• Lycopene: helps remove carcinogenic toxins from the body and has been shown to help prevent and decrease the risks of certain forms of cancer.
• Zinc: involved in numerous processes of cellular metabolism, plays a role in immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing and cell division. Is required in a steady state because the human body has no natural zinc stores.
• Selenium: a natural antioxidant which prevents and repairs cellular damage from free radicals which can directly contribute to certain forms of cancer.
• Vitamin B: important to metabolism, converts and carries oxygen to vital organs.
• Saw palmetto: has been shown to shrink an enlarged prostate and lower prostate specific antigen levels (PSA).
