Prostate Support
Over half the male population between the ages of 40 and 59 suffers from prostate enlargement, and more than a quarter of men over 50 have cancerous cells in their prostate.
The most common chronic prostate disorders are:
* Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate
* Prostate cancer, the most common malignancy among U.S. men (the fourth most common internationally)
Age-related changes in sex hormones contribute to prostate disease. Testosterone levels decline after age 40, while dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and estrogen levels increase. DHT stimulates cell growth and thereby contributes to prostate enlargement, while estrogen inhibits DHT elimination, producing the same effect.
Prostate cancer has been called the number one cancer that can be prevented by diet. Western countries that emphasize animal-based foods such as red meat, dairy, and eggs, have a higher incidence of prostate cancer. Diets rich in fruits and vegetables, on the other hand, help protect against prostate disease. Ray & Terry's Prostate Support contains a special blend of vitamins, minerals and herbs that work together to support prostate health.
Saw Palmetto is a small shrub native to the southeastern United States, whose berries have been used by Native American Indians for centuries to treat urinary problems. Saw palmetto contains a number of bioactive compounds, which act synergistically to assist in treating the symptoms of benign prosthetic enlargement.
Tea has been made from saw palmetto berries for many decades to relieve symptoms of BPH. The main action of saw palmetto is to block the 5-alpha reductase enzyme from turning testosterone into DHT. There is also some evidence that saw palmetto may serve as an aromatase inhibitor blocking the conversion of testosterone into estrogen. Historically, saw palmetto has been used to treat urinary dysfunction, prostatic inflammation, impotence, infertility, testicular atrophy, menstrual cramps and acne. It also has been found to be useful as a expectorant, mild sedative, appetite stimulant, anti-inflammatory and thyroid enhancer.
Many good studies have shown that saw palmetto is clinically effective at shrinking swollen prostates. Permixon is a standardized extract that is used extensively in Europe. In a French study, Permixon was compared to Proscar (a prescription 5-alpha reductase inhibitor). The two compounds were equally effective on 1096 participants over 26 weeks. The group taking saw palmetto had significantly less erectile dysfunction, however. None of the studies to date have shown any significant side effects or toxicity from saw palmetto. Occasionally, mild abdominal cramping is seen when first starting the supplement. Saw palmetto use does not interfere with measuring PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen), a marker for prostate cancer. The recommended dosage is 320mg/day.
Stinging nettle is a traditional herbal remedy for prostate disorders. Clinical studies indicate that the herb can relieve the symptoms of BPH. Stinging nettle root may prevent or delay the growth of prostate cells. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties.
Beta-sitosterol is a plant compound commonly found in soybeans that has been shown to relieve and eliminate the symptoms of BPH. Research indicates that it may lessen inflammation and block the accumulation of cholesterol in the prostate gland.
Selenium is a trace nutrient that is essential for prostate health. Studies have shown that selenium supplementation can reduce the risk of prostate cancer by more than half. The recommended intake is 200 micrograms per day.
Vitamin E also inhibits cancer growth, and may assist in prostate health. Selenium and Vitamin E work together as antioxidants to protect cells from damage leading to cancer.
Zinc is used more in the prostate than in other body parts and helps enhance prostate health. Supplementation with zinc may reduce prostate enlargement.
Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant reported to not only prevent prostate cancer, but to help reduce existing tumor size.
Dosage: 3 capsules per day or as directed by your healthcare provider. A typical dosing schedule is one capsule in the morning and two in the evening.
Ray & Terry's Prostate Support contains 90 capsules per bottle. Ray & Terry's Prostate Support is equally effective when taken with or without food, however, if your digestive system is sensitive, you may want to take your supplements with meals.
