The prostate gland is an important organ of the male reproductive system. It is located below the bladder and it is about the size of a walnut. The prostate is responsible for producing semen, the fluid that transports sperm. As men age, they become more likely to develop prostate health problems including enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BHP), and many other prostate conditions.

This product is a combination of vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, amino acids and other compounds formulated to promote healthy prostate function.

Boston researchers reported in the Journal of Cancer that men who showed low levels of beta-carotene in their blood could reduce the risk of prostate complications by as much as 32% by taking beta-carotene in supplement form every other day. Beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A by the organism. In addition to its supplement form, beta-carotene can also be found in fruits and vegetables such as peaches, apricots, carrots, squash, yams, spinach, broccoli, collard or mustard greens.

Men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) may have lower levels of vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) than men without BPH. The role of vitamin E in cases of BPH and prostatitis is not well studied but the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties may help people suffering with these conditions.

Concentrations of zinc in the prostate is higher than any other soft tissue in the organism. Zinc is an important component for DNA synthesis, immune function, and antioxidant activity. A large number of publications support the protective role of zinc and prostate health.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, saw palmetto berry tea was commonly recommended by herbalists for a variety of urinary tract ailments in men. The liposterolic (fat-soluble) extract of saw palmetto provides concentrated amounts of free fatty acids and sterols. In test tubes, saw palmetto promotes the inhibition of growth factors and inflammatory substances that may contribute to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Studies have shown that beta sitosterol is effective in promoting the reduction of symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Beta sitosterol is one of
a group of organic compounds found in plants that may also promote the decrease of blood levels of cholesterol. The powdered bark of pygeum was used for relief of urinary disorders in African herbal medicine. European scientists were so impressed with information of pygeum’s activity, they began laboratory investigations on the active constituents in the bark. This led to the development of the extract used today for prostate health.

The polysaccharides (complex sugars) and lectins of nettle are probably the main active constituents. Test tube studies have suggested that the leaves promote anti-inflammatory activity. This is caused by nettle preventing the organism from making inflammatory chemicals known as prostaglandins. Nettle’s root affects hormones and proteins that carry sex hormones such as testosterone or estrogen. This may explain why nettle benefits men who have benign prostatic hyperplasia.

At the end of the nineteenth century, pumpkin seeds were used for urinary tract conditions and problems with gastritis. Pumpkin seeds contain several major groups of active constituents: essential fatty acids, amino acids, phytosterols, minerals, and vitamins. Pumpkin seed oil has been effectively used with saw palmetto to promote the reduction of symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Amino acids are needed for maintaining normal prostate function. Studies of
L-Glycine, L-Alanine, and L-Glutamine have shown to support the relief of symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Men taking these amino acids experienced a reduction in nighttime urination, reduced urgency and frequency, and relief of delayed urination. Preparations made with buchu leaves have a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine for urinary tract complications. Buchu is used by herbalists to promote urinary tract and prostate health.

Considered a soothing herb for the urinary mucous membranes, queen of meadow is a diuretic herb used for many urinary tract problems. It works well on the kidneys, bladder, prostate gland, uterus, and liver. Queen of meadow relaxes, stimulates, and tones the pelvic viscera and mucous membranes.

Most herbalists are aware of the value of cayenne as one of the most useful herbs in the herb kingdom. It has several applications and works as a catalyst while increasing the effectiveness of other herbs when used with it.

Research suggests that raw prostate extract may improve the function of the prostate gland. The objective is to stimulate or restore the activity of aged or diseased cells with the intake of natural cell stimulators found in bovine prostate tissue.
