Saw Palmetto is considered the leading natural treatment for BPH. It works on shrinking the prostate gland, has anti-inflammatory properties and increases urinary flow. Pygeum reduces the levels of hormones in the prostate gland that are believed to contribute to its swelling. Nettle Root also helps to slow or stop the swelling of the prostate gland. Phytosterols reduce cholesterol levels and also support prostate health. Soy – both as Isoflavones and as a protein isolate – are believed to help reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer. Pumpkin seed. The high zinc content in pumpkin seed is believed to promote prostate health. Green Tea leaf contains antioxidants, specifically catechins, which reduce a man’s risks of developing BPH. Pomegranate is said to slow the progression of prostate cancer and stabilize PSA levels. Lycopene – usually from tomatoes – is associated with fighting prostate cancer as well as reducing the lower urinary tract symptoms typical of BPH. Bioperine has a strong anti-prostate cancer action. Ginger is an anti-inflammatory that is also said to inhibit prostate cancer cell growth. Trikatu, a mixture of peppers, that is said to help relieve the symptoms of BPH.

Our Final Review of FutureBiotics ProstAdvanced
We were pleased to see that the capsule used in the manufacturing of this product is wholly vegetarian, making ProstAdvanced suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Many of the ingredients used in its formulation have been clinically proven to boost healthy prostate function but we were concerned that the exact proportions of these ingredients were not specified. This makes it hard to evaluate just how potent a product ProstAdvanced is and whether you would be getting value for money.
The returns policy, however, is quite generous when compared to that of competitive products.
