Prostate health has become an important issue among men who are over the age of 40. A healthy prostate can be aided by several natural nutrients and herbs.

As the male population ages, it will become more important for men to decrease their fat intake and to supplement their diets with those nutrients and herbs known to help in maintaining a healthy prostate.

KOREAN GINSENG EXTRACT
Ginseng is also known as the "Kinf of Tonic". In 200 B.C., a Chinese herbalist wrote that Ginseng can "vitalize the five organs, calm the nerves, stop palpitations due to fright, brighten vision, increase intellect and with long term use, prolong life and make one feel young." Korean Ginseng is said to have more "yang" (more life) than other Ginseng. Ginseng is believed to regulate blood sugar, improve stamina and the ability to concentrate, increase energy, and help the body resist disease.

VITAMIN E

• Vitamin E prevents a chemical reaction called oxidation. Excessive oxidation can sometimes cause harmful effects.
• Acts as a co-factor in several enzyme systems.

• Promotes normal growth and development.
• Treats and prevents Vitamin E deficiecy in premature or low-birth weight infants.
• Prevents oxidation of free radicals in body.
• Acts as anti-blood clotting agent.
• Promotes normal red blood cell formation.

What this mineral does:

• Zinc is a part of the molecular structure of 80 or more known enzymes. These particular enzymes work with red blood cells to move carbon dioxide from tissue to lungs.

• Functions as an anti-oxidant.
• Maintains normal taste and smell.
• Promotes normal growth and development.
• Aids wound healing.
• Promotes normal fetal growth.
• Helps synthesize DNA and RNA.
• Promotes cell division, cell repair, cell growth.
• Maintains normal level of Vitamin A in blood.

• This mineral helps defend against cell damage and oxidation.

• Compliments vitamin E to act as an efficient anti-oxidant.
• Promotes normal growth and development.
• Functions as an anti-oxidant itself.

• Copper is an essential component of a number of proteins and enzymes, including lysyl, hydroxylase, and dopamine beta-hydroxylase.

• Promotes normal red blood cell formation.
• Acts as a catalyst in storage and release of iron to form hemoglobin for red blood cells.
• Assists in production of several enzymes involved in respiration.
• Promotes connective tissue formation and central nervous-system function.

Saw palmetto berries contain a variety of fatty acids and phtosterols. Phytosterols are plant sterols that have been shown to inhibit the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that plays a role in the enlargement of the prostate. Saw palmetto extracts contain bioactive sterols such as beta-sitosterol that are reported to be a nutritional aid to men with BHP.

Studies have shown that plant derived extracts of beta-sitosterol are helpful in normalizing urine flow and residual urinary volume.

SOY BEAN LECITHIN

• Lecithin is a phospholipid composed of saturated, unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. It also contains glycerin, phosphorous and choline.
• It is found in chemicals that aid passage of many nutrients from the bloodstream into cells.

• Protects against damage to cells by oxidation.
• Major source of the chemical nutrient choline, Choline's benefits are also lecithin's benefits (see above).
• People taking niacin or nicotinic acid for treatment of high-serum cholesterol and triglycerides need lecithin in choline supplements.

L-ALANINE, GLUTAMIC ACID & GLYCINE
L-Alanine, Glutamic Acid & Glycine are amino acids.

Amino acids are a chemical group containing nitrogen, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. The amino acids form the chief structure of proteins. These three are believed to play an important role in maintaining a healthy prostate.

PYGEUM BARK
Pygeum bark was traditionally used as a tea for genito-urinary problems. Recent research with extracts of pygeum indicate that it is helpful in reducing the inflammation and swelling associated with minor prostate irritation. Pygeum contains phytosterols such as beta-sisterol which inhibits the productiuon of inflammatory prostaglandins.

SILICA
The silica is extracted from Equiseti Herba (Horsetail).

Horsetail has been used as a genito-urinary astringent, diuretic, lithotripic and as a kidney and bladder tonic. Horsetail is good for kidney disorders, especially kidney stones. It is used for enuresis and other irritable symptoms of the urinary system. Horsetail is an excellent source of naturally occurring silica. This helps the body absorb calcium and contributes to healthier hair and nails. It helps build or rebuild strong bones. It is also helpful for symptoms of arthritis.
