Prostese Soft Gelatin Capsule works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, reducing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to prostate enlargement. Prostese Soft Gelatin Capsule also has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce inflammation in the prostate tissue.
