Practicing medicine in Florida means I see more than my share of men over 40. And a lot of them come to me with prostate trouble.

Dribbling… frequent urination… sleep problems… discomfort… and even a diminished sex life. You may already know the drill. But if you don’t, you probably will. Because, over your lifetime, your chances of having prostate trouble are 90%.

A quarter of all men actually develop prostate trouble in their 40’s… so I’m not surprised to see so many patients with prostate problems.

But I was surprised to discover how many men have problems – even though they’re taking a natural prostate remedy.

This got me curious. Why do so many prostate formulas fail for so many men? I started looking for answers. And what I learned could make your life a lot easier.

First, I discovered almost every prostate remedy is missing an important ingredient. It’s a flower pollen extract called “Cernitin.” And it’s the 800-pound gorilla of prostate defense.

Studies from Europe and the Far East agree: Cernitin is safe and effective. For example, 78% of men with prostate trouble in a German study found relief with Cernitin… and a third of them got rid of their problems completely.1

Polish doctors discovered that Cernitin provides relief to 50% more men than Pygeum Africanum – another natural prostate remedy popular in Europe.2

So why isn’t this powerful pollen extract in your prostate remedy? Probably because it isn’t easy to get in the US. And it’s expensive.

But Cernitin is tremendously effective. Especially when you combine it with certain other natural ingredients. In the right combination, researchers have achieved an 88% effectiveness rate.3 That’s the best record I’ve seen.

So what is this combination? It’s Cernitin with saw palmetto, Beta-sitosterol vitamin E and zinc. And it works extremely well.4

• Saw palmetto promotes higher levels of testosterone – the hormone that defines you as a man. It also supports lower levels of  DHT (dihydrotestosterone) and estradiol – two hormones linked to prostate problems.5

• Beta-sitosterol promotes stronger flow and less retained urine.6 So you’ll “get the job done” on your own terms – and should have to go less often.

• Vitamin E is an important antioxidant linked to lower risk of prostate trouble.7

• Your prostate contains high concentrations of zinc. Studies show that zinc promotes better DNA health in the prostate8 – and supports overall prostate health, too.7

That’s why this nutrient combination is so effective.

Imagine getting a good night’s sleep… making fewer trips to the men’s room… having a stronger flow… and an end to the dripping and discomfort prostate problems can cause.
