WHAT DOES IT DO?
According to the manufacturer:

"Ultra Natural Prostate formula contains the most scientifically substantiated nutrients to help protect the prostate gland and maintain its healthy function.
Standardized lignans from flax and the Norway spruce trees are the most recent addition to this formula. These lignans convert to enterolactone in the intestine, which is then absorbed into the bloodstream. Enterolactone has demonstrated anti-estrogen and anti-DHT effects that are of particular importance for the aging prostate gland.4-7
The eight other active ingredients in Ultra Natural Prostate formula are:
5-LOXIN Boswellia extract. Published studies show that normal aging and poor diet cause increasing levels of a dangerous enzyme (5-lipoxygenase),8,9 which can affect prostate cells. 5-LOXIN is a patented extract from the Boswellia plant that has been shown to suppress 5-lipoxygenase and other pro-inflammatory factors.10-12
Nettle root extract (Urtica dioica). Testosterone converts to estrogen at higher rates as men age. Prostate cells are sensitive to estrogens growth stimulatory effects. Nettle helps support prostate cells against excess estrogen levels.13
Saw palmetto extract. 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
Pygeum. Normal aging results in levels of certain prostaglandins increasing in the prostate gland. Pygeum africanum extract helps suppress prostaglandin E2, keeping the prostate gland placid and promoting prostate comfort.17 Beta-sitosterol is the most biologically active constituent of pygeum.18-23 A standardized pygeum extract plus beta-sitosterol from other plant sources is included in this formula to help maintain healthy prostate structure.
Cernitin. This European pollen extract has been shown to relax smooth muscle tone of the urethra, counteract DHT, and help regulate inflammatory reactions.24-27
Boron. In addition to helping protect bones, this mineral has been shown to slow elevation of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) seemingly a result of borons positive effect on the presence of protein-degrading enzymes in the prostate gland.28-31
Lycopene. This carotenoid associated with the tomatos red color helps maintain healthy DNA gene function in prostate cells.32-40
Rosemary extract (Rosmarinus officinalis). This extract exhibits potent antioxidant and fluid regulating activities.41-43
Ultra Natural Prostate formula provides scientifically validated standardized plant extracts that have been shown to promote healthy prostate function. No other prostate protection formula provides such a broad array of nutrients to support the multiple factors involved in maintaining a healthy prostate gland."
