Nettle extract

Prostate researchers found that nettle compounds slow down or inhibit the process by which hormone-protein complex binds to prostate cell membranes. This characteristic, along with its anti-inflammatory benefits, may be its mechanism of action in benefiting BPH. Saw palmetto and nettle extracts are approved drugs in Germany for the treatment of BPH and may help healthy prostates remain healthy. Besides benefiting BPH, research has shown that nettle extract has an antiproliferative effect on prostate cancer cells.
