Prostan Plus Review 2026An Honest Look at the Label
|Medically Reviewed by Editorial Team
Prostan Plus has been renamed NuProstate. The old prostanplus.com and prostanplus.de addresses now redirect to NuProstate sites, and the product photos are still stored under the old name. If you are searching for "Prostan" or "Prostan Plus", this is the product.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- Full label with doses and standardisations
- Saw palmetto at a standard dose
- Contains a little lycopene and nettle
Cons
- Saw palmetto no better than placebo in Cochrane reviews
- Pygeum removed in the NuProstate formula
Who Is This For?
Recommended For:
We would not recommend it for an enlarged prostate. Men who still want a saw palmetto formula should know that the best reviews found it no better than placebo, and should see a doctor first.
Not Recommended For:
Any man with new urinary symptoms who has not had a check-up and PSA test, men who cannot pass urine or see blood in their urine (urgent care), men already on prostate medication without asking their doctor, and anyone taking regular medicines, since black pepper extract can change how some drugs are cleared.
Summary
One ingredient changed in the rename: pygeum (African cherry bark, 100 mg), the ingredient with the most encouraging small trials, was replaced by 100 mg of Sophora japonica, a quercetin source. Everything else is the same.
What the label shows, per 2 capsules: saw palmetto 320 mg, pumpkin seed extract 300 mg, pomegranate, nettle leaf, willowherb and Sophora 100 mg each, tomato extract 50 mg (about 5 mg lycopene), zinc 15 mg, selenium 55 mcg and vitamin E 12 mg.
What the research says: two Cochrane reviews found saw palmetto no better than placebo for urinary symptoms, and in the largest pumpkin seed trial the extract did no better than placebo either.
Before you order: there is no money-back guarantee, only a 10-day window from purchase for unused goods. Beware of prostanplus.org: it calls itself the official site, but its buttons sell a different product.
Ingredient Breakdown
The current NuProstate label, ingredient by ingredient, with the best human evidence for each.
- Saw palmetto extract, 320 mg. The main ingredient. A 2023 Cochrane review of 27 studies found little to no difference from placebo in urinary symptoms, with high certainty. The European urology guideline gives only a weak recommendation, and only for a hexane-extracted form; NuProstate uses a CO2 extract.
- Pumpkin seed extract, 300 mg (20% beta-sitosterol, so about 60 mg). In the year-long GRANU trial of 1,431 men, pumpkin seed extract at 1,000 mg a day did no better than placebo. A Cochrane review of beta-sitosterol found short-term symptom improvements, without shrinking the prostate.
- Nettle leaf extract, 100 mg. One 620-man trial found large symptom gains with nettle, but the abstract gives no dose or plant part, and guidelines refer to nettle root.
- Willowherb (Epilobium), 100 mg. Tested only inside a five-herb combination. The sales page calls it "willow bark", which is a different plant.
- Sophora japonica, 100 mg (about 89 mg quercetin). A small trial in chronic prostatitis, not enlargement, used 1,000 mg of quercetin a day.
- Tomato extract, 50 mg (about 5 mg lycopene). A 40-man pilot used 15 mg a day and saw a lower PSA and no further prostate growth.
- Pomegranate seed extract 100 mg, zinc 15 mg, selenium 55 mcg, vitamin E 12 mg, black pepper extract 2 mg. No prostate-enlargement trials that we could verify.
Selenium and cancer. The sales page says selenium may lower prostate cancer risk. The SELECT trial of 35,533 men found that 200 mcg a day of selenium did not prevent prostate cancer.
What Prostan Plus actually contains
| Ingredient | On the label | In the trials |
|---|---|---|
| Selenium | 55 µg | 55 µg100% |
| Saw palmetto | 320 mg | 320 mg100% |
| Beta-sitosterol | 60 mg | 60 mg100% |
| Zinc | 15 mg | 8 mg188% |
Amounts are taken from the manufacturer’s own supplement facts panel. Where a label states a standardisation, the active fraction is what we compare, because the active is what the trials measured.
Dosage Analysis
Our Dose Check puts each label amount next to the dose in the best human study.
- Saw palmetto: 320 mg, a standard dose. Dose is not the problem: double and triple doses also failed in a 72-week trial.
- Pumpkin seed extract: 300 mg vs 1,000 mg a day in GRANU. Less than a third, of a dose that already matched placebo.
- Lycopene: about 5 mg vs 15 mg a day. A third.
- Quercetin: about 89 mg vs 1,000 mg a day, in a different condition. About a tenth.
- Selenium: 55 mcg. The 200 mcg dose in SELECT did not prevent cancer.
- Pygeum: now 0 mg. The old Prostan Plus had 100 mg; a Cochrane review of small, short trials found men were about twice as likely to report improvement.
The label says two capsules a day with about 300 ml of water; a bottle of 60 lasts a month.
The only reference on the sales page is a laboratory study written by staff of the saw palmetto supplier. It is not a human trial.
Quality & Testing
Our Transparency Score checks five things a buyer can verify. NuProstate (Prostan Plus) scores 2 out of 5.
- Label with doses published: yes. Every ingredient has an amount and standardisation.
- Identifiable company: no. The German site names Key Player Limited, Dubai Airport Freezone; the US site names only "NuProstate.com, Stanley Street, Hong Kong". The two sites disagree, and neither names a manufacturer.
- Refund terms in writing: yes. 10 calendar days from purchase, unused goods only.
- Independent testing shown: no. "Ingredients clinically tested" and "Made in the EU", with no lab or certificate.
- Study on the finished product: no.
Inconsistencies on the official site: the FAQ still lists pygeum, which is no longer in the capsule; the ingredient cards say willow bark where the label says willowherb; and the European page carries a US FDA disclaimer.
Fake "official" site. prostanplus.org presents itself as the official Prostan Plus site with a 60-day guarantee, but its buy buttons lead to the checkout of ProstaLite, a different product.
Correction. An earlier version of this review showed a 90-day guarantee, free shipping and pygeum and nettle root in the formula, and said saw palmetto can mask PSA results. The NIH's NCCIH says saw palmetto does not appear to affect PSA readings. We have corrected all of this.
Value for Money
Prices when we checked in September 2026:
- US site (NuProstate): $53.99 for 1 bottle, $107.98 for 3, $161.97 for 6.
- German site: €49.99 for 1 bottle, €99.98 for 3, €149.97 for 6.
At one bottle a month, that is $0.90 to $1.80 a day.
The return rule. The terms allow cancellation "within 10 calendar days from the date of purchase", with written notice first, and only for unused goods. They also state that EU law does not apply; the EU's standard for online purchases is 14 days from delivery. The German order form offers cash on delivery.
Listings on eBay and Amazon use the Prostan Plus name. We could not verify who sells them or what they contain.
Side Effects & Safety
- Saw palmetto is generally well tolerated, according to the NCCIH, and does not appear to affect PSA readings.
- Black pepper extract can raise blood levels of some medicines by slowing a liver enzyme; ask a pharmacist if you take regular medication.
- Delayed diagnosis is the main risk: taking a supplement instead of getting urinary symptoms checked.
The label excludes children and pregnant or breastfeeding women, and gives no drug-interaction warning. There is no clinical study on NuProstate or Prostan Plus itself.
Final Verdict
Our Verdict
Prostan Plus lives on as NuProstate, with a clearer label than most prostate formulas but weaker evidence than its marketing suggests. The rename removed pygeum, its most promising ingredient, and the main ingredients left have failed to beat placebo in large reviews. Returns are limited to 10 days for unopened bottles, and a fake official site sells a different product under its name. For urinary symptoms, start with a doctor's check and PSA test, then treatments with trial evidence.
