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
