oxide, is listed at 10 mg — the NIH fact sheet on zinc gives neutral background on the mineral. Selenium, as selenium gluconate, is listed at 140 mcg, which the panel puts at 255% of the Daily Value; the NIH fact sheet on selenium is the place to read about intake ranges before adding another selenium source on top of this one. Copper rounds the group out at 0.2 mg as a copper amino acid chelate.

The botanical core. Three ingredients carry most of the weight. Plant sterol complex is the largest single entry at 300 mg — plant sterols are fat-like compounds that occur naturally in nuts, seeds and vegetable oils, and on this label they are the reason for the soy allergen warning. Saw palmetto berries follow at 200 mg; saw palmetto is a low-growing fan palm native to the sandy coastal plains of the southeastern United States, and its dark berries have a long history in men's herbal formulas. Pygeum africanum bark contributes 100 mg and comes from the African cherry, a tall evergreen of the highland forests of central and eastern Africa.

Fruit, leaf and root. Red raspberry fruit, annona muricata leaf and green tea leaf are each listed at 50 mg. Annona muricata is the soursop or graviola tree of the tropical Americas, grown for its large spiny fruit. Green tea comes from the same Camellia sinensis leaf as everyday brewed tea, simply concentrated; the NCCIH page on green tea gives general background on the plant. Cat's claw bark is listed at 30 mg, a woody vine from the Amazon basin named for the hooked thorns along its stems. Stinging nettle leaf and broccoli (stems, leaf and buds) are each at 20 mg, and tomato fruit at 10 mg.

The mushrooms. Maitake, reishi and shiitake each appear at 10 mg. All three are culinary and traditional-preparation mushrooms of East Asia — shiitake grows on hardwood logs, maitake in overlapping fronds at the base of oak trees, and reishi as a hard, varnished-looking bracket.

The proprietary blend. A 142 mg blend closes the panel, and the label names its contents without breaking out individual amounts: quercetin dihydrate, juniper berry, uva ursi leaf, buchu leaf, L-glutamic acid, L-alanine, L-glycine, calcium D-glucarate, pumpkin seed, burdock root, cayenne pepper fruit, goldenseal root, gravel root and marshmallow root. Because the panel gives one combined figure, the per-ingredient amounts inside that blend are not disclosed and are not stated here. General background on how botanical supplements are formulated and regulated is available from the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.

Supplement Facts

Allergen warning, as printed on the bottle: contains soy (plant sterols). The shell is bovine gelatin, so this is not a vegetarian or vegan product.

How to use it

The bottle's Suggested Use panel reads: as a dietary supplement, adults take two capsules daily. That is the whole of the printed direction — the label sets no time of day, no meal requirement and no cycling schedule, so there is nothing further to follow. The panel adds "do not exceed suggested use."

Storage is printed alongside it: store this product in a cool, dry place below 30°C (86°F), keep the bottle closed, and do not use it if the safety seal is damaged or missing.

Who it's for

This is a product for adults aged 18 and over who would rather take one broad herbal and mineral formula than assemble the same ground from several separate bottles. If you already take a multivitamin, note the selenium figure in particular: at 140 mcg the panel puts one serving at 255% of the Daily Value, and stacking that with another selenium-containing product is worth raising with a healthcare professional first. The same applies to zinc and copper, which are supplied together here.

It is a 60-tablet bottle, which at the printed serving is a 30-day supply — enough to judge whether a daily herbal routine fits your habits before committing to a bulk order.

Good to know

• Consult first if you take medication. The bottle's Caution panel says plainly: if you are currently taking any medication, consult with a physician prior to use.
• Keep out of reach of children. Printed twice on the bottle.
• No Proposition 65 warning appears anywhere on this packaging, so none is reproduced here.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many tablets are in a bottle of Prosta Stream, and how far does one bottle go?

One bottle holds 60 tablets, as printed on the front of the pack. At the label's serving of two a day that works out as 30 servings, so a single bottle is a 30-day supply. You receive one sealed bottle.

What are the three largest ingredients in the formula?

Plant sterol complex at 300 mg, saw palmetto berries at 200 mg and pygeum africanum bark at 100 mg are the three biggest entries per two-tablet serving. The botanical amounts printed on the panel add up to roughly 1,000 mg per serving in total, with the remainder spread across raspberry, annona muricata, green tea, cat's claw, nettle, broccoli, tomato, three mushrooms and the 142 mg proprietary blend.

Does Prosta Stream contain any common allergens?

Yes — the bottle carries a printed allergen warning for soy, which comes from the plant sterol complex. The shell is bovine gelatin, so the product is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. Other listed excipients are rice flour, silicon dioxide and vegetable magnesium stearate.

How should the bottle be stored?

Store it in a cool, dry place below 30°C (86°F), exactly as the Storage panel instructs. Keep the cap closed between uses and keep the bottle out of reach of children. Do not use the product if the safety seal is damaged or missing when it arrives.

Is the order packaged discreetly?
