Indications and uses:
-The prevention of problems related with the prostate gland, good prostate health maintenance and relief of prostatitis
(infection and inflammation).
-The relief of the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia: a frequent desire to urinate, urinary urgency, intermittent
and weak urine flow, inability to completely empty the bladder, nocturia.
-It is also effective in the treatment of prostate gland disorders.
PROSTA is a food supplement that combines several ingredients which act in synergy and are recognized for their positive effects on the prostate gland, preventing and treating its disorders.
The most common prostate disorders are benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis and cancer. After age 40, due to hormonal changes, men usually suffer from some disorder of the prostate gland, which begins to change and enlarge (BPH), affecting urinary and sexual function.
Some of the symptoms of BPH are obstruction of the urinary ducts, the desire to urinate frequently, even at night, urinary urgency, intermittent and weak urine flow and the inability to completely empty the bladder.
The prostate develops under the influence of androgens like dihydrotestosterone (DHT), formed by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. High levels of prolactin and oestrogen increase the accumulation of testosterone, making the elimination of DHT difficult. Epidermic growth factor (EGF) also stimulates an increase in the prostate gland. Modern diets with a high sugar content can also increase a growth factor, stimulating prostate cells 4 times more than the accumulation of testosterone. Oestrogens such as estradiol, chemical products from plastics, herbicides and pesticides also stimulate prostate cells. The normal elimination of tissue cells through apoptosis is interrupted due to poor diet and toxins, and the result is often an enlargement of the prostate gland, which left untreated can eventually lead to prostate cancer.
The gland can also be affected by infection and inflammation (prostatitis), which is associated with symptoms such as pain upon urination and fever.
The pressure exerted by bicycles seats, circulatory congestion in the pelvic cavity from obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle can also be causes of prostate gland problems.
High cholesterol is also an important factor in prostate problems, since it initiates the degeneration of prostate cells which can promote enlargement of the prostate. It is therefore important to prevent cholesterol from accumulating in prostate cells.
Diet is fundamental for the prevention of prostate problems, and supplementation with nutrients that help maintain good prostate health should be considered, along with a proper diet and physical exercise.
Diverse studies indicate that certain antioxidants, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and plants can be of help.
