200mg SAW PALMETTO per serving
Applied Nutrition Prostate Support is a powder-format prostate health complex combining botanical actives with a full B vitamin and mineral panel in a 10g daily serving. Each serving delivers 350mg of pumpkin seed powder, 300mg of dandelion root extract, 250mg of nettle leaf extract, 200mg of saw palmetto extract, 50mg each of CoQ10, turmeric extract and lycopene extract, alongside zinc 14mg, selenium 55ug and a full B vitamin complex including B6 1.4mg, niacin 16mg, folic acid 200ug and B12 2.5ug. The 300g tub provides 30 servings.
Saw palmetto extract at 200mg is the most studied botanical for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) symptom management. It inhibits 5-alpha-reductase, reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT, which is the androgen primarily responsible for prostate cell proliferation. Nettle leaf extract at 250mg inhibits sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) binding, contributing to DHT regulation via a complementary mechanism. Pumpkin seed powder at 350mg provides zinc, phytosterols and cucurbitin, which have been associated with normal urinary flow in male health research.
Lycopene at 50mg is a fat-soluble carotenoid concentrated naturally in prostate tissue, with epidemiological data linking higher lycopene intake to prostate health markers. Dandelion root at 300mg supports kidney function and normal urine production. Zinc at 14mg is EFSA-authorised to contribute to normal fertility and reproduction and to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels. Selenium at 55ug contributes to normal spermatogenesis. Vitamin B6 at 1.4mg contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity.
Prostate Support suits men aged 40 and over who want daily botanical and nutritional support for urinary function and prostate health, particularly those with early-stage BPH symptoms or a family history. It is not a pharmaceutical treatment and is not a substitute for medical assessment of prostate conditions. Applied Nutrition positions this as a specialist daily health product rather than a performance supplement.
