Q-Urol is a nutritional supplement formulated to maintain prostate health.*

Q-Urol Complex is a proprietary combination of clinically proven ingredients including Quercetin, a bioflavonoid with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties¹, Saw Palmetto, Bee Pollen extract, Pumpkin Seed, Bromelain and Papain, to aid digestion, as well as zinc. Q-Urol combines each of these compounds into a single tablet form.*

About a year and a half ago, I suspected that I had BPH, but after visiting my doctor found out that my symptoms were not due to an enlargement of my prostate.  I was diagnosed with Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome and my doctor put me on alpha blockers.  After several months of using the alpha blockers, I continued to have chronic pain in my lower back and penile area.  I spoke to a colleague who was also suffering from CPPS and he recommended Q-Urol.  I spoke to my doctor about the product and he recommended supplementing Q-Urol with the alpha blocker.  Q-Urol worked extremely well and my pain has reduced significantly.  Thank you! John W.

Frequently Asked Questions About Q-Urol

Q and A by our Consulting Medical Advisory Board

What is Q-Urol?

Q-Urol is a nutritional supplement formulated to maintain prostate health which may address the symptoms associated with Chronic Prostatitis, a persistent state of inflammation in the prostate gland in men. Q-Urol contains clinically proven ingredients including quercetin, bee pollen extract, saw palmetto, pumpkin seed, the minerals zinc and calcium as well as papain/bromelain to aid digestion. This proprietary formulation (patent pending) is manufactured by Farr Laboratories, LLC. Please refer questions on its manufacture and composition to Farr Laboratories, LLC.

Why Q-Urol to address symptoms associated with Chronic Prostatitis?

Q-Urol has been rigorously tested using the highest medical standard and is one of the most effective natural supplements to support prostate health. Randomized placebo-controlled trials evaluating quercetin, saw palmetto and bee pollen extract have demonstrated a high degree of success. Pumpkin seed and zinc have been reported to support prostate health. Q-Urol combines all these compounds into a single tablet formula.

What indications support use of Q-Urol?
We suggest that physicians perform localizing urine cultures (and if possible expressed prostatic secretions) in all men prior to therapy. This test can be as simple as culturing a specimen of urine taken after the physician performs a prostate massage. We recommend that the physician sterilize any infection that is found in the prostate by using an appropriate antibiotic for at least four weeks. In men with extensive inflammation of the prostate, some physicians will often choose a course of antibiotics for patients if the patient has not been so treated before. Men with no evidence of active infection and those who have failed treatment with antibiotics are ideal candidates for the prostate supportive benefits of Q-Urol.

How should you use Q-Urol?
We recommend 1-2 tablets taken in the morning and evening. If this is successful, many people can then take maintenance dose of fewer tablets per day. If the patient has no symptom improvement after 8-12weeks, the product is unlikely to help him and other options should be discussed with a health care professional.

How long will it take for Q-Urol to work?
Some people notice improvement after the first few doses. Others find that they must take it for 8-12 weeks to see any benefit.

Are there any contraindications to using Q-Urol?
There is a theoretical risk that use of quercetin (which is found in Q-Urol) will interfere with the action of quinolone antibiotics (e.g. Cipro®, Floxin®, Levaquin®). Therefore, don't take these antibiotics with Q-Urol.

What side effects have you seen?
Q-Urol is generally well tolerated by most users. Some users have reported a slight tingling in the extremities shortly after their first dose.

Q-Urol has helped me, but I still have urinary symptoms.
Some men find that Q-Urol is more effective for their pain than for their urinary symptoms. We have found that combining Q-Urol with an alpha blocker (e.g. FloMax®) is a helpful approach for these men.

Can I combine Q-Urol with other natural products?
We don't recommend it. The product is specifically designed to be the most effective prostate supplement available and already contains the best natural compounds and minerals that have proven support prostate health, which may help address the symptoms associated with Chronic Prostatitis. There is no way of knowing how ingredients in other nutritional supplements or treatments will interact with Q-Urol. Even if the other products are considered "safe", they may interfere with the absorption of Q-Urol, or block its actions in other ways.

Q-Urol has helped me feel better. Do I have to keep taking it?
We recommend staying on a maintenance dose of one tablet per day for an additional 2-3 months. Some users find they can stop taking the product without recurrence of symptoms while others find they need to stay on the maintenance or even full dose to remain symptom-free.

Would you recommend taking all these ingredients separately?
Theoretically you should derive as much benefit from taking all these preparations separately, but unfortunately many brands do not have adequate batch-to-batch quality control such that one bottle works one month but another bottle doesn't work the next month. Other quercetin brands commonly combine quercetin with vitamin C. The high doses of vitamin C delivered with the quercetin can severely acidify the urine, making symptoms worse in some men. Most importantly, taking all these preparations separately will cost much more than taking only Q-Urol.
