When I go to

http://www.webvitamins.com

and search for beta sitosteroal, I find among the search results two brand
name beta sitosterol supplments. They are

Source Naturals brand Phytosterol Complex- 180 Tablets w/340 mg Beta
Sitosterol per 3 tablets at a cost of $9.30 US per bottle

and

Natrol brand Beta Sitosterol - 60 Tablets w/120 mg Beta Sitosterol per
tablet at $3.55 US per bottle

With Source Natural Phytosterol Complex $9.30 US buys a 60 day supply of 340
mg/day. This is very reasonable, don't you think?

I found that using another supplement, brand name Prostatonin (with stinging
nettle and pygeum extracts), seemed to help increase the urine flow even
more than Beta Sitosterol alone. The supplement I now use, Prosta-Response,
has all the ingredients of the two supplements and more (many of which are
recommended by Roger Mason) although it provides only 60 mg of Beta S per
serving.

My stream is relatively consistent these days. I had been finding it
difficult to urinate, particularly after sex, and that problem is
considerably better these days.

I've already been to see a urologolist but have elected herbal treatment as
my first line of defense.

If there are any doctors reading, this is a note to you. There now appears
to be some backlash in the medical community against herbal or natural
medications that are sold as nutritional supplements. Instead of seeking
controls on them, I would simply advise M.D.'s to prescribe or suggest some
of these supplements to their patients as options for treatment with a full
explanation of their limitations (i.e., lack of controlled studies, etc.).

At the same time, you can still write prescriptions for prescription-only
medications if the natural remedies don't work or if the problem is too
severe for the natural remedies.
