ProstaVive Ingredients: Nettle Root, Tongkat Ali, Ginseng and More

The first thing many shoppers want to know is what is in the tub, so let us look at the ProstaVive ingredients through the one source that matters most: the supplement facts label. Each scoop (about 4.93 g) is one serving, a tub holds 30 servings, and nearly every line has an amount printed next to it.

ProstaVive is a daily powder drink mix, and the seller says it is designed to support prostate health and normal urinary flow. Below, you will meet the main plants and minerals one at a time, with the dose from the label and the soft, attributed role the seller gives each. We also link to the research the seller lists for a few individual ingredients.

The Plants Named on the Tub

The tub front names three plants. These are the headline ingredients, and the seller puts them first.

Stinging nettle root extract: 200 mg

The seller ties nettle root to urinary tract health in men and says it promotes prostate health. The label prints the amount, 200 mg per scoop, right beside the name.

Cordyceps powder: 250 mg

Cordyceps is printed on the tub front and sits on the label at 250 mg. The seller does not describe a separate role for it on the pages we read, so we do not either.

Panax ginseng extract: 50 mg

The seller describes panax ginseng as supporting healthy blood flow in the prostate and cognition. It is the smallest of the plant lines, at 50 mg.

The Supporting Herbs

Beyond the three on the front, the label lists several more plants, each with its own dose.

• Fenugreek seed powder, 500 mg. The largest single line. The seller says fenugreek supports prostate function and a healthy response to stress, and links it with mood and brain function.
• Artichoke extract, 300 mg. Standardized to 5% cynarin, whole herb. The seller calls artichoke rich in natural antioxidants that help maintain prostate health.
• Ashwagandha extract, 250 mg. A root extract with 1.5% withanolides. The seller says it optimizes the body’s detoxification of toxins.
• Maca root extract, 250 mg. The seller links maca with everyday energy and a better mood.
• Tongkat ali extract, 100 mg. A 100:1 extract. The seller calls it a powerful antioxidant that supports prostate health and prostate blood circulation, with a healthy response to stress.

All of those amounts come straight from the label, and we never add doses the label does not show.

Boron, Zinc, Magnesium and the Vitamins

The mineral and vitamin lines are a small part of the weight but an interesting part of the label, because they carry percent daily values.

Because vitamin D3 and vitamin B6 come in well above 100% of the daily value, it is sensible to check any other supplements you take for the same vitamins. We cover that in our ProstaVive side effects guide.

The 200 mg Fruit and Vegetable Blend

One line on the label is a blend: beet root powder, alfalfa powder (leaf), black currant powder (fruit), broccoli powder (leaf), pomegranate extract (fruit) and raspberry powder (fruit). The label gives the weight of the blend as a whole, 200 mg, and lists the plants in order without a dose for each. If you prefer a label where every plant has its own number, that is worth knowing before you order.

Add up the plant lines and you reach the “2100MG” on the tub front: 500 + 300 + 250 + 250 + 250 + 200 + 200 + 100 + 50 comes to 2,100 mg, with the blend counted as one 200 mg line.

An Easy Way to Remember the Formula

Fifteen label lines can feel like a lot, so group them into four layers. The first is the three plants on the front of the tub: nettle root, cordyceps and panax ginseng. The second is the supporting herbs: fenugreek, artichoke, ashwagandha, maca and tongkat ali. The third is the nutrients: boron, zinc, magnesium, vitamin D3 and vitamin B6, with a little sodium. The fourth is the 200 mg fruit and vegetable blend. Four layers, one scoop, one glass of water.

Research on the Individual Ingredients

The seller’s references page lists studies of single ingredients. These four are the ones we point to, and they describe ingredients, not ProstaVive itself:

• A study of tongkat ali, stress hormones and psychological mood state in moderately stressed subjects (Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, 2013).
• A study of ashwagandha and cardiorespiratory endurance in healthy athletic adults (Ayu, 2015).
• A review article on magnesium (Nutrients, 2015).
• A review of zinc: dietary intake and supplementation in older adults (Age, 2013).

Research on an ingredient shows that the plants and minerals are real subjects of study. It is not a promise about how any one product will feel, and results vary from person to person.

What Is Not in the Tub

The other ingredients on the label are natural flavors, citric acid, sea salt and stevia extract (leaf). The seller says the powder is free from gluten, dairy, soy, wheat, barley and animal products, with no known allergens, and that it is not a stimulant and not habit-forming. It is a powder, not a capsule, so you stir it into water or a drink you like.

Who Will Like This Label

• Shoppers who enjoy reading doses and comparing them.
• Men who prefer one scoop to a shelf of separate bottles.
• Readers who are comfortable with one blend listed by total weight.

Verdict

The formula is easy to read, the doses are printed and the roles the seller claims are soft and attributed. That combination, plus a 180-day money-back guarantee counted from your order date, supports our editorial score of 4.6 out of 5, which is our own rating and not a customer count.
