The prostate enlarges as a man ages. An enlarged prostate has no visible symptoms but may eventually impact urinary and erectile functions if not treated.
Four main causes of Prostate Enlargement are:
1. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) – squeezing of the urethra by an enlarged prostate
2. Inflammation (Prostatitis) – bacterial infection of the prostate that causes inflammation, difficult urination, pain (groin/pelvic area, genitals) & flu-like symptoms
3. Testosterone Therapy – any medication/supplements taken to increase testosterone levels can trigger BPH
4. Prostate cancer – abnormal growth of the prostate gland due to cancer
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is an androgen that prevents the death of prostate cells, promotes their growth and subsequent enlargement of the prostate.
Prosta is a blend of extracts from Serenoa repens (saw palmetto, a palm tree common in the US), Rye grass pollen, Stinging nettle extracts, African plum tree extracts, Lycopene-enriched extra virgin olive oil and a host of natural active compounds.
These extracts contain
anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and reduce estrogen/androgen (DHT) receptors reduction properties that inhibit enlargement of the prostate and generally improve the prostate’s health.
