Saw Palmetto
Acts as a diuretic and urinary antiseptic. Also inhibits the production of dihydrotestosterone, a hormone that contributes to the enlargement of the prostate. It may also enhance sexual function.
Saw Palmetto is the best-known natural solution for maintaining prostate health and proper urinary function. Clinical studies verify the important prostate-supporting benefits of this herb.
Saw palmetto has been widely studied in Europe, where it's been used for decades. It inhibits the action of the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme that boosts production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This action is necessary to maintain overall prostate health. In a 1994 Belgium study, 305 men with prostate concerns were treated with 160 mg of Saw Palmetto twice daily for three months. At the conclusion of the study, researchers found that Saw Palmetto promotes prostate health and urinary function. (Prostate Factors has 500mg of Saw Palmetto per serving).

Nettle
Stinging nettle (urtica dioica) might be a pain for hikers and campers, but it's a key nutrient for good prostate health, because it can reduce the amount of free (active) testosterone circulating in the blood and help to inhibit aromatase, one of the enzymes responsible for testosterone synthesis.

Pygeum Africanum
Pygeum africanum also has a solid scientific pedigree. It contains a number of natural compounds called sterols - the most effective of which appears to be beta sitosterol - that help maintain prostate health. A multi-center study in Germany, France, and Austria found that two-thirds of men significantly reduced their night-time awakenings to urinate, and enhanced their urinary flow considerably.

Lycopene
Lycopene an Amazing Antioxidant for the Prostate...Lycopene is an antioxidant-a substance that can slow oxidation by neutralizing the free radicals that can oxidize, or damage, other molecules in the body. It is found naturally in fruits and vegetables like watermelon, pink grapefruit, guavas and tomatoes.
A 6-year study done at Harvard University involving 50,000 men revealed that those who ate foods high in lycopene were up to 45% less likely to develop prostate cancer. In another double-blind study, patients treated with lycopene had smaller prostates than an untreated control group.
And some cancer patients who received lycopene showed signs of regression and decreased malignancy. In other words, lycopene slowed the spread and growth of the cancer. Research is still ongoing in this area but there is mounting evidence that indicates lycopene may play a big part maintaining or even enhancing prostate health.

Zinc
Zinc plays a role in the prevention of prostate cancer and helps to maintain prostate health. Study after study suggests that Zinc helps your body heal faster and promotes a healthy immune system. But emerging evidence is also starting to show Zinc's usefulness in enhancing prostate health. How? Later in life, testosterone can undergo unhealthy changes that can harm your prostate. Zinc may be able to decrease the amount of this 'bad' testosterone your prostate absorbs.
To stay healthy, your prostate needs 10 times more Zinc than any other organ in your body. And since Zinc is required for normal testosterone and sperm production, it is also essential to a healthy sex life.

Pumpkin Seed Powder
Pumpkin Seed and preparations of crushed pumpkin seeds have been used for ages by both Native Americans and men in countries like Bulgaria and the Ukraine to support prostate health and promote proper urinary flow.There are theories, but to date, researchers aren't certain why pumpkin seeds aid in urinary health so effectively.
Pumpkin seed is a powerful antioxidant, and has been said to have subtle natural anti-inflammatory properties, too. Research suggests that the zinc, free fatty acids, vitamin E or phytosterols in pumpkin seed might account for its prostate health benefits. Or it could simply be all of these compounds combined that do the trick.
