AGEprost is a trademarked version of whiteweed, a plant extract used in holistic medicine for 600+ years. Studied by scientists and health experts around the world, whiteweed has a long history of supporting male health and wellness in various ways. According to OptiMale Labs, the active ingredient in AGEprost “inhibits the 5-alpha reductase enzyme,” which is the enzyme responsible for increasing DHT in your body. Many prostate health supplements – and even some hair loss solutions – work by targeting the 5-alpha reductase enzyme. As proof whiteweed works, OptiMale Labs cites a study where 109 people significantly reduced urinary problems and decreased bathroom visits by 21% after taking the plant extract. AGEprost was made by a company named Gencor Pacific, who developed the formula specifically for prostate health.

African cherry “helps deflate the prostate” because of its natural anti-inflammatory properties, according to the makers of ProstaThrive. This effect can help relieve pressure on the bladder and free up space for urine to flow through the urethra. In other words, ProstaThrive doesn’t just claim to support normal prostate size; the supplement can purportedly help deflate the prostate, shrinking it to a healthy size. When your prostate is a normal size, it’s easier to urinate, empty the bladder, and pee on command. As proof, OptiMale Labs cites a meta-analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials involving 1,562 men. In those trials, African cherry resulted in a 19% decrease in nighttime trips to the bathroom and a 23% increase in urine flow. Men were also twice as likely to report an improvement in all symptoms of prostate health, compared to a placebo.

ProstaThrive contains stinging nettle, an herb with high levels of beta sitosterol. Found in many prostate health supplements, stinging nettle is believed to work by blocking the production of DHT. Plus, like whiteweed, it may inhibit 5-alpha reductase, helping to target DHT imbalance at the source. Like African cherry, stinging nettle also has anti-inflammatory effects on the prostate, which could help support normal prostate size. In addition to prostate health, stinging nettle was traditionally used for bladder issues, kidney stones, and UTIs, among other areas of health and wellness.

One of nature’s most popular and best-known prostate health supplement ingredients is pumpkin seed. Pumpkin seed is packed with antioxidants, essential fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals linked to prostate health and overall male wellness. According to OptiMale Labs, the pumpkin seed in ProstaThrive “can help improve prostate health by reducing inflammation and improving blood flow.” Pumpkin also has another unique effect: it boosts the bioavailability of complementary ingredients like whiteweed, helping to unlock the full power of the ProstaThrive formula.

ProstaThrive contains lycopene, a natural antioxidant found in certain fruits and plants – including the tomato. The antioxidant appears to be particularly effective for supporting inflammation around the bladder, and many prostate health supplements contain lycopene to support normal prostate size. In one study cited by OptiMale Labs, researchers found lycopene slowed the growth of normal prostate cells, helping to reduce symptoms of BPH.

ProstaThrive contains beta sitosterol, a plant sterol shown to help with BPH and urinary flow. Like pumpkin seed and lycopene, beta sitosterol is found in many prostate health supplements sold online today. OptiMale Labs added beta sitosterol to the formula for its ability to “decrease the amount of urine left in the bladder.” As proof, the company cites one study published in the Journal of Nutrition where researchers found lycopene slowed the growth of normal prostate cells, reducing symptoms of BPH – similar to how lycopene works. Overall, the unique blend of ingredients in ProstaThrive can support prostate health, bladder function, and overall male hormone balance in multiple ways using science-backed ingredients.
