Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), defined as the enlargement or swelling of the prostate gland, is a common health issue among men. Over 50% of men aged 50 and older suffer from BPH, and nearly 100% of men over 80 are expected to develop this condition. Hormone balance, inflammation, and nutritional factors influence prostate enlargement and BPH symptoms.

Androgens (male hormones) play a crucial role in BPH development, particularly dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the active metabolic derivative of testosterone, which causes the prostate gland to enlarge. Beta-sitosterol, a plant sterol, supports healthy prostate function by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase responsible for converting testosterone to DHT. A six-month placebo-controlled trial found that men with BPH who supplemented with 130 mg of beta-sitosterol daily significantly improved their international prostate symptom scores (IPSS) by 51%, compared to 19% for the placebo group. Supplementation also enhanced quality of life, peak urinary flow rate, and post-void residual urinary volume.

Pygeum (Pygeum africanum) bark and stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) root extracts are additional beta-sitosterol sources used successfully to reduce BPH symptoms like weak urine flow and incomplete voiding. A review of 18 controlled clinical trials found that men taking Pygeum extract were more than twice as likely to experience improved BPH symptoms compared to placebo groups. Overall, Pygeum reduced nocturia by 19%, residual urine volume by 24%, and increased peak urine flow by 23%.

A six-month placebo-controlled trial showed that 81% of BPH patients who supplemented with 360 mg of stinging nettle extract daily had improved lower urinary tract symptoms, compared to 16% of the placebo group. Patients experienced a 77% improvement in peak urine flow rates and a modest reduction in prostate size. Vitamin D3 intake is associated with a lower rate of BPH due to its role in inhibiting hormonal aspects of BPH development. Preclinical trials have shown that vitamin D3 supplementation can also reduce existing BPH cell growth.

Chronic inflammation contributes to BPH development and may progress it to a disease stage. Ultimate Prostate combines multiple antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredients, including lycopene, selenium, rosemary extract, and rye pollen. Carnosol and carnosic acid, the main antioxidant compounds in rosemary, have shown anticarcinogenic effects on prostate cells in animal studies.

Pollen extract contains natural anti-inflammatory compounds that inhibit the synthesis of signaling molecules and mediators of inflammation. Supplementation has been shown to improve quality of life and reduce pain in patients with chronic pelvic pain syndrome and chronic prostate inflammation.

A diet rich in fruits and vegetables provides essential nutrients like lycopene and zinc, which are crucial for overall prostate health. Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, are important sources of anti-carcinogenic compounds like indole-3-carbinol and sulforaphane, which help protect against prostate disease.

BioPerine black pepper extract, standardized to 95% piperine, is an active alkaloid that enhances the bioavailability of nutrients that may otherwise be difficult to absorb.
