Ultra Natural Prostate
with 5-Loxin and Standardized Lignans,
60 softgels
- by Life Extension
$28.50
Ultra Natural Prostate Formula contains the most
scientifically substantiated nutrients to help protect the prostate gland and
maintain its healthy function. The formula contains standardized lignans from
flax and Norway spruce trees. These lignans convert to enterolactone in the
intestine that is then absorbed into the bloodstream where it provides
significant biological effects. Enterolactone has demonstrated antiestrogen and
anti-DHT effects that are of particular importance for the aging prostate gland.1-3
The other active ingredients in Ultra Natural Prostate
Formula are:
- Saw palmetto extract. A number of normal
biological events in aging men affect prostate function and structure. Saw
palmetto has been shown to interfere with DHT activity in the prostate,
inhibit the alpha-adrenergic receptor activity (to support normal urinary
flow), and help control inflammatory actions in the prostate gland.4,5
DeepExtract™ extraction technology ensures the most desirable and complete
bioactive profile of saw palmetto available. (DeepExtract™ is a patented,
ultra high pressure CO2 extraction technology that recovers the high molecular
weight compounds such as naturally occurring carotenoids that are left behind
by typical low pressure CO2 extractions. This state-of-the-art extraction
technology insures the most desirable and complete bioactive extract profile
available that most closely reflects the composition of premium, mature saw
palmetto berries.)
- Pumpkin seed oil. Using an advanced
supercritical CO2 extraction process, Ultra Natural Prostate with 5-LOXIN® and
Standardized Lignans now provides a more potent pumpkin seed oil that is
standardized to 85% fatty acids. This new extract provides another rich source
of fatty acids to complete those found in saw palmetto. The majority of high
quality pumpkin seed oil supplements on the market only use cold-pressed oil,
not a CO2 extract.
- 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. 5-LOXIN® is a
patented extract from the boswellia plant that has been shown to suppress
5-lipoxygenase in addition to other proinflammatory factors.6-10
- Nettle root extract (Urtica dioica).
Testosterone converts to estrogen at higher rates as men age. Prostate cells
are sensitive to estrogen’s growth stimulatory effects. Nettle root helps
support prostate cells against the excess estrogen levels.11
- Pygeum. Normal aging results in levels of
certain prostaglandins increasing in the prostate gland. Pygeum africanum
extract helps suppress these prostaglandins, keeping the prostate gland placid
and promoting prostate comfort.12
- Beta-sitosterol. The most biologically active
constituent of pygeum is beta-sitosterol. Beta-sitosterol from other plant
sources is included in this prostate support formula.13
- Cernitin®. This European pollen extract has been
shown to relax smooth muscle tone of the urethra, counteract DHT, and help
regulate inflammatory reactions.14-18
- Boron. In addition to helping protect bones,
this mineral has been shown to slow elevation of prostate-specific antigen (PSAs)
— a benefit seeming to occur as a result of boron’s positive effect on the
presence of protein-degrading enzymes in the prostate gland.19,20
- Lycopene. This carotenoid associated with
tomato’s red color helps maintain healthy DNA gene function in prostate cells.21-25
Ultra Natural Prostate Formula provides scientifically
validated standardized plant extracts that have been shown to promote healthy
prostate function. No other prostate protection formula provides such a broad
array of nutrients to support the multiple factors involved in maintaining a
healthy prostate gland.

More Information:
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.
