Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that affects nearly half of men over 50. As the prostate grows, it can press on the urethra and bladder, leading to symptoms like frequent urination, weak stream, urgency, and disrupted sleep from nighttime trips to the bathroom.

While prescription medications are available, many men prefer natural solutions that offer symptom relief without unwanted side effects. Saw palmetto oil extract is one of the most widely researched and clinically recommended options.

How Saw Palmetto Supports Prostate Health

Saw palmetto extract, derived from the berries of the Serenoa repens plant, contains bioactive fatty acids and phytosterols that help:

● reduce inflammation in the prostate
● inhibit 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme linked to prostate growth
● relax smooth muscle in the bladder neck and prostate

These combined effects may ease urinary symptoms such as urgency, incomplete emptying, and frequent nighttime urination.†

However, not all saw palmetto is created equal. Many supplements on the market use low-potency berry powder, which lacks the fatty acids and sterols shown to deliver clinical results. The clinically studied form is saw palmetto oil, also called lipidosterolic extract, standardized to 80–95% fatty acids and sterols.

USPlus®, the saw palmetto oil used in Flomentum®, is the only American extract that meets the rigorous European Pharmacopeia standards for purity and potency. To match the results seen in clinical studies, a supplement should contain 320 mg of this lipidosterolic extract—not unproven berry powder or diluted blends.†

What Makes Flomentum Different?

Flomentum is the only prostate supplement in the U.S. that contains USPlus, a trademark of Valensa,  a supercritical CO₂-extracted saw palmetto oil that delivers the full clinical dose. It is also the only U.S. saw palmetto supplement verified by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), confirming its purity, potency, and consistency.

Flomentum contains no unnecessary fillers, binders, or artificial ingredients and is manufactured in a cGMP-compliant, FDA-registered facility.

The Small Variation Between Permixon and USPlus

Both USPlus, used in Flomentum, and Permixon, widely used in Europe, are clinically studied lipidosterolic extracts of saw palmetto. Each has been shown to help reduce symptoms of BPH, such as weak stream, frequent urination, and nocturia. They share similar mechanisms of action—supporting healthy DHT levels and reducing inflammation‡.

While Permixon, owned by Pierre Fabre Médicament, is extracted using hexane and approved for use in European markets, USPlus is produced using supercritical CO₂ extraction and is the only U.S. saw palmetto extract that meets the same European Pharmacopeia standards for purity and potency§.

This means that Flomentum delivers the same clinically aligned benefits as the most researched extract in Europe—now with U.S.-based quality control and USP verification.

Final thoughts

Men using Flomentum have reported reduced nighttime urination, improved flow, and better bladder emptying. In studies of lipidosterolic saw palmetto extract, men experienced meaningful reductions in symptom scores and improved sleep and comfort†. These outcomes were achieved with a side effect profile similar to placebo‡.

BPH may be common, but you don’t have to live with constant disruptions and a groggy morning. A high-quality, once-daily supplement like Flomentum offers clinically supported prostate and urinary health benefits—without the compromises of synthetic medications‡.

Before starting any supplement, talk to your doctor, especially if you are taking other medications or managing long-term health conditions.

†Clinical strength is defined as 320 mg of standardized saw palmetto oil extract, the dose shown to be effective in clinical studies.

‡Flomentum has proven comparability to the leading clinically studied saw palmetto extract product in Europe, which has sexual side effects similar to placebo.

§These claims are based on Flomentum’s demonstrated comparability to a leading European saw palmetto herbal product as defined by the European Medicines Agency, which is recognized as safe and effective in over 20 published studies

If you frequently find yourself rushing to the restroom or waking up multiple times at night, you're definitely not alone. Urinary frequency in men is a common issue, often linked to prostate health. Getting familiar with this connection can help you find relief and take control of your symptoms.

Why Prostate Health Influences Urinary Frequency

Your prostate is a small gland situated just below your bladder, surrounding the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body. With age, it's common for the prostate to grow larger, a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. Yale Medicine highlights that around half of men between 51 and 60 deal with BPH to some extent, and the risk increases as men get older.

An enlarged prostate can squeeze your urethra, making it difficult for urine to flow normally. This can lead to several uncomfortable symptoms like:

• Frequent bathroom trips, especially at night
• Difficulty starting urination
• A weak or intermittent urine stream
• Feeling as though your bladder isn't fully emptied

These symptoms can be frustrating and disruptive to daily life, but recognizing them as common can help you take the next step toward managing them.

Evaluating Your Symptoms

Clearly understanding your symptoms is key to effective communication with your doctor. To help you with this, we've created a straightforward questionnaire at Flomentum. This tool helps you document your urinary symptoms clearly, making discussions with your doctor easier.

It's important to note that this questionnaire is not meant to replace professional medical advice or diagnosis. Always consult your doctor to assess your individual condition.

Natural Options for Managing Frequent Urination

Fortunately, natural solutions exist for supporting prostate health and managing symptoms like frequent urination. One of the most well-researched remedies is saw palmetto extract, widely used in Europe and North America.

Flomentum offers a clinical-strength† saw palmetto oil extract, specifically designed to support healthy prostate function. Each dose contains 320 mg of standardized saw palmetto oil extract, matching the effective dose identified in clinical studies.† This makes it a reliable natural option for men experiencing urinary frequency due to prostate enlargement.

Advantages of Saw Palmetto Oil Extract

It's essential to know that not all saw palmetto products are equally effective. Research strongly supports oil extracts for their purity and potency. Flomentum's saw palmetto oil has been proven comparable to leading European herbal products endorsed by the European Medicines Agency, validated through over 20 published studies.§ Additionally, studies have found minimal sexual side effects, comparable to a placebo, providing further reassurance.‡

Practical Tips for Dealing with Frequent Urination

• In addition to supplements, certain lifestyle changes can help reduce symptoms:
• Limit fluid intake in the evening to minimize nighttime urination.
• Avoid diuretics such as caffeine and alcohol, which can worsen symptoms.
• Practice bladder training by gradually extending intervals between bathroom visits.
• Engage in regular exercise, which promotes overall prostate and bladder health.
  
  

Take Control of Your Prostate Health

Frequent urination can be frustrating, but it doesn't need to dictate your daily routine. By understanding your symptoms, discussing them openly with your doctor, and exploring natural remedies such as Flomentum's saw palmetto oil extract, you can manage your prostate health effectively and comfortably.
