Analysis

The four-tablet serving provides 640 mg saw palmetto extract, 160 mg maitake fruiting-body extract, broccoli, green tea, and 5 mg lycopene. The ingredient mix is primarily intended for prostate support rather than the listed hair, skin, or cardiovascular goals.

Saw palmetto lacks fatty-acid standardization, and hard tablets are not ideal for its fat-soluble actives. Green tea has no EGCG or caffeine detail, while the lycopene source is not stated.

Maitake fruiting-body sourcing is a useful quality signal, though its extraction method and active markers are missing. The bulky serving and incomplete standardization make targeted alternatives easier to assess.

Who is it for
  • Adults specifically seeking a multi-ingredient prostate formula
  • People comfortable taking four tablets
  • Users who do not require standardized saw palmetto
Best for
  • Broad prostate-focused botanical use
  • Combining saw palmetto with maitake
  • Users valuing fruiting-body mushroom sourcing

Pros

  • Provides a large saw-palmetto extract amount
  • Uses maitake fruiting body
  • Includes green tea, broccoli, and lycopene

Cons

  • Saw-palmetto fatty-acid percentage is missing
  • Tablet delivery is weak for fat-soluble actives
  • Four tablets are required per serving

Nutrient quality

76 High impact

Saw palmetto anchors a prostate-focused blend with maitake, broccoli, green tea, and lycopene. Several amounts are useful but not consistently strong.

Ingredient transparency

80 High impact

Active ingredients have stated amounts without a proprietary blend. Important standardization, activity, or form details remain missing.

Customer satisfaction

72 High impact

The aggregate rating is favorable and is supported by limited review volume. No specific comments are supplied, so repeated complaints and purpose alignment cannot be confirmed directly.

Value for money

60 Moderate impact

Value is limited for the effective doses and ingredient forms. Lightly dosed additions or premium pricing weaken competitiveness.

Lycopene · 5 mgGreen Tea · 100 mg

Green tea and lycopene provide a limited antioxidant and photoprotection connection to skin health. Lycopene has relevant evidence, while the small amounts and prostate-focused botanicals weaken applicability.

Lycopene and green tea are modestly dosed relative to focused antioxidant products. Only oxidative defense is meaningfully represented.

Report overview
Maitake Mushroom · 160 mg OverallScore56
D- Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityB Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyD+ Value
Fruiting body sourcing and a standalone extract amount provide useful label clarity. The dose is near the collection median, but extraction method and active-marker standardization are absent. Cost sits close to the collection norm without enough quality detail to show premium value.
View ingredientView products
Lycopene · 5 mg OverallScore38
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityB- Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

The lycopene source is not specified, so standardization quality cannot be assessed. The dry delivery requires a fat-containing meal for dependable absorption. The active lycopene amount provides respectable general antioxidant support. The cost per standardized active amount is high.

View ingredientView products
Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) · 640 mg OverallScore30
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityD Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

The extract is disclosed without a fatty-acid percentage. The 640 mg daily amount exceeds the scored target ranges and uses unstandardized material. Hard tablets are poorly suited to delivery of fat-soluble saw palmetto actives; the high serving cost and unstandardized tablet format weaken value despite the large extract amount.

77 Performance

Ultra Prostate Formula

Life Extension
Standardized saw palmetto, lycopene, nettle, beta-sitosterol, pumpkin oil, and pygeum form a more comprehensive prostate-focused blend. It does not retain maitake or green tea, but the key botanical forms and amounts are better specified.
79 Performance

Gold Specifics Prostate Support

Solgar
Standardized saw palmetto and nettle are paired with tomato-sourced lycopene, pumpkin, zinc, and selenium. The formula provides stronger prostate alignment and clearer ingredient forms, although its serving cost is somewhat higher.
75 Performance

Protective Breast Formula

Nature's Way
High-amount green tea and a specified maitake extract provide stronger evidence for the original formula’s two weakest collection areas. It is not a close prostate alternative because it omits saw palmetto and lycopene, so it fits only when green tea and maitake are the actual priorities.
60 Budget

Prostate Defense 320 mg Saw Palmetto

Applied Nutrition
The lower-cost serving keeps saw palmetto, pygeum, lycopene, and pumpkin seed oil in a more explicitly prostate-focused blend. Several ingredient records are incomplete, and the supplied quality analysis is weaker, so the savings come with greater uncertainty.
70 Budget

Prostate Health

21st Century
The lower-cost formula retains saw palmetto and lycopene while adding plant sterols, pumpkin seed oil, pygeum, zinc, and vitamin D. Its saw palmetto amount is modest and extract standardization is not provided, but the ingredient set is more directly focused on prostate support.
80 Budget

Prostate Support

NOW
The lower-cost serving combines fatty-acid saw palmetto with a substantial nettle extract, pumpkin seed oil, zinc, and lycopene. It gives up maitake and green tea, yet offers a clearer prostate-focused ingredient pattern and stronger value evidence.
80 Value

Prostate Support

NOW
Fatty-acid saw palmetto, a substantial nettle extract, pumpkin seed oil, zinc, and lycopene deliver a stronger prostate-focused blend at a much lower serving cost. The lycopene amount is modest and several extract details remain limited, but the balance of quality and cost is favorable.
76 Value

Ortho Prostate

Protocol For Life Balance
The formula offers a well-aligned combination of fatty-acid saw palmetto, nettle, pumpkin seed oil, zinc, and lycopene with strong value evidence. It lacks maitake and uses less lycopene, but its lower serving cost makes the core prostate ingredients more economical.
75 Value

Breast-D

Pure Essence
Green tea and lycopene preserve two relevant ingredients while vitamin D, DIM, and calcium D-glucarate create a more focused formula. Saw palmetto and maitake are absent, so the value case applies only to users prioritizing those overlapping antioxidant ingredients rather than prostate support.
