GALIUM APARINE · TARGETED PROSTATE FLOW
Cleavers
A classic botanical valued for its fluid-moving properties. It works systematically to clear lymphatic congestion in the pelvic region and flush out stagnation, ensuring a smooth, natural drainage process throughout the entire urinary tract.*
What is Cleavers?
Cleavers (Galium aparine), sometimes called goosegrass or sticky willy, is a common climbing plant known for its tiny hooked hairs that cling to clothing. The above-ground parts of the plant have been used in European folk herbalism for generations and appear in the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia.
Why it's in Targeted Prostate Flow
Herbalists traditionally use cleavers to support the lymphatic system, the body's network for moving fluid and clearing waste from tissues. Here it works to clear lymphatic congestion in the pelvic region and flush out stagnation, supporting a smooth, natural drainage process throughout the urinary tract.*
What the research shows
- Lab research (Molecules, 2020): Cleavers infusions showed significant antioxidant activity and supported immune cell activity in human cells in the lab.*
- Lab research (Plants, 2019): Cleavers extracts helped regulate immune cell activation in human cells in the lab.*
- Animal research (Nutrients, 2024): In mice with suppressed immune systems, cleavers extract helped restore markers of immune function.*
Frequently asked questions
What does the lymphatic system have to do with the prostate?
The lymphatic system helps move fluid out of tissues throughout the body, including the pelvic area. Herbalists include lymph-supporting herbs to help the body keep fluid moving freely.*
Is cleavers the same as the weed in my garden?
Very likely. Cleavers grows widely across North America and Europe. Targeted Prostate Flow uses a concentrated, tested extract rather than wild-harvested plants.
