For many years, most medical and health-related research
was done solely on men, and it was assumed that women
had the same health problems and needs. We now realize
that this is not true. The symptoms and progression of diseases
differ between men and women due to their unique
physiology, and both genders may benefit from different
health strategies. One concern exclusive to men involves the
prostate.
Saw Palmetto Berry ExtractTraditional saw palmetto has been used for general wellness for the past 200 years, and recent research in relation to saw palmetto extract and prostate health has been extensive. The saw palmetto oil extract found in ReAssure SP is derived from the berry of the saw palmetto tree found in the southeastern United States. The extract is rich in fatty acids and phytosterols, which are a type of lipid found in plant cell membranes. AIM’s saw palmetto oil contains sitosterol and campesterol. These two plant sterols may block the absorption of cholesterol through the intestine [1]. Many poor quality supplements use saw palmetto berry powder instead of the berry extract in order to keep costs down but, in turn, this alternative only provides a fraction of the benefits. As men age, they may experience inflammation of the prostate gland (prostatitis) or benign pros tatic hyperplasia (BPH – non-cancerous prostate enlargement). According to figures from the Cleveland Clinic, half of all men will have symptoms of BPH by the age of 50, and that number increases to 80 percent by the age of 60.
Zinc CitrateClinical evidence indicates that cancerous prostate cells contain less zinc than healthy prostate cells and that healthy men have much more zinc in the prostate than in other soft organs, such as the liver and kidneys. Although the reason for this is not clearly understood, zinc’s natural abundance in the prostate of healthy men suggests it is an important natural defense. Studies have shown that zinc inhibits 5-alpha-reductase (similar in action to saw palmetto and pumpkin seed extract) and the secretion of some estrogens (also linked to prostate issues). In addition to prostate benefits, zinc also is an essential component in the body’s enzyme process, acting as a stimulant for nearly 100 different enzymes. ReAssure SP provides 15 mg of zinc (as zinc citrate) per serving, which is 100 percent of the daily recommended intake.LycopeneLycopene, a carotenoid, may hinder the growth of prostate cancer cells. Harvard University conducted a six-year study of 50,000 men and concluded that those who ate foods containing high amounts of lycopene were up to 45 percent less likely to develop prostate cancer. As an antioxidant, lycopene helps neutralize free radicals that can contribute to prostate cancer and other cancers. ReAssure SP provides 5 mg of natural lycopene (from tomato extract) per serving.How to useTake 2 capsules daily with food, a few hours before or after taking medications.
