Health Condition/Prostate Formulas (2)

The prostate gland is located around the urethra, and an enlargement can result in some annoying symptoms, such as frequent urination, particularly at night, pain and burning on urination, and difficulty in starting and stopping urination. Many men find relief from some or all of these symptoms taking Saw Palmetto.

It is estimated that sixty percent of middle-aged men suffer from prostate problems. The prostate is a small golf ball sized gland of the male reproductive system. It is located below the bladder and in front of the bowel. It\'s main function is to produce fluid which protects and enriches the sperm. A non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, known as benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), often occurs with age, and interferes with the passing of urine in approximately 25% of men over the age of 55, and 50% of men over the age of 75. This is when the prostate grows and places pressure on the urethra (the tube in which the urine leaves the body), causing urinary concerns for men, such as decreased urinary flow, a feeling of incomplete emptying and interrupted urine flow, and going more frequently during the day as well as getting up at night to urinate. Natural help for BPH include vitamins, minerals and herbs to provide essential nutrients and help reduce inflammation and the size of the prostate gland. Free radicals are everywhere, they are produced when stressed, eating fatty foods, smoking, drinking alcohol, or living in environmentally polluted areas. For the prostate, this can result in accelerated tissue damage. Thompson\'s Prostate Manager is the new leader in prostate health. Its dual action formula goes beyond just simply supporting the symptoms of an enlarged prostate, by also protecting the prostate cells from damaging free radical oxidation. The carefully selected scientifically validated level of antioxidant ingredients in Prostate Manager are: Selenium, Vitamin D3 and Zinc.This formula also contains the clinical dose of Lycopene to exert targeted antioxidant activity. Clinical studies suggest that doses starting at 75mcg of Selenium will support the health of the prostate cells by providing potent antioxidant protection. Zinc is an important trace element for cellular health and has an important role in the male sexual organs by supporting the function and operation of the enzymes involved in these processes. Saw Palmetto is one of the most clinically researched herbs show to support the symptoms of an enlarged prostate. The addition of herbs Pygeum and Nettle root complement the action of Saw Palmetto in combating symptoms of an enlarged prostate.
