Is Cernilton pill effective in the treatment of an enlarged prostate gland?
As of 2009, Cernilton studies have been limited and of short duration. It appears that Cernilton may offer mild improvements to men with an enlarged prostate gland.

Cernilton for BPH therapy
A comparative study on different doses of cernilton for preventing the clinical progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Zhonghua Nan Ke Xue. 2008 June. Department of Urology, Huadong Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai 200040, China.
To compare the efficacy and safety of different doses of cernilton in preventing the clinical progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). A total of 240 BPH patients with the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) >7 were equally allocated to an experimental and a control group and treated with oral cernilton (Prostate), the former at the dose of 750 mg, the latter at 375 mg, both twice a day for 4 years. Changes, of IPSS, prostate volume, postvoid residual urine, maximum flow rate (Qmax), prostate specific antigen (PSA), the incidence of urine retention and the rate of surgery were compared between the two groups after the treatment. No toxic and side effects were observed. Long-term administration of cernilton at the dose of 750 mg may achieve faster and more obvious efficacy than at 375 mg in improving symptomatic BPH and preventing the clinical progression of BPH, with no side effects.

Cernilton side effects
Cernilton appears to be well tolerated with few side effects.

Cernilton questions
Q. I am more than slightly confused why this website solicits via specific keywords cernilton, and appears to tout the benefits of cernilton (true rye flower pollen), while the product contains none of the same? Is there some logical (read medical or scientific) reason for the omission.
   A. Our website has research on different supplements, and on some pages we have products that refer to the actual product we discuss, and on other pages we discuss the research on a product but we don't carry it.
