Prostate Protect is a complex herbal formula with standardized 5-Loxin (30% AKBA) Boron and standardized Beta-Sitosterol together with herbs traditionally used to support a healthy male urogenital system. BPH is the most common prostate disease. BPH usually starts after the age of 40 years and is more common in older men; it affects nearly all men at some time in their lives.* Prostate Protect contains Boswellia (Frankincense). Published studies show that normal aging and poor diet cause levels of a dangerous enzyme (5-lipoxygenase) to increase, which can affect prostate cells. (1) Extracts from the boswellia plant, has been shown to suppress 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and other proinflammatory factors. (2,3,4) Prostate Protect has been designed to support prostate health and support management of associated signs of BPH.*
