Modere Prostate Health: saw palmetto, zinc and lycopene for men’s prostate health after 40
Saw palmetto — most studied prostate herb
Saw palmetto extract (standardised fatty acids/sterols) has been studied in dozens of clinical trials for BPH symptom reduction and prostate health maintenance.
Lycopene — the prostate carotenoid
Lycopene from tomatoes concentrates specifically in prostate tissue — epidemiological studies consistently associate high lycopene intake with lower prostate cancer risk.
Zinc — the prostate mineral
The prostate contains the highest zinc concentration of any tissue in the male body. Zinc depletion is associated with prostate enlargement and inflammatory conditions.
Why prostate health becomes a priority for every NZ man over 40
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — non-cancerous prostate enlargement — affects over 50% of men over 50 and nearly 90% of men over 80. The resulting urinary symptoms (frequent urination, weak flow, night-time waking) significantly affect quality of life. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in New Zealand men.
The earlier men support prostate health, the better. Saw palmetto, lycopene and zinc work through different mechanisms — saw palmetto reduces DHT-driven prostate tissue growth, lycopene provides antioxidant protection specific to prostate tissue, and zinc maintains the mineral balance essential to normal prostate function. Together they provide comprehensive prostate health support.
Ingredients in Modere Prostate Health NZ | Saw Palmetto Men’s Formula 60 Caps
Shaklee quality — 350+ point testing standard.
| Ingredient | Role | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Saw palmetto extract Serenoa repens — standardised fatty acids/sterols | 5-alpha reductase inhibitor | Fatty acids from saw palmetto inhibit 5-alpha reductase — the enzyme converting testosterone to DHT, the primary driver of prostate tissue enlargement in BPH. Studied in 30+ clinical trials. |
| Zinc Zinc citrate | Prostate mineral balance | The prostate concentrates zinc at 10x blood levels — required for prostate cell function, testosterone metabolism and immune defence of prostate tissue. |
| Lycopene From tomato extract | Prostate-specific antioxidant | Carotenoid that concentrates in prostate tissue — protects prostate cells from oxidative damage. Epidemiologically associated with reduced prostate cancer risk. |
| Selenium | Antioxidant, prostate protection | Essential cofactor for glutathione peroxidase in prostate tissue — provides antioxidant protection. NZ soils are selenium-depleted, making supplementation particularly relevant. |
| Nettle root extract Urtica dioica | Urinary flow support | Traditional herbal medicine for urinary tract support — studied alongside saw palmetto for BPH symptom management |
How Modere Prostate Health NZ | Saw Palmetto Men’s Formula 60 Caps works
Saw palmetto inhibits DHT production
Fatty acids from saw palmetto competitively inhibit 5-alpha reductase type II — reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT, the androgen most responsible for BPH tissue growth.
Zinc maintains prostate tissue health
Zinc is actively concentrated in prostate cells for DNA stability, immune surveillance and testosterone metabolism. Supplementation maintains the high tissue concentrations required for normal prostate function.
Lycopene provides tissue-specific antioxidant protection
Lycopene is transported by lipoproteins to prostate tissue where it accumulates — providing carotenoid antioxidant protection at the cellular level against oxidative DNA damage.
Nettle root supports urinary flow
Nettle root compounds inhibit sex hormone-binding globulin and have direct anti-inflammatory action on the lower urinary tract — supporting better urinary flow and frequency.

What to expect
Realistic guide.
Month 1-2
Night-time urination frequency may reduce as saw palmetto inhibits DHT-driven prostate tissue activity.
Month 2-3
Urinary flow improvement and reduced urgency as full saw palmetto and nettle root effect develops — most trials show 3-month outcomes.
Month 4+
Maintained prostate health with consistent zinc, lycopene and antioxidant support — long-term protection is the primary goal.
Is Modere Prostate Health NZ | Saw Palmetto Men’s Formula 60 Caps right for you?
✓ Yes if you…

- Men with family history of prostate conditions
- Those with low tomato/lycopene intake
✕ Skip if you…
- Those with diagnosed prostate cancer — use alongside oncological care under GP supervision
- Those on 5-alpha reductase inhibitor medications (finasteride, dutasteride) — consult GP before combining
Pro tips
Eat cooked tomatoes regularly
Cooked tomatoes provide the most bioavailable lycopene — cooking increases lycopene’s bioavailability 5-fold. Supplement provides targeted prostate-tissue delivery.
Get a PSA test from age 50
Ask your GP about PSA (prostate-specific antigen) testing from age 50, or 40 if family history. Prostate Health supplement is not a screening substitute.
