Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) (enlargment of the prostate gland) is a common problem, mainly affecting men of over 50 years old. Note: It is important to seek medical confirmation for your symptoms. Differential diagnosis for Prostatitis, an inflammation of the prostate, & cancer of the prostate gland should be carried out by a medically qualified practitioner. Active Ingredients:
- Urtica Dioica (Stinging Nettle Root). Analysis of this common plant has revealed the presence of a surprising number of well-known compounds including betasitosterol, quercetin & rutin. Inhibitory & anti-proliferative activity of Urtica Dioica has been recorded in research for human prostate tissue.
- Beta-sitosterol is a natural plant sterol. A number of potential health benefits for plant sterols have been demonstrated with prostate-specific research for beta-sitosterol.
- Pumpkin Seed has historically featured in natural approaches for the prostate gl&, with potential anti-androgen & anti-inflammatory properties suggested for the benefits of pumpkin seed to the prostate in a report published in Reviews in Urology.
- Lycopene. A beneficial role for lycopene has been suggested in patients diagnosed with benign prostate hyperplasia. A pilot study for BPH showed those taking lycopene showed no further enlargement of the prostate, whilst those in the placebo group demonstrated a continuing enlargement.
- Zinc is an important mineral, with many zinc-dependent enzymes present in the body. The functions of zinc include tissue growth, cell replication, bone formation & cell mediated immunity. Researchers have suggested that zinc may serve an important role in regulating both cell growth & apoptosis. All of these are presented in a wholefood mineral base made from hydroponically grown brassica juncea.
