HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Prostate Support by ProCaps Laboratories
Four independent checks of what is known — a summary of the available information, not a grade of the product itself.
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
The stated purpose hasn't been mapped to our evidence data yet.
Why this rating?
- We haven't mapped this product's purpose to our evidence data yet — it'll be graded on the next content refresh.
Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.
Why this rating?
- The label discloses an exact amount for 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
- No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.
The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.
Why this rating?
- 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Lycopene, Pumpkin, Saw Palmetto.
- The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
- Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; lithium.
- For scale: 175 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.
Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.
Why this rating?
- We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
- Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
- General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
- Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

General Statements
Andrew Lessman’s PROSTATE SUPPORT contains a high potency, standardized extract of the Saw Palmetto berry. Several clinical studies have demonstrated that Saw Palmetto is beneficial in supporting the normal functioning of the prostate gland, and our Prostate Support provides the recommended daily levels (320 mg) in a single capsule. As in the most reliable medical research studies, our high potency extract of the Saw Palmetto berry is standardized to deliver 85-95% total fatty acids. We also include 1 mg (1,000 mcg) of the powerful anti-oxidant Lycopene, since it is the most abundant and concentrated anti-oxidant carotenoid present in the prostate gland. Research indicates that Lycopene’s anti-oxidant benefits help protect the prostate from oxidative free radicals and provide support for normal prostate function. We then add Pumpkin Seed and Flaxseed oils to help optimize these ingredients’ benefits. Pumpkin seeds have been used historically to provide nourishing support to the prostate and Flaxseed oil provides high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids to support prostate tissues. Most men in the United States have only recently discovered the existence and fragile nature of their prostate and our new Prostate Support formula offers a comprehensive, clinically proven, active ingredient to provide the delicate tissues of the prostate gland with the healthy support they require, and it does so without the additives, solvents, or chemical instability typical of ordinary prostate formulas.
