In depth
About this supplement
What Is Prostate Support?
A men's formula carried in oil rather than powder. It pairs two nutrients, vitamin B-6 and zinc, with pumpkin seed oil, stinging nettle root, saw palmetto berry and tomato lycopene. The oil is the bulk of it, at 1,000 mg per serving.
How It Works in the Body
The two nutrients do ordinary enzyme work. Vitamin B-6 becomes pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, the form that acts as a cofactor in well over a hundred reactions, most of them in amino acid metabolism. Zinc is a catalytic or structural part of hundreds of human enzymes. The plant materials are fat-soluble: pumpkin seed oil is mostly linoleic and oleic acid, nettle root carries sterols and lignans, saw palmetto berry gives free fatty acids, and lycopene is a red carotenoid.
What It Supports
- Zinc: Acts as a catalytic or structural cofactor in hundreds of human enzymes, including those of protein synthesis and DNA repair.
- Vitamin B-6: Is required for the enzymes that build and break down amino acids, and for making heme.
- Pumpkin seed oil: Linoleic acid, the parent omega-6 fatty acid the body cannot make itself, leads its fatty acid profile.
- Lycopene: Contributes to the carotenoid pool the body carries in circulating lipids and in tissue.
- Nettle root: Carries sterols, lignans and scopoletin, a chemistry quite unlike the leaf most people know.
Who It May Suit
Men who would rather take one combined formula than four separate plant capsules, and people who want lycopene from tomato alongside zinc and vitamin B-6. The shell is bovine gelatin with beeswax, so this one does not suit a vegetarian or vegan diet.
Good To Know
A serving is two softgels, and the oil base carries the fat-soluble ingredients. Talk with your provider before use if you take an anticoagulant, hormone therapy or an oral contraceptive, since saw palmetto has been reported to interact with each. Mention any other zinc you take, as a sustained high zinc intake works against copper status.

FAQ
Common questions
What is it?
A softgel holding six items: vitamin B-6 and zinc as nutrients, and pumpkin seed oil, stinging nettle root extract, saw palmetto berry extract and tomato lycopene as plant material. Pumpkin seed oil is the bulk of it at 1,000 mg per serving, and that oil is what makes a softgel the sensible format.
How does it work?
The nutrients act as enzyme cofactors. Vitamin B-6 becomes pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, which works in amino acid chemistry, and zinc sits in hundreds of enzymes as a catalytic or structural part. The plant materials are fat-soluble compounds: fatty acids, sterols, lignans, scopoletin and the carotenoid lycopene.
What makes this formula different?
It combines two nutrients with four plant materials in one oil-based softgel rather than pairing herbs alone. The lycopene is LYC-O-MATO, a natural tomato extract, and the zinc is the gluconate form. Weights run from 1,000 mg of pumpkin seed oil down to 3 mg of lycopene per serving.
Who is it for?
Men who want several plant materials and two nutrients in one item instead of four, and anyone who prefers an oil-based softgel to dry capsules. It is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans: the shell is bovine gelatin and beeswax is used inside it.
What should I know before taking it?
Tell your provider what else you take. Talk with them before use if you use an anticoagulant, hormone therapy or an oral contraceptive, since saw palmetto has been reported to interact with all three. Mention other zinc-containing products too, because a sustained high zinc intake works against copper status over time.
