How It Works

Pumpkin Seed

Pumpkin seeds are a rich source of zinc, which is essential for normal prostate function. The prostate gland contains the highest levels of zinc in the body. Pumpkin seeds also contain active compounds that support healthy prostate cell replication and may help ease symptoms associated with a growing prostate. Plus, pumpkin seeds are one of the best food sources of magnesium, which is crucial for energy production, metabolic functions, and the health of the heart, brain, bones, and kidneys.

Saw Palmetto

Saw palmetto fruit naturally supports prostate gland health. Saw palmetto is used primarily to support glandular tissues (especially the prostate gland) and to maintain optimal balance in hormone levels. Scientific research validates its use for supporting prostate health. Saw palmetto also supports a healthy urinary system, urine flow, and cleansing of irritants and toxins. Plus, saw palmetto is beneficial for immune and reproductive health and may support sexual desire.

Licorice

Licorice root has been a key part of many Chinese herbal formulas for thousands of years for providing respiratory, digestive and reproductive system support. Licorice root is also regarded as an adrenal/pituitary tonic. Licorice root has a reputation for helping the entire body maintain balance and for promoting well-being and vitality.

Black Cohosh

Black cohosh has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years to promote general health and overall wellness. Black cohosh supports the body's effort to balance hormone levels and help ease nervous tension. Black cohosh possesses mild estrogenic properties (phytoestrogens) and helps balance hormone levels by binding to estrogen receptor sites. Black cohosh can also inhibit 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that can stimulate prostate growth.

Gotu Kola

Gotu kola is a time-honored botanical that supports the circulatory system, better enabling the body to cope with stress. Ayurvedic medicine, the traditional medicine of India, considers gotu kola an adaptogen and nerve tonic that can be used for overall brain and nervous system support and to prevent aging. Gotu kola also promotes circulation and provides antioxidant protection against free radical damage.

Capsicum

Capsicum enhances circulation and helps promote blood flow in the extremities. Capsicum also provides antioxidant and immune system benefits. Capsicum contains the active ingredient, capsaicin, which has been shown to induce autophagy, a cellular process where the body removes damaged cells, potentially inhibiting the growth of unwanted cells. Plus, preliminary research suggests that capsicum may support kidney health by improving blood flow to the kidneys and promoting urine flow and sodium excretion.

Goldenseal

Goldenseal provides proven immune system support. Goldenseal root contains powerful alkaloids—berberine, hydrastine and canadine—that help the body maintain strong immunity. These constituents have been known to help support the mucous membranes that line the urinary tract. Research suggests that berberine may help prevent foreign invaders from sticking to the lining of the bladder and urethra. Plus, berberine has been shown to support gut health, which directly affects the immune system.

Ginger

Traditionally, ginger has helped with a laundry list of complaints, including cold, fever, joint discomfort, aches, cramps, nervous system support, oral health, circulatory health, plus indigestion, gas, nausea and vomiting. Ginger also helps soothe intestinal irritation and promotes a healthy inflammatory response. Plus, recent research suggests that ginger's antioxidant properties may help protect the kidneys from oxidative damage.

Lobelia

Lobelia offers natural components that support and calm the nervous system. Lobelia works as a universal relaxant. One of its key constituents, lobeline, acts in a way similar to nicotine, calming the nervous system by inhibiting the reuptake of dopamine (also known as the “feel-good” hormone).

Kelp

Kelp is a type of brown algae that is naturally rich in trace minerals, including potassium, iodine and zinc. Iodine is an essential trace mineral that supports glandular function and helps maintain healthy metabolism and energy levels. Kelp is particularly important to the thyroid, a gland acting as the body’s energy thermostat. Kelp's rich supply of nutrients supports healthy digestion and metabolism, immune function, and proper fluid balance, as it promotes general well-being.
