1. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is nonmalignant (noncancerous) enlargement of the prostate gland, a common occurrence in older men. BPH symptoms include going often, straining, urgency, stopping or starting, weak stream, incomplete emptying, and frequently waking up at night to go.
2. Serenoa repens: according to the researches of Serenoa repens, it is used widely for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) that has been shown to bind alpha(1)-adrenergic, muscarinic and 1,4-dihydropyridine (1,4-DHP) calcium channel antagonist receptors. Its active components are lauric acid, oleic acid, myristic acid, and linoleic acid. It also has been shown to inhibit prostate 5a-reductase.
3. Chinese Yam: it is the rhizome of Dioscorea opposita Thunb., family Dioscoreaceae. It can invigorate the spleen, stomach and the kidney and preserve the essence.
4. Radix Acanthopanacis Senticosus: it can expel wind and dampness, strengthen the tendons and bones and benefit vital energy. It also has the anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects.
5. Panax notoginseng leaves:
The active component is notoginseng triterpenes in Panax
notoginseng stalks and leaves. The novel anti-tumor dammarane triterpene sapogenin was isolated from the total hydrolyzed saponins extracted from the leaves of Panax notoginseng.
6. Red Sage Root: it has curative effects in activating the blood and dissolving the bruise, cooling blood and detumescence. It promotes blood circulation, which helps treat irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea and amenorrhea; removes heat from the blood (to relieve inflammation); and tranquilizes the mind. Tanshinone IIA inhibits human breast cancer and colon adenocarcinoma cells through increased Bax to Bcl-xL ratios.

1. Ingredien: Pumpkin; Lycopene; Antrodia camphorata mycelium; Serenoa repens; Chinese Yam; Radix Acanthopanacis Senticosus; Panax notoginseng leaves; Red Sage Root. 2. Prostate Benefit Herbs: it involves diverse extracts of herbal materials. It strengthens bladder urethral, the peristalsis of prostate smooth muscle and the function of prostate hormone and maintains the normal function of urination. 3. Pumpkin: Pumpkin seeds contain several major groups of active constituents: essential fatty acids, amino acids, phytosterols (e.g. beta-sitosterol) minerals, and vitamins. Other major constituents include mucilaginous carbohydrates and minerals. Pumpkin seed extracts can improve the function of the bladder and urethra. This might partially account for BPH symptom relief. 4. Lycopene: Lycopene is a carotenoid present in human serum and skin as well as the liver, adrenal glands, lungs, prostate and colon. Lycopene has been found to possess antioxidant and antiproliferative properties. In prostate studies, lycopene was proved to inhibit disease progression in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia. 5. Antrodia camphorata (AC) mycelium: its active components, basidiomes, have been used for the treatment of food and drug intoxication, diarrhea, abdominal pain, hypertension, skin itching and cancer. According to studies of AC, it can be used to treat prostate cancer.
