Serenoa repens
Common Name: Saw palmetto
the primary  use  of  saw  palmetto  is  to  treat  benign prostatic  hyperplasia  (BPH),  a  non-cancerous enlargement  of  the  prostate  gland.  It  contains plant-based  chemicals  include  fatty  acids,  plant sterols,  and  flavonoids  that  may  be  effective for  BPH.  Although  the  mechanism  of  action  of saw  palmetto  is  not  completely  understood  but Researchers think that saw palmetto may affect the level of testosterone in the body, and perhaps reduces  the  amount  of  5α-  reductase  enzyme. Saw palmetto also seems to have an anti-inflammatory effect on the prostate. At least one study has shown even greater anti-inflammatory activity when saw palmetto is combined with lycopene and selenium. It can help treat symptoms, including too frequent urination, having trouble starting or maintaining urination, and needing to urinate during the night.
 Some  studies  show  that  saw  palmetto  is  as effective  in  treating  symptoms  as  finasteride without  side  effects.

Selenium:
With age, selenium is poorly absorbed into the body and rapidly depleted. Therefore, older adults usually have selenium deficiency, and this deficiency has now been shown to be associated with failing prostate health in men. Researchers believe that selenium benefits the prostate with its antioxidant protection. Because it is used by the body to make selenoproteins which are essential for neutralizing free radicals in the body, selenium can help prevent the oxidative destruction of prostate epithelial cells. This antioxidant protection has also been shown to reduce the risk of prostate cancer and also fight the growth of cancerous cells. It reduces the activities and production of prostate-specific antigens.  However, high levels of prostate-specific antigens may indicate the benign prostate hyperplasia or other prostate problems. Therefore, by inhibiting PSA in men; selenium may help reduce the risk of prostate cancer and the progression of benign prostate hyperplasia. Furthermore, selenium is believed to have a selective effect on prostaglandins. This means that selenium can increase the levels of beneficial prostaglandins while inhibiting harmful prostaglandins at same time.
Zinc
Zinc is considered one of the most essential trace elements, and it is believed to play a critical role in cell growth and differentiation. Zinc is both helpful with enlarged prostates and with inflamed prostates. Studies have shown that zinc deficiency results in prostate enlargement. Infection and other stress results in lower blood serum zinc levels in general. 
The human prostate gland contains a higher level of zinc than most other tissues.

Oral, take one tablet daily with meal or consult with physician.
