Ultra Natural Prostate with 5 Loxin and Standardized Lignans contains the most scientifically substantiated plant extracts to alleviate prostate discomfort, plus lycopene and boron to help protect the prostate and maintain its healthy function. The enlargement of the prostate gland that occurs with aging, known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), makes its appearance in most men while they are in their thirties. By the age of 80, approximately 85% of men have BPH.

The latest ingredients are standardized lignans from flax and Norway spruce trees that provide the beneficial metabolite enterolactone. Published studies have demonstrated antiestrogen and anti-DHT effects of enterolactones that are of particular importance to the prostate gland. ^1-3

The eight other active ingredients in the new Ultra Natural Prostate Formula are:

5-LOXIN™ boswellia extract. Published studies show that normal aging and poor diet cause levels of a dangerous enzyme (5-lipoxygenase) to increase, which can affect prostate cells. A patented extract from the boswellia plant, 5-LOXIN™ has been shown to suppress 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and other proinflammatory factors.^4-8
Nettle root extract (Urtica dioica) to help protect prostate cells against the excess estrogen levels so frequently seen in aging men.¹¹
Saw palmetto extract to interfere with DHT activity in the prostate, inhibit the alpha-adrenergic receptor inhibitor (to support normal urinary flow) and help control inflammatory actions in the prostate gland.^9,10*
Pygeum to enhance healthy prostaglandin function, which helps keep the prostate gland placid and promotes prostate comfort.^12*
Beta-sitosterol to provide the most active constituent in pygeum.¹³
Cernitin® to relax smooth muscle tone of the urethra, counteract DHT, and help regulate inflammatory reactions.^14-18
Boron to slow elevation of PSA and protect against protein-degrading enzymes in the prostate gland.^19,20
Lycopene to help maintain healthy DNA gene function in prostate cells.^21-25

Prevention and Treatment of Benign Prostate Enlargement

Enlargement of the prostate gland occurs in most men with advancing age and is accompanied by reduced urinary flow and increased residual urine volume. Hormonal imbalances have previously been blamed for age related prostate disorders, but other factors have been identified as causes of the benign proliferation of prostate cells (BPH) and accompanying urinary impairment caused by this condition. Men with severe BPH often use a combination of saw palmetto and pygeum to improve urine flow and bladder voiding. These men usually wake up less frequently at night to urinate.

Published scientific literature, along with ten years of reports from members of the Life Extension Foundation, show that saw palmetto extract is effective in alleviating symptoms of BPH in most men. Pygeum extract has been shown to specifically inhibit prostate cell proliferation by blocking the binding of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and other growth factors to prostate cell membranes. Pygeum has anti-edema effects that shrink the prostate gland significantly. Recent studies show it also inhibits the proliferation of prostate cells, by interfering with the activity of the enzyme kinase C that is needed by all rapidly growing benign and malignant cells.

Although more than 80% of men report improvement after using saw palmetto and/or pygeum extracts, some prostate enlargement often remains that continues to interfere with urinary flow and bladder evacuation. Urtica dioica, an herbal extract of nettle root that has been used in Germany for more than a decade to treat BPH, has been shown to reduce symptoms by 86% after 3 months of use. Learning of these studies, researchers at St. Luke’s/Roosevelt Hospital in New York conducted a study to discover the mechanism by which standardized nettle root extract relieves the symptoms of BPH. In their study, published in 1995, these scientists showed Urtica dioica inhibits the binding of a testosterone-related protein to receptor sites on prostate cell membranes. In January 1998, the Foundation made nettle root extract available in one formula combined with saw palmetto and pygeum. Saw palmetto, pygeum and Urtica dioica are approved drugs in Germany for the treatment of BPH.

Natural Prostate Formula is the first therapy that contains all three herbal extracts proven to shrink enlarged prostate glands. It attacks the common prostate condition that afflicts millions of men as they grow older via every mechanism known to reduce the size of the prostate.

This uniquely safe and effective natural formula has been designed to provide the following benefits:

Prevention of prostate enlargement with advancing age
Reduction of enlarged prostate size
Improved urine flow
Reduced urination frequency

Ultra Natural Prostate Formula provides pharmaceutical grade standardized plant extracts that have been shown in dozens of published studies to promote healthy prostate function. No other prostate protection formula provide such a broad array of nutrients to counteract the multiple factors involved in maintaining a healthy prostate gland.
