FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Helps alleviate symptoms of prostate enlargement.
Thompson's Prostate Manager is a high potency formulation of carefully selected herbs including Saw palmetto and nutrients to support the symptoms of a benign enlarged prostate and maintain a healthy prostate.
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 includes vitamins, minerals and herbs to provide essential nutrients and may help to 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. Saw palmetto appears to help in preventing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. Dihydrotestosterone has been implicated in causing prostate enlargement. Another possible mechanism of action of saw palmetto in benign prostate enlargement is thought to be due to its ability to reduce inflammation and swelling and reduce smooth muscle spasm.
The addition of the herb Nettle root complement the action of Saw Palmetto in combating symptoms of an enlarged prostate such as reduced urinary flow, incomplete emptying of the bladder, and the constant urge to urinate.
Stinging nettle root contain polysaccharides with weak anti-inflammatory effect and may help to reduce prostate tissue growth.
