What can Prosta-PLUS do for Men?
Regulates symptoms of Prostatitis and Prostrate cancer
most men achieve a relief of symptoms within the first 30 days.
Any man who has a desk job and drinks copious amounts of caffeine is highly prone to develop a prostate infection. Unfortunately most family doctors don't have a clue as to what it takes to overcome a prostate infection.
Prostatitis, or inflammation of the prostate gland, can be caused by a bacterial infection or a virus. It can also be transmitted sexually, yet can just as easily develop out of a simple Irritation or activity such as bicycle riding. It can also be aggravated by inactivity.
Prostatitis is usually very painful. In some instances there is a pressing sensation, feeling a desperate need to urinate, with burning pain during urination. Sometimes pain can radiate into the lower back, scrotum and rectum.
In severe cases, the infection can move through the bladder and into the kidneys, although this is relatively rare. Often there is pus or blood in the urine, and fever is sometimes present. If you know of anyone having these symptoms, demand that your family doctor refer him to a urologist immediately.
The prostate "lives" in its own private little world, and the medications need to be specifically geared for the prostate. The usual ten day round of antibiotics will not be effective.
How do Western Practitioners Treat Prostatitis in N America ?
If the prostatitis becomes chronic, most physicians will prescribe Hytrin or Proscar. Hytrin is usually used to control high blood pressure, but will also boost urine flow. Hytrin works as a smooth muscle relaxant, and from what I understand simply masks the symptoms rather than cure them. Proscar works the same way, yet has many debilitating side effects. These side effects include decreased libido, impotence and ejaculatory disorders. Proscar is also HIGHLY toxic to the male fetus. The insert that comes with the drug contains a warning that reads:
"Exposure of Women-Risk to Male Fetus
"It is not known whether the amount of finasteride (Proscar) that could potentially be absorbed by a pregnant woman through direct contact with crushed Proscar tablets or from the semen of a patient taking Proscar can adversely affect a developing fetus....Therefore, because of the potential risk to a male fetus, a woman who is pregnant or who may become pregnant should not handle crushed Proscar tablets; In addition, when the patient's sexual partner is or may become pregnant, the patient should either avoid exposure of his partner to his semen or he should discontinue taking Proscar."
According to the 1995 Physicians Desk Reference, Proscar is highly toxic and does cause birth defects in the male fetus. Neither drug had much appeal to us as we didn't see any benefits in taking medications that only mask symptoms, yet can be so toxic and have such terrible side effects.
Almost half the male population over age 50 suffers from enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hypertrophy or BPH) with symptoms ranging from inflammation (prostatitis), to swelling, painful and frequent urination and nocturnal urination.
One in seven men over age 50 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. Prostate cancer is the second most common form of cancer among men (next to skin cancer) and the second most common cause of cancer death (next to lung cancer).
The most common treatment for prostate disease is surgical removal of the prostate. About 400,000 prostatectomies are performed every year in the United States. Unfortunately, surgical removal of the prostate can lead to impotence and incontinence and is linked to increased risk of death from heart disease.
Research has shown that enlargement of the prostate gland is caused mainly by the action of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) a powerful male hormone which is converted from the primary male Hormone (testosterone) under the influence of the enzyme testosterone 5-alpha-reductase. The FDA recently approved a drug (Proscar) that counters the action of DHT as a treatment for BPH,but Proscar is very expensive and sometimes causes severe side effects such as sexual impotence.
What is the Holistic Natural Alternative ?
Sabal Serrulata [Saw Palmetto] Extract
Urtica dioica extract
Scutellaria baicalensis extract
Radix Rehmanniae praparatae extract
Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) has recently gained widespread use by doctors and alternative health practitioners alike as a safe alternative for treating BHP. Therapeutic herbal extract treatment used for enuresis, nocturia, atrophy of the testes, impotence, and inflammation of the prostate and low libido in men.
Saw Palmetto is a "multi-site" inhibitor of the hormone DHT, which plays a major role in the development of prostate disorders. Saw palmetto inhibits 50% of the binding of DHT to receptor sites in the prostate. It also blocks the uptake of DHT into the nucleus of prostate cells, and strongly inhibits the action of testosterone 5 alpha-reductase, which reduces the conversion of testosterone to DHT.
In modern research, fat-soluble extracts of Saw Palmetto have been shown to inhibit the conversion of testosterone to dihydro-testosterone (DHT), and to block the binding of DHT to prostate cells, thus reducing prostate enlargement and inflammation.

Balancing hormones and supporting male & female glands
- To treat genital, urinary track and reproductive system
- Saw palmetto is an aphrodisiac for men and women and it is also anabolic (muscle building) and helps to build muscle tissues.

Active Compounds:
Saw Palmetto extract
Saw palmetto extract comprises of different fatty acids (Omega 3 & 6) and sterols.
They are Lauric acids,Myristic acid,Palmitic acid,Phytosterols (plant sterols) and Polysaccharides. Which reduce the amount of dihydotestosterone in the prostate. The fatty acids in saw palmetto also discourage the actions of inflammatory substances that otherwise contribute to BPH.
the constituents of Saw Palmetto:
Essential oil, Fixed oil, consisting of 25% fatty acids; caproic, lauric, palmitic & 75% neutral fats.
Sterols
Polysaccharides; galactose, arabinose and uronic acid.
Urtica dioica extract
Urtica dioica contains phytosterols that produce a powerful anti-inflammatory effect on enlarged prostate tissue. Studies show that , this dynamic "healing-duo" is so profoundly effective that it creates a fortress around the prostate that shields it from toxins and other cellular invaders
Scutellaria baicalensis - nucleus extract
Baicalein has been shown to inhibit the 5 alpha-reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), strongly associated with the development of prostate enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and prostate cancer. As such, it is reported to be potentially useful for the prevention and/or treatment of androgen-dependent (testosterone-driven) disorders, including prostate enlargement and prostate cancer.
