Several traditional herbs such as saw palmetto berry, Pygeum africanum and pumpkin seeds have been used to support the health of the bladder, urethra and prostate and have been subjected to modern pharmacological and clinical studies for several decades. Recent research also indicates that protecting the prostate from "oxidative stress" is essential to maintaining prostate health. Because of this knowledge, a modern and useful formula for prostate health should include both potent herbal extracts and antioxidants as its foundation. Prosta·Logic® is uniquely formulated to provide advanced nutritional support in maintaining healthy prostate function.

The key ingredients included in Prosta·Logic are:

Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens)
The fruit extract of this herb has been traditionally used to maintain healthy bladder, urethra, and prostate function. The clinical efficacy of this extract and its tolerability have been demonstrated in numerous clinical trials, including double-blind studies.

Saw Palmetto berry extract has been shown to benefit the prostate by inhibiting dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which causes prostate cells to multiply. It also inhibits the action of testosterone 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme that causes additional DHT production. Possibly most important is that saw palmetto modifies immune function in the prostate, supporting the prostate's ability to neutralize "oxidative stress" associated with prostate diseases.

Pygeum Africanum
The Pygeum africanum is a tall evergreen tree which grows around Africa. The brown bark of this plant has been used as a folk remedy for bladder health and proper urinary flow. The lipophilic extract of Pygeum africanum counteracts prostate prostaglandins, another important factor in maintaining prostate health. Clinical studies have shown Pygeum africanum extract to be particularly beneficial in maintaining proper urinary tract function.

Pumpkin Seed Oil Extract
Pumpkin seeds have long had a reputation as a beneficial dietary supplement to promote healthful urinary function. This property, of course, makes the pumpkin seed especially well suited to support prostate function. Pumpkin seed oil extract contains the essential fatty acids, which are useful for optimal prostate health. In a double-blind, placebo controlled study, a combined application of pumpkin seed oil extract with saw palmetto berry extract showed enhanced effectiveness in supporting healthy prostate function, even though the saw palmetto berry dosage was reduced.

Aged Garlic Extract (AGE)
A variety of health related benefits of AGE have been widely demonstrated. Physicians from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center at Cornell University recently found that S-allylmercaptocysteine (SAMC), a sulfur compound characteristic of AGE which is only produced during the aging of garlic, can break down dihyrotestosterone which accelerates abnormal cell growth. Both this peculiar organosulfur compound and AGE have also demonstrated antioxidant activity in studies. These effects in combination with AGE's ability to promote healthy circulation and immune function, make AGE essential for a quality a supplement aimed at providing nutritional support for healthy prostate function.

Schiff uses a supercritical fluid extract (CO2) method to concentrate the lipid fractions of Saw Palmetto berries without use of harsh solvents. Lipid extracts of Saw Palmetto berries have been standardized to free fatty acid content, although the actual active components are still under investigation. Saw Palmetto lipid extracts help support healthy prostate function, including during normal aging. Saw Palmetto lipid extracts may support prostate health by antispasmodic actions and supporting healthy metabolism of hormones in the prostate gland itself.

Lycopene is a dark red carotenoid related to beta carotene mostly found in tomatoes, watermelon, pink guavas, pink grapefruit and apricots. Lycopene is a potent antioxidant that protects cell membranes and DNA from oxidation. Lycopene helps to maintain healthy prostate tissue during normal aging.

Selenium is an essential trace element with a pimary function of activating the major intracellular antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase. Selenium supports healthy prostate tissue during normal aging. Selenium also works with Vitamin E as an antioxidant. Schiff Prostate Health uses SelenoExcell yeast selenium, the form chosen to conduct long-term human research studies.

Maintenance of adequate Vitamin D status appears very important for maintenance of prostate health during normal aging.

Prostate glands have the highest concentration of zinc in the body. Normal zinc levels in prostate tissue inhibit cellular energy production by inhibiting the utilization of citrate in the TCA cycle (inhibition of m-aconitase enzyme). Less prostate cell energy means healthy production of hormone metabolites. Maintenance of normally high levels of zinc in prostate tissue supports healthy prostate function. Zinc also counteracts damaging effects of cadmium (a toxic heavy metal) on prostate tissue. Zinc is balanced with copper.

ProsPlex is a natural formulation containing nutrients essential for male prostate health. Included in this formula are Saw Palmetto Berry Extract, Zinc Gluconate, Pumpkin Seed, Pygeum Aficanam Extract, IP-6, Quercetin and Lycopene.

Saw Palmetto has long been known for its effectiveness in the relief of prostate related disorders, such as BPH. The mechanism of action is related to the inhibition of DHT binding to cellular receptors, inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase and interfering with prostate estrogen receptors.

IP-6 is a combination of inositol (a B vitamin) and inositol hexaphosphate. Based on recent research, many experts recognize this substance as a natural anti-cancer dietary supplement. All of the cells in our body require IP-6 for healthy function. The theory is that by increasing the amount of inositol phosphates in the cells, it will make each cell, as well as the entire immune system, stronger and more able to kill abnormal cells that potentially could be cancerous.

Quercetin is a potent bioflavonoid known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-tumor actions.

Lycopene is the natural pigment that gives tomatoes, pink grapefruit and watermelon their distinctive color. It is the most highly carotenoid present in the body. Lycopene has demonstrated inhibitory effects on various cancers including prostate, endometrial and mammory cancer. A study was published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute regarding the effects of carotenoids and prostate cancer. Over 47,000 men completed questionnaires regarding their dietary intake for one year. A followup was done involving all respondents. Researchers concluded that lycopene reduce prostate cancer risk over other carotenoids because the subjects with diets high in lycopenes had lower incidences of prostate cancer.

Pygeum Africanam has historically been used in the relief of urinary tract disorders. Numerous clinical trials in over 600 patients have demonstrated the effectiveness of pygeum in the relief of the clinical signs and symptoms of BPH. Effectiveness is enhanced when combined with Saw Palmetto.

Zinc plays an important role in hormone metabolism and is a critical addition to an effective treatment plan related to disorders of the prostate. Pumpkin Seed is a rich, natural source of Zinc.

Cancer of the prostate is a common malignancy in American men, second only to skin cancer. In fact, nearly 200,000 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year. Dietary supplementation of the dietary nutrients IP-6, Quercetin and Lycopene have shown to be helpful when used for Prostate cancer.
