Zinc prevents the development of benign and malignant processes in the prostate gland, helps to maintain the integrity of sperm, increases sexual desire, is a factor in immune defense, is necessary for the maturation of specific immune cells, the synthesis of cytokines, and body resistance. Zinc deficiency, which is characteristic, in particular, of elderly people, leads to impotence, regression of the male sex glands and testicles, and a decrease in sperm count.

Vitamin E supports the biological activity of sperm, has anticoagulant properties, prevents intravascular coagulation, as it has the ability to bind prothrombin, also has an anti-inflammatory and pronounced antioxidant effect, and prevents the development of atherosclerosis.

Vitamin E in the blood binds to lipoproteins and partially to albumin, is deposited in the adrenal glands, pituitary gland, testes, adipose and muscle tissues, and liver. It is excreted mainly with bile. Zinc does not accumulate, it is excreted in feces (85%), as well as in urine and sweat. There is no information on the pharmacokinetics of prostatylene. Rectal administration of the drug ensures the effective intake of active substances in the local bloodstream of the pelvic organs and male genital organs.
