Some components (Bilberry leaf, Juniper, Uva Ursi, and White Willow bark) are used to reduce inflammation and swelling; some (Nettle Leaf, Saw Palmetto and White willow bark) are there to help reduce the swelling in the prostate gland in particular; some to neutralize the acidity level of the urine to reduce the concentration of the uric acid which contributes to stones; and others to also help tonify and strengthen the tissues and muscles in the urinary tract such as the sphincter.
