How It Works

Zinc

Zinc is essential for maintaining prostate health and function. More zinc is found in the body than any other trace element except for iron, and more zinc is concentrated in the prostate than any other soft tissue in the body. Zinc nutritionally supports the prostate gland and helps maintain healthy testosterone levels. Zinc is also key to hundreds of important functions, including sugar and protein metabolism, DNA formation, energy production, and immune system function. Plus, zinc acts as a co-factor for important enzymes that contribute to the proper functioning of the antioxidant defense system.

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.

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.

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.

Lycopene

Lycopene has been shown to have a protective effect on prostate gland function. Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant carotenoid found in tomatoes. Lycopene helps to neutralize damaging free radicals inside the body and maintain the structure and integrity of cellular makeup. Lycopene also supports gut health and a healthy inflammatory response.

Stinging Nettle

Stinging nettle root has been traditionally used, and is still used, for urinary problems associated with a growing prostate. Stinging nettle root is used widely in Europe to help reduce overactive urges to urinate and to promote healthy urinary flow and emptying of the bladder. Stinging nettle root contains compounds such as lignans that may help protect the prostate by preventing sex hormones from binding to receptor sites in the prostate gland. Stinging nettle is also known to promote a healthy inflammatory response.
