WHAT DOES IT DO?
According to the manufacturer:
Reprinted with permission of Life Extension.
"A number of normal biological events in aging men affect prostate function and structure. Saw palmetto has been shown to interfere with DHT activity in the prostate, inhibit alpha-adrenergic receptor activity (to support normal urinary flow), and help control inflammatory actions in the prostate gland.14-16
Super Saw Palmetto/Nettle Root with Beta-Sitosterol combines the super critical saw palmetto CO2 extract with a methanolic nettle root extract and boron to support a healthy prostate.13-16,28-31,41-50
This saw palmetto extract has been standardized to contain 85% free fatty acids and sterols. Aqueous 20% methanolic stinging nettle extract contains no residual methane. The phytosterol complex contains a natural ratio of concentrated plant sterols derived from vegetable and seed oils such as soybean, rapeseed, sunflower seed, and corn."
