The guy behind the company- "Mirko Beljanski has published 133 peer-reviewed research publications, many of which are available online at http://www.PubMed.gov. More on him and "the Beljanski approach" here: http://www.beljanski.com/eng/index.htmlDirectly inspired by Mirko Beljanski‘s 50 years of research in biochemistry and molecular biology, Prostabel® is an innovative and all natural blend of Pao Pereira (Pau Pereira) and Rauwolfia vomitoria extracts (2) that specifically promotes the health of prostate cells, an essential factor in maintaining normal prostate function.*
Pao pereira supports the body’s natural defense system, creating the conditions for normal physiological functioning and, to some extent, reinforcing the immune system’s natural ability to eliminate or neutralize undesirable cells (3).* Rauwolfia vomitoria, by combating the interference of aggressive and toxic substances, has a protective effect on cells, promoting healthy cellular regulation, particularly when the hormonal system is challenged (4). *
They do have one clinical trial going on at the moment: http://www.natural-source.com/engl/research_phase1.php (their one using POM is still open..if anyone knows of anyone..)
More on that trial: http://www.holisticurology.columbia.edu ... tabel.htmlWe are pleased to share with you that a clinical trial sponsored by Natural Source International, Ltd. focusing on men with elevated PSA levels is currently underway at Columbia University. Under the direction of Aaron Katz, MD, Director of the Center for Holistic Urology at Columbia University, and a well-known pioneer in the field of natural treatment for prostate problems, the clinical trial is measuring the efficacy of Prostabel® in lowering PSA levels.
This trial is for men with negative prostate biopsy and elevated PSA, with the goal of helping men lower their PSA levels.
I did do a search for the active ingredients, and they are available elsewhere. I haven't looked into the quality issues, or even price comparisons. Heck..I'm still not done reading the info they sent, or what all is on their webpages
