RECOMMENDED TO
ENHANCE STRUCTURE & FUNCTION RELATING TO NUTRITIONAL NEEDS AND DEFICIENCIES
PERTAINING TO HELPING TO PROTECT PROSTATE HEALTH BY:
Providing
potent antioxidant support to protect against free radical damage & assist
in detoxification. Supporting healthy prostate gland tissue by inhibiting
potential carcinogenic activity. Enhancing immune function.
THE BENEFITS OF THE FOLLOWING
INGREDIENTS TO SUPPORT PROSTATE HEALTH:
SAW
PALMETTO EXTRACT: Saw Palmetto Berry (a phytosterol) has steroid reductase
inhibitor properties and creates antiandrogenic action; thereby inhibiting
the enzyme, testosterone-5-α-reductase, which causes the enlargement of the
gland. BETA-SITOSTEROL: Active ingredient found in the Saw Palmetto
Berry. Enhances T cell activity and is efficacious in improving urinary
symptoms and flow in BPH, by removing toxins. PUMPKIN SEED EXTRACT:
has beneficial effects, and works synergistically with Saw Palmetto Berry
for maximum results. It will also enhance the absorption of Lycopene.
BROCCOLI SPROUT EXTRACT: Has high anticarcinogenic activities. Contains
sulforaphane, which has been noted by researchers to lower the risk of many
forms of cancer, including prostate cancer. D-CALCIUM GLUCARATE : A
form of glucaric acid, a natural compound found in the body with
detoxification properties. It helps by detoxifying harmful carcinogenic
pesticides, such as DDT and Atrazine. GRAPE SEED & GRAPE SKIN EXTRACT:
Have reservatrol (compound in grape skin & wine) which may protect healthy
cells from chemotherapeutic activity. Polyphenols in grapes may induce
apotosis of prostate cancer cells. Also helps to increase Glutathione
levels.
QUERCITIN:
A flavonoid that inhibits free radical damage to cells, and has
anti-inflammatory properties, which may be beneficial for prostatitis.
SILYMARIN EXTRACT: (from milk thistle plant) Hepatoprotectant increases
Glutathione in the liver and supports liver function. Helps detoxify the
liver from, & protects against, tetrachloride & galactosamine. Contains
silibinin, which may inhibit prostate carcinogenesis. TOCOTRIENOLS/
Tocopherols (mixed): Vitamin E suppresses androgen & antigen (PSA) receptors
in prostate cancer. Tocotrienols are a special form of Vitamin E - with
enhance free radical scavenging ability. d-ALPHA TOCOPHERYL SUCCINATE:
Another important form of Vitamin E, which is adjunctive to radiation
therapy and assists in apoptosis. ORIGANUM VULGARE EXTRACT: Contains the
active phenolic compound, rosmarinic acid. It is an antioxidant with
anti-inflammatory and cancerpreventative properties. BILBERRY EXTRACT:
A flavonoid (member of blueberry family) with high antioxidant properties.
It is a rich source of anthocyanin and has natural phytochemicals. CRANBERRY
EXTRACT: Cranberries are flavonoids (a rich source of Quercetin) with
antioxidant properties. GINGKO BILBOA EXTRACT: Has free radical scavenging
properties. SELENOMETHIONINE: A chelate of Selenium and Methionine for
better absorption. Selenium is an antioxidant with free radical
terminators. It may reduce the risk of several chemically or virally
induced cancers, including prostate cancer. TOMATO EXTRACT: Has high levels
of Lycopene, a cancer-fighting compound, especially important for the
prostate. Tomatoes also contain p-coumaric acid and cholorgenic acid to
help block nitrosamine formation. STIGMASTEROL: A phytosterol with 5 alpha-reductase
inhibitory activity. CAMPESTEROL: Phytosterol found to have beneficial
results for BPH. SELENICEREUS GRANDIFLORUS POWDER: (Cactus Flower) May be
beneficial for BPH, since it might inhibit lipid peroxidation, assists
androgen amortization and testosterone reduction. ALPHA LIPOIC ACID: A
potent antioxidant that helps prevent oxidative damage caused by free
radicals. ALA also increases Glutathione production.
