Prostate Cancer
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer accounts for more than 16% of cancer cases worldwide and is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men. Many men have and live with prostate cancer without any negative incedence. The exact causes of prostate cancer are unknown. However, research indicates some of the contributing factors include: Testosterone levels,age, genetics and diet.
Early signs of prostate cancer can be very similar to those of an enlarged prostate:
- Frequently needing to urinate, particularly at night
- Difficulty urinating or Inability to pass urine while standing
- Leakage of urine whilst coughing or laughing
- A burning sensation while urination or ejaculation
Advanced symptoms include:
- Incontinence
- Recurrent blood in the urine
- Inability to fully empty the bladder (urinary retention)
- Recurrent urinary tract infections, Kidney failure or Bladder stones
It is highly recommended a medical professionals opinion is sought immediately if advanced symptoms are observed.
Natures Bio-Active Ingredients Providing Optimal Prostate Support
Preliminary research indicates a number of ingredients may contribute to recovery from and prevention of prostate cancer, although significant clinical data is still needed to establish certainty. These ingredients help by supporting general prostate health and controlling some of the factors suggested as causing the disease.
Saw Palmetto
Is a popular herbal supplements that contains Beta-Sisterol, a plant sterol. Supplementation with Saw Palmetto has been shown in a number of studies to help improve urinary symptoms in men with prostate enlargement.. Saw Palmetto helps by contributing to correct regulation of the androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a compound suggested to play a key role in prostate enlargement.
Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA)
Is a strong inhibitor of 5-alpha reductase acyivity. An enzyme that irreversibly converts testosterone to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), This conversion may not only result in prostate enlargement but can cause other problems related to low testosterone such as fatigue, reduced virility and male pattern baldness.
Blackcurrant Anthocyanins
Possess powerful antioxidant activity which fight oxidative stress helping prevent disease and reduce premature aging. In addition the unique composition of anthocyanins, rarely found elsewhere in nature, also promotes peripheral blood circulation that can help alleviate urinary tract infections.
Zinc
Plays an important role in maintaining prostate health. In a diseased prostate, zinc levels fall to one tenth of the levels found in normal prostates. Zinc supplementation has a clearly documented usefulness in shrinking an enlarged prostate.
Lycopene
Is a strong antioxidant that combats toxic free radicals protecting critical cells and bio molecules including lipids, DNA and proteins. When absorbed from the stomach, lycopene is transported in the blood and accumulates in the liver, adrenal glands, testes and prostate gland – Meaning its antioxidant power will be most active in these areas helping to prevent disease (like prostate disease).
