Men's Nutrients is a multivitamin and mineral complex formulated specifically for men over 40. Men's Nutrients offers pygeum and lycopene, along with saw palmetto, which is used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve the urologic symptoms (e.g. weak urine flow, incomplete voiding, frequent daytime and night time urination) associated with mild to moderate BPH. This formula also combines superior mineral cofactors, activated vitamins and antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin, the two major carotenoid pigments stored in the macula, the central part of the retina. These nutrients are blended with green tea, plus grape seed extract to offer additional support for antioxidant defence. Also included in this formula are maca and astragalus, two important plants used in traditional medicine.
