The prostate is a doughnut shaped gland located behind the
pubic bone and below the bladder in males. It surrounds the
neck of the bladder and the urethra, a small tubular structure
that drains urine from the bladder to the penis. The prostate
gland is a common site of disorders in the male genitourinary
system.
As men age, their prostate gland often enlarges. This condition
is referred to as Benign Prostate Hypertrophy or BPH.
¥ Over 50% of American men will develop an enlarged
prostate in their lifetime.
¥ Dieta ry supplementation of nutrients essential for
prostate health have been shown to be effective in
the relief of BPH.
Cancer of the prostate is a common malignancy in American
men, second only to skin cancer. In fact, nearly 200,000
American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this
year.
Dietary supplementation of the dietary nutrients IP-6,
Quercetin and Lycopene have shown to be helpful when used
for Prostate cancer.
Symptoms of benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancer-
ous) tumors may include:
¥ Difficulty or inability to pass urine
¥ Weak or interrupted flow of urine
¥ Frequency or passing urine more often than usual,
especially at night.
¥ Pain with urination
¥ Blood in the urine
ProsPleX is a natural formulation containing nutrients
essential for male prostate health. Included in this formula are
Saw Palmetto Berry Extract, Zinc Gluconate, Pumpkin Seed,
Pygeum Aficanam Extract, IP-6, Quercetin and Lycopene.
Saw Palmetto has long been known for its effectiveness in the
relief of prostate related disorders, such as BPH. The
mechanism of action is related to the inhibition of DHT
binding to cellular receptors, inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase and
interfering with prostate estrogen receptors. Approximately
90% of men with mild to moderate BPH see some improvement
in symptoms during the first few weeks of therapy.
IP-6 is a relatively new product on the nutraceutical market.
IP-6 is a combination of inositol (a B vitamin) and inositol
hexaphosphate. Based on recent research, many experts
recognize this substance as a natural anti-cancer dietary
supplement. All of the cells in our body require IP-6 for healthy
function. The theory is that by increasing the amount of inositol
phosphates in the cells, it will make each cell, as well as the
entire immune system, stronger and more able to kill abnormal
cells that potentially could be cancerous.
Quercetin is a potent bioflavonoid known for its anti-inflam-
matory, anti-viral and anti-tumor actions.
Lycopene is the natural pigment that gives tomatoes, pink
grapefruit and watermelon their distinctive color. It is the most
highly carotenoid present in the body. Lycopene has
demonstrated inhibitory effects on various cancers including
prostate, endometrial and mammory cancer.
A study was published in the Journal of the National Cancer
Institute regarding the effects of carotenoids and prostate cancer.
Over 47,000 men completed questionnaires regarding their
dietary intake for one year. A followup was done involving all
respondents. Researchers concluded that lycopene reduce
prostate cancer risk over other carotenoids because the subjects
with diets high in lycopenes had lower incidences of prostate
cancer.
Pygeum Africanam has historically been used in the treatment
of urinary tract disorders. Numerous clinical trials in over 600
patients have demonstrated the effectiveness of pygeum in the
relief of the clinical signs and symptoms of BPH. Effectiveness
is enhanced when combined with Saw Palmetto.
Zinc plays an important role in hormone metabolism and is a
critical addition to an effective treatment plan related to
disorders of the prostate. Pumpkin Seed is a rich, natural source
of Zinc.
