What Can I Do To Protect My Prostate?

Many of us are concerned about just what we can do to protect the health of our prostate, so we can maintain an even stream of urine, stop uncomfortable swelling conditions and avoid the Big C.  It is a tough question and there are so many aspects to the problem.  While no one product is the complete solution to the myriad of situations we as men can face in this area, there is one product that I take that handles problems for me, and that is Prostate Protector. 

Prostate Protector Contains Soothing Ingredients, Coral Calcium & Antioxidants  and Ingredients That Support Prostate, Urinary Tract, Bladder & Hormonal Health

For those with potential hormone imbalance due to toxins, go to the I3C with DIM data sheet for more detailed information. This is a companion product that you may want to use when you initially start on Prostate Protector.

Prostate Protector (PP), like all other products created for NEWtritional Health Care, has been created with synergistic ingredients and is alkaline forming.  While the causes of prostate problems are many, all men with these problems and all men who wish to avoid these problems need to maintain an alkaline system and avoid acidosis. PP’s natural soothing mechanisms support bladder and urinary tract health, hormonal balance, cellular regeneration, overall prostate health and provides autoimmune, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antioxidant defense.

The prostate, a walnut sized gland that lies below the bladder and surrounds the urethra, secrets an alkaline fluid for lubrication, is responsible for sperm mobility and supports the body in preventing infection.  The aging process has effects on testosterone levels and may cause an increase in dihydrotestosterone (DHT).  This change in hormonal balance is associated with prostate enlargement and male pattern baldness.  If the prostate becomes enlarged it may restrict urine flow or cause difficulty with erectile function.  Urinary restriction may cause frequent trips to the bathroom during sleep hours and reduce the urinary flow and speed.  Frequently waking at night causes further disturbance in the body’s ability to repair, as body repair occurs primarily during the sleep hours.  One of the functions of the prostate is to protect the sperm from toxins, so it is more susceptible to toxic problems itself.  By increasing the nutrients required, balancing pH and oxidizing the body we can support our body in keeping toxic levels down.

Maintaining prostate health is important so that cancer, impotence and fertility issues can be avoided.  It is also important to do this so that the body can maintain good urinary flow and comfort.  The ingredients found in PP will help the body keep the appropriate systems alkalized and supplied with nutrients for rebuilding.  Additionally, the ingredients boost the body’s ability to repair damage that may have been caused by lifestyle or aging processes. 

Some of the factors that effect prostate health include (but are certainly not limited to): acidosis; xenohormones (xenoestrogens); stress; cigarette smoking; illegal and prescription drugs; improper diet; lack of high alkaline pH  spring water; lack of minerals and other nutrients; urethral stricture; cancer; benign prostatic hyperplasia; glandular damage; high alcohol use; yeast infestation; bacterial or viral infection; autoimmune response; prostate stones; uric acid disorder; allergy to food; diabetes, obesity, arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, and hypertension that results from these; lack of exercise and poor eating habits; toxic poisoning from chemicals, pollution and from daily contact with common items such as paper and plastic; and improper clothing (tight fitting underwear or jeans).  A recent study has recently connected prostate cancer with diets high in saturated fats.  We also know that when Asians come to America their risk of cancer is increased.  While the cause has not been defined, we can surmise that factors, such as diet high in fats, artificial ingredients and sugars; pollution of water and air; and stress could well be factors that are contributory and maybe causative.

Unlike other formulations, ours takes into consideration most of the above factors, including dietary.  We strongly recommend that you eat a balanced diet that includes high pH water, restrict alcohol, eliminate colas and reduce carbonated beverage intake, begin an exercise program, wear proper attire and eliminate all drugs that you can.  We also suggest that you consider taking MSM (caps or powder) and Ultimate V-M daily.

This formula does not address Prostatitis caused by allergy to food.  We have also specifically not included L-Arginine due to the incidence of Herpes virus in the American population.  Additionally, if you have other degenerative conditions such as cancer, stones, diabetes, obesity, arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, and hypertension you should consider taking additional formulations in conjunction withPP. 

pH  Plus is available as an electrolyte drinking water additive to increase the pH and spring water is recommended.  Drinking lots of high pH water is important to support the flushing of toxins from the body and increasing alkalinity and oxygen.  While this formulation has ingredients that help cleanse, there is a cleansing effect from high pH water that you can only gain from the flushing action. 

Dr. Otto Warburg has won two Nobel prizes for his work that proved that cancer can only exist in a body low in oxygen, which is in an acidic state.  Naturopathic physicians have identified over 150 diseases that exist in the bodies of those who have low pH systems.  This means that to stabilize the blood they dump alkaline minerals into the blood stream to stay alive, robbing the body of those healthful and beneficial alkaline minerals.  It is important for us to stay healthy and to keep our pH in the blood stream balanced without robbing our body of alkaline minerals.  If the body is full of acid toxic waste, fatty acid deposits, low in pH throughout our systems, then we begin to experience the degenerative diseases and we lack sufficient oxygen for good health.  All men concerned with cancer, degenerative disease and prostate problems should be alkalinizing. 

While you may be very familiar with many of the ingredients in this formulation and may see them in others, we do provide ingredients that are not usually seen in formulations of this type.  That includes small willow herb, MPS 200x, Indole-3-Carbinol with DIM, and Terminalia Chebula.  Below is a list of some of the ingredients we use so you will know why.  Additionally we include a B vitamin package to support stress levels in the body that may cause problems.

Vitamins

Vitamin B Complex:  A complex of B vitamins supports the body in relief of stress, may offer some protection against heart disease and lower homocysteine levels.  Since levels of homocysteine are higher in those with atherosclerosis, lowering this level may be useful in reducing or reversing atherosclerosis.  In trials, attempts to lower homocysteine by diet without the use of supplements have proven unsuccessful.  Since there may be some incidence of atherosclerosis among men with prostate symptoms, this complex is one of the essential components for healthy prostate protection.

Vitamin B₁:  This vitamin benefits the central nervous system and converts carbohydrates into energy, promotes protein & fat metabolism, energy production, digestion & maintains muscle tone.  Most importantly it is a component of B complex that supports the body in relief of stress. 

Vitamin B₂  - Riboflavin: Riboflavin is required to complete several reactions in the energy cycle.  Glutathione reductase is a riboflavin-dependent enzyme that converts oxidized glutathione (GSSG) back to reduced glutathione (GSH), and is then able to perform its antioxidant functions via glutathione peroxidase.  Without sufficient riboflavin this conversion does not occur.  It is important for nerve & eye function.

Vitamin B₃:  This vitamin is available as niacin or niacinamide.  We chose niacinamide because niacin can cause flushing in some individuals.  Niacinamide assist with over 50 bodily functions and processes, opens up the superficial blood vessels thereby improving blood circulation & promotes utilization of GABA.  B₃ is beneficial for reducing high blood pressure and cholesterol levels.  Necessary for carbohydrate & protein metabolism, fat & hormone synthesis, digestion, & nervous system, it also improves insulin production by preventing damage to pancreas in Type I diabetes.  Prevents oxidative damage to pancreas from activated immune cells.  

Pantothenic Acid:  Pantothenic Acid is Vitamin B₅.  It supports the metabolism of protein, fat & carbohydrates, is integral to tissue & antibody regeneration and the healing process.  Promotes healthy skin & digestion & is a precursor to neurotransmitters.  

Vitamin B_6:  Vitamin B₆  (pyridoxine), an immune stimulant that supports neuro & vascular function, is involved in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids, including essential fatty acids. This vitamin is especially important in dependent enzymes (over 60) that are involved in amino metabolism.  Pyridoxine converts DOPA into dopamine, a critical neurotransmitter.  Maximizes the conversion to noradrenalin in the brain metabolism and the synthesis of carotene in the brain.  This vitamin promotes the absorption and utilization of B₁₂, the production of insulin, adrenaline, anti-bodies and white blood cells.

Vitamin B₁₂:  This vitamin is a complex crystalline compound that functions in all cells, but especially in those of the gastrointestinal tract, the nervous system, and the bone marrow.  It is known to promote the development of red blood cells in higher animals.  It is essential for the functioning of all body cells, nerve & brain cells, & fat/protein synthesis.  A deficiency or subtle insufficiency (not necessarily reflected by anemia) is now known to result in memory loss, personality and mood changes and fatigue.

PABA: PABA, the "vitamin within a vitamin", occurs in combination with folic acid. PABA enables bacteria to synthesize folic acid. Protein breakdown and utilization and red blood cell formation depends on PABA.

Folic Acid:  Folic Acid promotes the synthesis of collagen & nucleic acid, is essential for red blood cell formation & amino acid metabolism.  Has cardiovascular benefits. 

Inositol:  Inositol, a simple carbohydrate found in the brain & central nervous cells, metabolizes fats & cholesterol & supports the transporting of fat in the blood system. It is required for proper formation of cell membranes, promotes the redistribution of body fat, the lowering of cholesterol levels, is implicated in improving the transmission of neural signals, a member of the B-Complex group & is a lipotropic agent.  It supports the stabilizing of cellular structure, treating gray or thinning hair, promotes cell growth in the muscle, relaxation, relief from anxiety and stress, and provides antioxidant support as a scavenger of free radicals.

Vitamin E:  This antioxidant, immune support vitamin protects from free radical damage, raises HDL & maintains skin collagen, cardiac, micro-vascular, eye, nerve, skeletal & muscle health.  Improves blood glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. May also prevent onset of diabetes.  Prevents oxidation of LDL, improving cholesterol control.   Vitamin E is an inhibitor of oxidation processes in body tissues.   

Vitamin C:  Vitamin C, an immune support ingredient, helps iron absorption, promotes collagen synthesis & is a strong antioxidant (preventing free radical damage).  It is linked with reduced risk of arthritis, asthma, cancer, cataracts, cognitive impairment, macular degeneration, impaired immune system & coronary disease.  Dr. Linus Pauling pioneered research on this essential vitamin.  Is promoted for wound healing, collagen formation, cancer prevention, endocrine & cardiovascular system, immune function & in diabetics promotes eye health.  It is one of the least toxic substances known & any unused Vitamin C is eliminated quickly. 

Minerals & Trace Minerals

Coral Calcium:  Coral contains all of the minerals that are required by the body.  In fact, it contains over 70 that are naturally found in both Coral and Kelp.  Both of these ingredients are found in PP.  Calcium, one of the four basic electrolyte minerals that help our body maintain pH balance and fluid balance, works with factors for blood clotting, is needed for the release of neurotransmitters, muscular contractions & includes blood vessels related to hypertension.   Required for absorption of Vitamin B₁₂.  It is linked with reduced risk of osteoporosis & hypertension.  Trace Minerals (that are predigested in Coral Calcium and Kelp) are synergistic elements, or keys, to making the major minerals and vitamins react appropriately in the body for sound nutrition building.  This product ensures that you have all of the trace minerals that you need.  There is no need to rely on products that are made from colloidal sources which are not as readily available.               

Magnesium:  Magnesium, one of the four basic electrolyte minerals that help our body maintain pH balance and fluid balance, is needed for the health of bones, relaxation of muscles, regulation of body temperature & energy, the reactions of ATP, 300 enzymes & for nerve & overall muscle function.  It is linked with reduced risk of abnormal heart rhythms, coronary disease, heart failure, diabetes and in combination with calcium has been shown to work to prevent hypertension & osteoporosis.  Magnesium is essential for calcium utilization. Calcium stimulates the muscles to contract & magnesium allows them to relax. As magnesium disappears from the muscles, calcium rushes in & the muscles tend to become tense or cramped.  

Zinc: Zinc, a vital component of SOD (superoxide dismutase) & involved with the functioning of over 80 enzymes, assists with sexual well being and acts to support immune function.  It is found in especially high concentrations in the prostate, supports normal prostate function and size, and is considered a sterilizing agent.  Zinc is associated with protein synthesis & supports the immune system by regulating production of T cells.  It is essential to wound healing, tissue growth, insulin, reproductive organs & healthy blood.  It is essential for normal function of many enzymes.  It increases general anti-oxidant status of the body. 

Selenium:  Selenium, an anti-cancer, immune boosting mineral, is the cofactor for glutathione peroxidase (GPx). GPx is most active in liver and removes peroxides formed by free radicals, especially at low concentrations.  This is an antioxidant with activity as a free radical scavenger & works in harmony with vitamin E.  It is important for growth & development.

Potassium:  Potassium, one of the four required electrolytes, reduces blood pressure & may reduce the risk of hypertension.  It is required for ion exchange as an electrolyte, cellular penetration, alkaline balance, and muscular & body growth.  It supports clear thinking by sending oxygen to the brain. Charges in the exchange between the sodium & potassium are essential for brain function and intercellular movement.   

Silicon: The importance of dietary "Silicon" in the proper maintenance of human health cannot be overestimated.  Silicon is the second most abundant element on earth. It is a trace mineral required for integrity of skin, ligaments, tendons and bone and for the proper functioning of prolyhydroxylase (an enzyme) that is responsible for the formation of collagen in bone and elastin, cartilage and other connective tissues.  Silicon is important for maintaining healthy skin, hair and nails.  When lacking in silica the following symptoms are exhibited: cardiovascular and arterial problems, fragile bones, joint deterioration, digestive disorders and weakened gums and teeth.  Some scientists believe that silica is as or more important than calcium in maintaining bone strength. 

Antioxidants and Prostate Support Factors

Alfalfa Leaf Juice Powder (33:1):  Alfalfa products have been successfully tested for lowering cholesterol levels in the bloodstream and removing plaque from arterial walls.  Alfalfa contains Octacosanol, a policosinol.  Octacosanol may lower cholesterol by inhibiting the liver’s production of cholesterol and inhibit LDL cholesterol.  The Alfalfa is a 33:1 juice concentrate of Alfalfa that is grown high up in the mountains in Utah, in rich soil that is not treated with chemicals.  The land is on a crop rotation program and therefore the ground is mineral rich and we harvest Alfalfa high in protein and all of the other beneficial nutrients.  After harvest, we use only the leaves, which are rinsed, juiced and dried at a low temperature, so as not to hurt the phytonutrients, but to keep them totally intact for use by our bodies.  When fresh fruits, vegetables, grains and grasses are freeze-dried or dried at high temperatures (pasteurized), the original chain in the food is fractured and the nutrient is damaged.  Alfalfa is a rich source of all minerals (especially calcium, magnesium, potassium phosphorus, and iron in their most digestible form), fluoride in a natural form and most beneficial trace minerals, fiber, all vitamins (A as beta carotene, B6, B12, C, D, E, K & U) the eight essential amino acids, protein, enzymes, essential fatty acids, antioxidants such as chlorophyll, Octacosanol, Saponins, Carotenoids, flavones, isoflavones, sterols, coumarin derivatives, phytosterols and other phytonutrients!  In addition to providing over 65 nutrients & over 100 phytonutrients, Alfalfa is extremely alkalinizing. 

Alpha Lipoic Acid:  Better known as Alpha Lipoic Acid, this super antioxidant recycles the vitamin antioxidants, promotes the normalization of blood sugar, reduces the incidence of cataracts, prevents free radical damage in the nerves & eyes, improves energy metabolism in the brain & chelates heavy metals.  

American Ginseng Extract (10%):  Native American tribes have historically used American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) for various ailments, including sexual and immune function disorders.  A strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, it acts as an adaptogen (balancer), is loaded with phytonutrients and traditionally used to relieve conditions that occur from stress and infection, improve endurance, vitality, blood pressure, cardiovascular function, blood sugar levels and alertness, promote energy levels, enhance memory, endocrine function and mood.  Ginseng may possibly exert mild hormonal effects, increased oxygen uptake, and may benefit those with erectile dysfunction.  Ginseng enhances brain and central nervous system function; hinders cancer cell reproduction; improves digestion, sexual desire and performance, mood, and stress tolerance; increases resistance to infection; lowers "bad" low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol and triglycerides and raises HDL (good) cholesterol; neutralizes free radicals; promotes protein synthesis and inhibits protein breakdown; protects against carcinogens; against physical and mental fatigue, the liver against toxin exposure; tissues against radiation exposure; acts as a blood purifier; stimulates circulation and the adrenal glands.  During the 18^th Century the Chinese began to import American ginseng, as the constituents vary from ginseng grown in Asia.  Most of the American ginseng harvested in the US is exported to Asia.  (As a result it is more expensive than the ginseng grown in Asia.)     

Apple Cider Vinegar:  This nutrient contains rich ingredients, 93 vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other compounds. Recent studies have indicated that it may be helpful to the prostate.  It has an alkalizing effect in the body. 

Barley Grass:  Another alkaline forming whole food, barley grass is an SOD containing over 110 of the nutrients required by our body.  It is high in chlorophyll, contains protein as polypeptides, 18 amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, & electrolytes.  This is important because we can gain trace amounts of whole food components, such as Catalase, Arginine, Cytochrome oxidase, Aspartic acid, Dnase, Glutamic acid, Hexokinase, Malic dehydrogenase, Nitrate reductase, Isoleucine, Nitrogen oxyreductase, Leucine, Peroxidase, Lysine, Peroxidase catalase, Phosphatase, Phenylalanine, Phospholipase, Proline, Vitamin F, Polyphenoloxidase, Serine, Rnase, Threonine, Vitamin P, Tryptophan, Transhydrogenase, Tyrosine & Valine. 

Beta Sitosterol:  Beta Sitosterol, derived from plants & grasses, is known for its effect in prostate function.  Many of us realize that men have traditionally used Saw Palmetto and Pygeum Africanum for prostate function and may not have heard of Beta Sitosterol.  This is the most important phytonutrient found in these two herbs for prostate function.  We naturally use the herbs and there extracts as well to insure we have all necessary phytonutrients in our formulation.  Beta Sitosterol is also found in most vegetables.  This ingredient also promotes healthy triglyceride and cholesterol levels and studies show it contains antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and antimicrobial activity.      

Blue Green Algae:  Blue green algae is harvested from pristine waters to provide a range of easily assimilated phytonutrients, including caretonoids, chlorophyll, amino acids, essential fatty acids, enzymes, trace minerals, sugars, protein and vitamins.  We add this, kelp, spirulina and other whole foods to our formulations as synergistic factors to pick up micronutrients that are many times unrecognized but provided by nature to supply us with those in case we are lacking them in the diet. 

Blueberry Powder:  Our blueberry juice powder is from chemical free sources.  Blueberry contains Flavonoids, anthocyanins and phenolic acid.  Flavonoids support the cardiovascular system.  These berries contain ellagic acid, a trigger for apoptosis of cancer cells in the prostate.  This excellent “self destruction” trigger may be found in cranberry, strawberry, boysenberry, blackberry and cherry as well.  Blueberry also supports neurotransmission function and assists the functioning of the urinary and alimentary tracts.

Bromelain:  Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme, is a plant-based (pineapple primarily) anti-inflammatory.  It has a broader range of pH activity, to better promote digestion of food & remains active throughout the entire digestive tract.  It is, therefore, extremely bioavailable.  Since it is not specific, it can promote the break down of a wider range of proteins.  Additionally, plant based enzymes do not interfere with natural functioning in the body & have no side effects.  As importantly, it promotes healing of inflamed & injured tissue.  It has been found to reduce postoperative swelling, swelling, bruising & to reduce pain.  It has also been found to be effective for patients suffering from sinusitis.  It is a natural blood thinner. 

Burdock Root:  Traditionally used as a blood purifier, Burdock Root is also used in popular herbal remedies for cancer.  It is alkalinizing and contains anti-fungal and antibacterial properties, vitamins, minerals and tannins.  It stimulates immune function, restores gall bladder and liver function, supports urinary function, and relieves gout, cystitis and skin disorders.   

Capsicum: Capsicum works as a catalyst to enhance the performance of other herbs.  It has been used to relieve inflammation, stimulate energy, for digestive complaints (other than ulcers), and is rich in vitamins C and A.  This ingredient has been used in herbal medicine formulations for centuries.  It is a source of many vitamins and minerals that support the healthy flow of the blood.  It is considered to be a cardiovascular support ingredient. 

Carrot Powder: Carrot powder is a vegetable juice powder that is high in beta carotene and other antioxidant properties.  Research indicates that carotene plays a role in reducing inflammation, especially related to cardiovascular function.  Other carotenoids work in the body synergistically with carotene, such as Lutein, Lycopene, and Zeaxanthin. By including whole vegetable juice powders in our formulation we are sure to include a broad spectrum of caretonoids as well as other phytonutrients for optimal benefit. 

Cat’s Claw:  Cat’s Claw contains plant sterols, oxindole alkaloids, triterpines, quinovic acid glycosides, proanthocyanidins, polyphenols, and other phytonutrient properties.  This herb, used in South America for prostate conditions, has properties that function as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-viral, anti-tumor adaptogen.  It may increase circulation, stamina and energy.  Reported uses include support for blood pressure balance, gastrointestinal system, immune system, cancer, Crohn’s, parasites, inflammatory conditions, viral and respiratory distress, arthritis and Rheumatism. 

Citrus Bioflavonoids:  Flavonoids (Quercitin, Rutin, Hesperidin) promote the absorption of Vitamin C and are linked with the reduced risk of coronary disease & inhibition of cancer-cell growth.  Citrus Bioflavonoids contain terpenes, linked to reduced risk of cancer & promote healthy microcirculation which is very helpful for the prostate. 

CM - Cetyl Myristoleate from wild nutmeg:  This is a plant based fatty acid ester with beneficial prostaglandins that improve cell permeability and blood flow, reduces inflammation, acts as an immune adaptogen and may reduce pain and tenderness.  Since this is an immune adaptogen it is highly desirable in autoimmune function disorders.   

Co-Enzyme Q-10:  CoQ-10 (Ubiquinone) is a fat-soluble molecule that has been studied to support patients with diseases such as: cardiovascular, breast cancer, hypertension, periodontal, and many others.  It is involved in the electron transport function allowing the electron to be converted to ATP.  CoQ-10 creates energy at cellular levels, is a component of mitochondria (our energy factory), boosts immunity, supports weight control, protects against free radical damage, boosts immune function, and has been used in Asia in cancer treatment.  Without CoQ-10 the mitochondria cannot convert energy.  Studies have shown that in patients with cardiac disease the CoQ-10 levels were about 25% lower than in patients without cardiac disease.  Supplementation has been found to be therapeutic in about 70% of patients. 

Cranberry Powder: Cranberry, like blueberry and other berries, contain ellagic acid that triggers apoptosis in prostate cancer cells.  Additionally, this all natural fruit juice powder has lots of other phytonutrient benefits, including the ability to promote bladder health, supports the body in the prevention of infection  spreading from the bladder to the prostate, and may support the prevention of urinary tract infection.    

Cruciferous Vegetables:  Dithiolthiones are organosulfur compounds that are abundant in cruciferous vegetables.  These strong antioxidant vegetables contain enzymes that support the body in fending off carcinogens and other outside invaders. They promote a strong immune system and may inhibit the development of cancer.  Cruciferous vegetables also contain isothiocyanates & indoles, linked to retardation of the growth of breast cancer.  It is well documented that the phytonutrients present in cruciferous vegetables support a wide range of benefits to the body, including detoxification, antioxidant protection, and support for those who have had radiation or chemotherapy.  In addition to the cruciferous vegetables in this formulation, we have included Indole-3-Carbinol with DIM, which are extracts from cruciferous vegetables.  You may ask why.  We want to insure that in addition to the specific benefits of I-3-C and DIM, you receive the benefits from all of the phytonutrients in our cruciferous vegetable blend.

Curcuma Longa:  This herb, commonly known in the United States as Turmeric, is related to ginger.  It is high in antioxidant properties, eight times more powerful than Vitamin E, and therefore can be used as any antioxidant would.  It is used in the East as an antiviral, anti-parasitic, anti-microbial & antiseptic.  Traditional uses include fighting all kinds of infection, support for the intestines, to relieve bronchial asthma, to promote normalization of bowel movements so that chronic diarrhea and other intestinal problems including flatulence may be reduced.  It is also used for support in the treatment of:  jaundice, liver ailments, cholesterol control, anemia, parasites, inflammation, cold and flu symptoms, ulcers, bruises, and digestion.  It has been shown to lessen the degree of kidney lesions in diabetics.  It has also been shown to have protective activity for those on chemotherapy and has been reported to inhibit cancer incidence in studies with animals.   

Diindolymethane (DIM):  This extract from cruciferous vegetables is typically paired with Indole-3-Carbinol.  The combination is used to clear xenoestrogens from hormone receptor sites in the body.  Xenoestrogens come from touching paper, plastic, styrofoam and other petrochemical based items.  Breathing polluted air, being around chemicals or just plain living can cause these xenoestrogens to block your hormone receptor sites and then your own hormones do not function appropriately.  When you take these substances they clear the sites and detoxify the body.  Many people comment on how thirsty they get when taking these phytonutrient extracts.  We encourage you to drink lots of high pH spring water when taking this formula.  Studies indicate that the combination of I-3-C and DIM have stopped tumor growth.  It is also reported to be helpful for atherosclerosis, to support the metabolism of estrogen and testosterone, to support the body in the prevention of cancer (especially estrogen induced), to reduce or eliminate DNA damage, and to decrease free radicals. 

Garlic (deodorized): Known for its immune support, antioxidant, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory qualities, garlic is great and can be used for its many other properties.  Garlic, like onions, contains phytonutrients that include Quercitin, allicin, cysteine and selenium.  These promote detoxification and target prostate cancer cells.  Additionally, it is reportedly used for parasites, infections, spasms, cramps and the common cold.

Ginger Root:  Ginger contains the phytonutrients that support cardiovascular activity and improves circulation, that fights prostaglandins & supports joint health, reduces the excessive stickiness of platelets, reducing atherosclerosis.  It increases stamina, relaxes peripheral blood vessels, supports the body in fighting colds, colitis, digestive disorders, flu & gas; and it helps increase the secretion of saliva.  In India, this ingredient is used to restore the body's optimal operating temperature.  This improves the body's ability to resist infections. 

Ginkgo Biloba:  This herb is used worldwide for vascular support, improving circulation, memory, cognitive and mental function and oxygenation.  Circulation issues are a concern for diabetics, those with insulin sensitivity and inflammatory distress.  It is used in treatment of erectile dysfunction due to arterial insufficiency.  This herb is rich in antioxidants and Bioflavonoids and they work to reduce free radicals in the brain and body.  The Bioflavonoids also reduce platelet aggregation and promote bioavailability.  Ginger has reportedly been used for depression, asthma, hearing loss and tinnitus.   

Grape Seed Extract (95%):  One of natures most powerful antioxidants, this plant extract is loaded with proanthocyanidins, that are more than fifty times more powerful than vitamin E. Uses include elimination of free radicals, increase in circulation, strengthening of the capillaries, reduction of inflammation, repair of damaged tissue, improvement of the cardiovascular system, helping to repair damaged tissues and restoring flexibility to arthritis damaged joints.  

Green Tea Extract:  Green Tea is a Bioflavonoid, high in Quercitin, epigallocatechin gallate and polyphenols (catechins) that are strong antioxidants.  Studies from Purdue and other places have shown evidence that it can inhibit enzymes required for cancer cell growth and that cells underwent apoptosis as a result.  Green Tea may be effective in the prevention of heart disease.  Oxidation of LDL is considered to be important in the acceleration of atherosclerosis.  Green Tea protects against oxidation.  In Asian countries about three cups per day of the tea is consumed.  There is a lower incidence of negative cholesterol profiles in these countries.  This Bioflavonoid has been shown in preliminary studies to lower total cholesterol levels and improve the profile.   

Hawthorne (Crataegus oxyacantha): Called the heart herb, Hawthorne is believed to reduce high blood pressure, increase circulation, control palpitations and heart beat. It is a strong natural vasodilator.  Findings indicate an anabolic effect on the metabolic process. 

Indole-3-Carbinol (I-3-C):  I-3-C, a glucosinolate from cruciferous vegetables, is more effective when it is combined with DIM.  This combination is used to clear xenoestrogens from hormone receptor sites in the body.  Xenoestrogens come from touching paper, plastic, styrofoam and other petrochemical based items.  Breathing polluted air, being around chemicals or just plain living can cause these xenoestrogens to block your hormone receptor sites and then your own hormones do not function appropriately.  When you take these substances they clear the sites and detoxify the body.  Many people comment on how thirsty they get when taking these phytonutrient extracts.  We encourage you to drink lots of high pH spring water when taking this formula.  Studies indicate that the combination of I-3-C and DIM have stopped tumor growth.  It is also reported to be helpful for atherosclerosis, to support the metabolism of estrogen and testosterone, to support the body in the prevention of cancer (especially estrogen induced), to reduce or eliminate DNA damage, and to decrease free radicals.

Kelp:  Kelp is the most bioavailable substance that contains over 50 trace minerals.  We include this important ingredient to give the body all of the natural trace minerals that are required.  Kelp forests occur in cold, nutrient-rich waters & normally are restricted to temperatures less than 20ºC.  Kelp was the original source of iodine, being discovered by Courtois in 1812. Iodine does not occur in nature in the uncombined condition, but is widely, though sparingly, distributed in the form of iodides of sodium and potassium, in seawater, some seaweeds, and various mineral and medicinal springs.  It is a very rich source of natural vitamins, minerals, and essential trace minerals, containing iodine, iron, sodium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, potassium, of vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D and E, plus amino acids.  Kelp is especially high in iodine & provides the most natural base of potassium, sodium & magnesium that will be immediately usable by the brain to facilitate ATP function & fluid & nutrient movement.  It is alkaline forming in the body. 

Lycopene:  Lycopene is a carotenoid that is found in tomatoes, red peppers, watermelon, pink grapefruit, guava and other vegetables and fruits.  It has been studied extensively for its positive effect as a strong antioxidant.  It is most widely known today as a supplement for protection from breast and prostate cancer and is being studied for use in patients with lung, pancreas, colon, esophagus, oral cavity, cervix and stomach cancer.  It has also been studied for its role in retarding oxidation caused by LDL cholesterol.  Studies indicate that 60 mg per day of Lycopene for 3 months have resulted in a reduction of LDL an average of 14%.  In people with atherosclerosis the levels of Lycopene tend to be low.  Carotenoids also play a role in cardiac health, have anti-inflammatory properties, may protect against radioactivity, and are considered by many the most effective quencher of singlet oxygen free radicals discovered to date.  Studies have shown that Lycopene may help prevent Alzheimer's.   

Milk Thistle Extract: Milk Thistle is an herb that contains Flavonoids, including .  Silymarin, an antioxidant, enhances liver function, reducing the presence of free radicals in the liver and supports the liver by inhibiting the entrance of toxins and heavy metals which could otherwise interfere with normal liver function.  Most liver toxins produce damage by free radical mechanisms.  Silymarin stimulates protein synthesis to accelerate the regeneration and production of liver cells, having a restorative effect on the liver.  The liver detoxifies the body from toxins and poisons, including the natural toxins in food, and synthetic chemical substances in food, water, and air. It is involved in the regulation of blood fat and sugar levels, and every aspect of metabolism. It is considered the third most important organ, after the brain and the heart.  Additional benefits of milk thistle includes: protection of blood cells, inhibition of oxidation of the cell membrane in red blood cells, acting as an anti-inflammatory, beneficial effects of T-lymphocytes, immunity enhancement, encouragement of bile secretion and reduction of the manufacture of cholesterol in the liver, protection against hepatitis and cirrhosis.  Silymarin has also been tested in animals for its ability to protect the kidney from damage due to drugs such as the chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin.  With all of the antioxidant activity in the ingredients in this formulation, we have included the milk thistle extract to promote detoxification. 

MPS 200X (Mucilaginous-Poly-Saccharides):  MPS from Aloe is a natural substance that acts as an immune adaptogen in the body and is therefore used in autoimmune response conditions.  It supports the body in destroying unwanted cells and increases T cell activity.  It is a free radical scavenger and its ability to move freely throughout the body makes it a particularly important ingredient.  It may be used with symptoms of cancer, Parkinson's Disease, heart disease, and arteriosclerosis.  It is also good at promoting the detoxification of your system that may occur from environmental pollutants.  It is an anti-inflammatory. 

Nettle (Utica dioica) Root Extract (standardized to 5%):  Prescribed in Europe for reducing the symptoms of benign prostate hypertrophy, this anti-cancer herbal extract is known to inhibit the binding of testosterone related proteins to its receptor site on prostate membrane cells.  It prevents the manufacturing of excessive prostaglandins and supports healthy prostate size and function.  In Europe many studies of this bioflavonoid rich herb in various formulations have been performed and that it acts synergistically to enhance other herbal extracts, such as Pygeum Africanum.   

Onion Powder:  Allium vegetables are known to contain phytonutrients (such as Selenium, Allicin, S-allyl cysteine, and Quercitin) that reduce cancer risk and studies indicate that allium vegetables target prostate cancer cells.  Reported uses include detoxification from toxins and parasites, and support from infections, spasms, cramps and the common cold.

Organic Vegetable Juice Powder:  In addition to the benefits of allium vegetables and cruciferous vegetables, we have included a blend of over 15 vegetable juice powders to supply the broad range of phytonutrients our body needs and mother nature provides.  In this busy world, we rarely take time to eat the required daily amount of fruits and vegetables.  While the amount in this formulation cannot replace all that we need (6 – 9 servings daily), it can supplement our diet so we are not missing phytonutrients we may need for body repair. 

Passion Flower Extract (4:1):  Passion Flower, extremely popular in Europe, contains alkaloids (harman, harmine, harmaline, harmol, harmalol), flavonoids (apigenin, luteolin, quercitin, rutin), flavone glycosides, sterols, sugars, and gums.

Phosphatidylcholine (PC):  Phospholipids are abundant in the brain.  PC promotes brain metabolism & that activates the biosynthesis of structural phospholipid in the neuronal membranes, increases cerebral metabolism & acts on the levels of various neurotransmitters, including serotonin, acetylcholine, norepinephrine & dopamine.  It is the primary membrane component of nerve cells, supporting brain, circulation and nerve function. 

Pine Bark Extract (95%): This antioxidant extract contains polyphenols that are known as OPCs.  OPC’s are traditionally used for treatment of skin, venous support, vision, collagen support, as a free radical scavenger and for arthritis.  OPC’s are considered to be extremely strong in their antioxidant activity.  This formulation contains a variety of antioxidant support factors to insure a broad and full spectrum for your best protection. 

Pumpkin (cucurbita pepo) Seed Extract:  Pumpkin seed extract is a great source of Beta Sitosterol, Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s), copper and Vitamin E.  EFA’s support prostate health by promoting free urinary flow.  Beta Sitosterol is known for its effect in prostate function.  This is the most important phytonutrient found in these two herbs for prostate function.  This ingredient also promotes healthy triglyceride and cholesterol levels and studies show it contains antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and antimicrobial activity.  Animal studies indicate that Pumpkin seeds may offer BPH relief due to its ability to improve the function of the bladder and urethra.      

Pygeum Africanum Bark Extract (13% Beta – Sitosterol):  Pygeum Africanum, a South American herbal remedy, is another great source of beta Sitosterol and Pentacyclic Terpenes.  It assists in management of BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and Prostatitis.  It acts to reduce inflammation, to have a decongesting effect, to inhibit the conversion of testosterone to DHT, and therefore provides increased circulation to the prostate, increasing urinary flow and decreasing urgency.          

Raspberry Powder:  Like Blueberry, this fresh fruit antioxidant, is from chemical free sources.  Raspberry contains Flavonoids, alkaloids, organic acids, iron, citrate, vitamin C, magnesium, calcium, manganese, potassium and tannins. Flavonoids support the cardiovascular system.  In January 1999, it was reported in Cancer Weekly Plus, that the fruit of raspberry may be a cancer prevention food.  Ellagic acid, as in blueberries, is very high in raspberries and blackberries.  At the Hollings Cancer Center at the University of South Carolina a study was conducted and participants took one cup of raspberries per day for one year.  At the conclusion researchers reported that eating red raspberries may prevent cancer by inhibiting the cell division and promoting apoptosis (normal death of healthy cells). 

Red Clover Extract (4:1):  Red clover contains molybdenum, an important trace mineral that promotes the elimination of nitrogenous waste (due to protein metabolism) from the body.  Since the toxins can build acidic conditions that contribute to inflammation and degenerative conditions in the body and prostate, it is protective in its action daily to clear toxic waste from metabolic processes.   

Saw Palmetto Extract (25%) and Saw Palmetto Powder (Serenoa repens):  Saw Palmetto is another good source of Beta Sitosterol, promoting the health of the prostate.  In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties (that promote urinary flow and comfortable urination), the ingredient has antiseptic properties and promotes the inhibition of the conversion of testosterone to DHT.  It is thought that saw palmetto may support the elimination of DHT via the inhibition of 5-alpha reductase.  In combination with other herbs it is used to treat Prostatitis and it helps to maintain prostate size.  Saw Palmetto also has been used for increasing sperm production and sex drive in men, improve digestion and assist in regulation of glandular activity.  Recently a review in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) indicated that Saw Palmetto extract is as effective in treatment of BPH as Proscar, without side effects.   

Shark Liver Oil Extract (26% Alkoxyglycerls, 30,000 AIU/gm):  This extract is used in cancer therapy to inhibit formation of new blood vessels that feed tumors.  It also acts as an anti-inflammatory & to treat muscle disorders.

Spirulina:  This blue-green algae is a significant source of vitamins, protein, minerals, essential amino acids and GLA (gamma Linolenic acid).  It has been used widely for extra energy and strengthening immune function.   

Terminalia Chebula Extract:  The alkaline forming extract of this fruit is used in Ayurvedic medicine to decrease cholesterol levels.  It has antioxidant, antibiotic, antifungal properties and astringent constituents (chebulinic acid, gallic acid, tannic acid).  It acts as an antibiotic agent against various infections including Influenza, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella & E. coli.  Studies in 2001 suggest an anti-anaphylactic property, possibly supporting the body in reducing allergy reaction.  This herbal extract contains ellagic acid, a trigger for apoptosis of cancer cells in the prostate or the body.   

Valerian Root Extract: Valerian helps relax muscles, promotes sleep without narcotic effect and allays pain.   

Wheat Grass Juice:  Wheat grass juice contains essential nutrients in our quest to build health and prevent cancer, including chlorophyll, enzymes, protein, vitamins, minerals, SOD, catalase, beta carotene and more.  Enzymes are touted in the Journal of Longevity to promote cancer prevention and fight the disease.  This juice is used for a variety of ailments and prevention including impotence, cancer and cancer prevention, asthma, arthritis, constipation, heart disease, kidney and urinary tract problems, purifying the blood and liver, rebuilding blood stream, improving blood sugar disorders, reducing high blood pressure and a vast array of other actions.

Essential Fatty Acids

Borage Extract (GLA 10%):  This is a plant based, water-soluble form of Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) and has a 10% GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid, an Omega 6) content.).  It contains Omega 6 and 3 Fatty Acids including GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid), Linoleic Acid, Oleic Acid, Palmitic Acid and Stearic Acid.  This is the most potent form of GLA found in nature.   EFA's cannot be made by the body and must be consumed.  They are found in very high concentrations in the brain because they are needed for normal brain function and development.  These are also essential for immune system functioning & cell metabolism.  They form prostaglandins that promote relaxation of muscles, enhance blood flow by promoting relaxation of the blood vessels.  GLA is frequently deficient in people with atherosclerosis.  GLA has been used as a supplement for those with heart disease; stroke; hardening of the arteries; high cholesterol; MS; high blood pressure; PMS; brain, breast and prostrate cancer; malignant tumors; diabetes; pain and inflammation. Linoleic Acid is used in the synthesis of other essential fatty acids. 

DHA/ EPA:  DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (Eicosopentaenoic Acid) are Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids.  They promote the reduction of blood triglycerides, serum cholesterol, blood pressure, oxidative stress, pain and inflammation from arthritis; and supports heart and muscle contractions, cell membrane structure, vision, brain function, neurotransmission and healthy skin and hair.  Omega 3 fatty acids promote the dispersing of saturated fats and they are associated with changes in risk factors for atherosclerosis and heart disease.   

Amino Acids 

Glycine:  Glycine, in conjunction with Alanine and Glutamic Acid (in this formulation) work together synergistically, may help relieve the symptoms of BPH.  It is found at a high level in the prostate fluid.  It is also known to support the synthesis of hemoglobin and to stimulate growth hormone.

L-Alanine:  Alanine, in conjunction with Glycine and Glutamic Acid (in this formulation) work together synergistically, may help relieve the symptoms of BPH.  It is present in prostate fluid.  Alanine is a stimulant for the immune system and lymphocytes, reduces fatigue and may be used for hypoglycemia.  It is an energy support factor, used to build protein.  This amino acid may be helpful in seizure disorder.   

L-Glutamic Acid:   Glutamic Acid, in conjunction with Glycine and Alanine (in this formulation) work together synergistically, may help relieve the symptoms of BPH.  In addition to supporting prostate health, this amino acid is used to counter depression, improve mental capacity, support healing of ulcers, supply energy, reduce sugar cravings and alcohol cravings.  

L-Lysine:  Lysine is needed as a building block for all proteins, is used to inhibit viral infections such as herpes, and in the repair of tissue.  It may also support the reversal of atherosclerotic deposits.  Because it is an essential amino acid, you must take it in food or supplements, because your body does not make it.  Lysine is a factor in the formation of collagen which is used to form connective tissue, cartilage and bone.  It has been found to promote the healing of viral infection, asthma, kidney disease, Parkinson’s, and to support thyroid function.   

L-Proline:  Proline has been used to promote the reduction of blood pressure, to promote the reversal of atherosclerotic deposits, to promote the healing of soft-tissue injury and connective tissue, to support joint and musculoskeletal health. 

L-Taurine:  Taurine is made in the body and absorbed from food.  Diabetics, infants & vegans have been found lacking in Taurine.  This amino acid serves many function including promoting the clearing of free radical waste, required for transportation of magnesium & potassium into the cellular structure, the normal functioning of the heart, gallbladder, eyes, and vascular system, in the brain, taurine acts as a neurotransmitter that inhibits anxiety, & promotes the stabilization of cell membranes that are important in controlling epileptic seizure.  Taurine stimulates the release of Interleukin-1 for immune support, is an important factor in bile production and fat metabolism and supports healthy blood pressure.
