TLDR Sabal and Urtica extract works as well as finasteride for treating BPH, with fewer side effects.
A combination of Sabal and Urtica extract is as effective as finasteride in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in patients at Alken stage I-II, according to multiple studies. Both treatments showed significant improvement in symptoms, but the combination extract had fewer reported adverse events and a better safety profile. The combination extract was found to be a viable alternative to finasteride, with a faster onset of action and more effective in reducing irritative symptoms. Overall, the combination extract is a promising treatment option for BPH.
