Blackmores Prostate Health Formula has been developed with a range of
antioxidants, vitamins and minerals providing a comprehensive approach to
the maintenance of prostate health. Research supports the use of the
ingredients in Blackmores Prostate Health Formula for antioxidant protection
of prostate cells from free radical damage, and for the relief from symptoms
of medically diagnosed benign prostatic hypertrophy (benign enlargement of
the prostate).

radical damage.
- Provides relief from the symptoms of medically diagnosed benign
enlargement of the prostate (BPH), including frequent day and night
urination, difficulty in starting and finishing urination and a weak
urinary flow.
- Helps to maintain a healthy prostate.
- Clinically trialled extract and dose of saw palmetto.
- Clinically relevant dose of nettle root.
How it works
The combination of ingredients in Blackmores Prostate Health Formula
supports prostate health in 2 ways.
- Antioxidant protection of prostate cells
Lycopene – High levels of lycopene are normally found in
the prostate. Lycopene is a potent antioxidant which may help to reduce cell
damage. Blackmores Prostate Health Formula contains a natural form of
lycopene extracted from tomatoes.
Selenium & vitamin E – May assist in maintaining the
health of the prostate through their role in providing cellular protection
from free radical damage.
Zinc – A normal human prostate has the highest level of
zinc of any soft tissue in the body. It may be important for healthy
testosterone regulation, which is important for maintaining a healthy
prostate.
- Relief of medically diagnosed BPH symptoms
Saw palmetto – Saw palmetto has been shown to improve
symptoms of BPH such as night time urination and poor urine flow. Blackmores
Prostate Health Formula contains a clinically trialled extract and dose of
saw palmetto.
Nettle root – Like saw palmetto, nettle root relieves
the symptoms of a medically diagnosed enlarged prostate (BPH). Blackmores
Prostate Health Formula contains a clinically relevant dose of nettle root.
Adults - Take 1 capsule twice a day with meals, or as professionally
prescribed.
Contraindications & Cautions

should not exceed a daily dose of 150 µg.
- If symptoms persist see your healthcare professional.
- Vitamin supplements should not replace a balanced diet.
- Consult your doctor before use and ensure your condition has been
diagnosed as benign prostatic enlargement.
