Vitamin Discount Center Standardized Saw Palmetto Pygeum Plus - 120 Softgels

Clinical studies have shown Saw palmetto to help support the normal activity of the 5-alpha reductase enzyme thereby supporting normal, healthy levels of DHT (dihydrotestosterone).  Saw palmetto also influences the binding of DHT to prostate cells, which helps support normal, healthy prostate cell structure and function.  Pygeum contains beta-sitosterol, which has been shown to help support the health of the prostate gland by its effect on the binding of DHT to prostate cells. Studies also show beta-sitosterol supports normal, healthy urine flow.  Studies on lycopene have shown it to be effective at quenching singlet oxygen radicals which are believed to cause damage to healthy prostate cells. Lyc-omato lycopene has been used in several studies demonstrating its effective support for prostate health.  Nettle root helps support the production of favorable prostaglandins, encouraging a normal, healthy inflammatory response within the prostate.
The epithelial cells of the prostate gland concentrate more zinc than any tissue in the male body. Levels of zinc decrease with age, and normal zinc levels have been shown to help support healthy prostate function.
