Prostate Cancer / Palmettoplex®

Palmettoplex ®

Palmettoplex Combines Phytonutrients from Three Different Herbs with Amino Acids and Antioxidants to Support Male Reproductive System Health

The prostate is a male endocrine gland, round in shape and approximately the size of a walnut. It lies beneath the bladder wrapped around the urethra. The prostate gland makes most of the fluid found in semen. The National Institute on Aging (NIA) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommends that men over the age of 40 receive an annual physical that includes a thorough prostate examination.

• Supports healthy male reproductive system function
  Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) produces berries rich in fatty acids, steroids, diterpenes, triterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and alcohols. The constituents of these berries appear to act biologically in support of prostate health.
  
  Bovine prostate Protomorphogen™ extracts are uniquely-derived nucleoprotein nmineral extracts that support prostate health at the cellular level. Prostate PMG™ extract encourages healthy cellular metabolism and cell cycling in the prostate gland.
  
  Stinging nettle root (Urtica dioica) helps support healthy urinary tract and prostate gland function. It contains phenols and sterols. Research suggests that stinging nettle root extracts help maintain prostate health at the cellular level.
  
  Pygeum africanum helps support bladder-wall flexibility and helps maintain healthy prostatic secretions for proper sexual functioning.*
   

• Supports immune system health
  Tomato powder, a source of lycopene, helps strengthen the immune system and provides antioxidant protection. Alanine, glutamine, and glycine enhance herbal efficacy. Zinc is essential to prostate gland function and also supports immune system health.*

  Contains three different herbs to provide strong and natural prostate support
  • Enlists the unique properties of prostate PMG™ extract to provide prostate gland support at the cellular level
  • Provides antioxidant protection from tomato powder
  • Combines three specific amino acids recognized for their role in maximizing herbal efficacy for prostate gland health

• Multiple nutrients from a variety of plant and animal sources
  • Extracts from bovine tissues provide nutrients and support to the corresponding tissues in humans
  • Vitamins, minerals, and nutrients from plants and animal tissues work synergistically for maximum effect *

• Protomorphogen^TM extracts are the brand name of Standard Process' extracts that are derived from nucleoprotein-mineral molecules. The Protomorphogen^TM extracts are the concentrated components of the cell nucleus responsible for determining the cellular function of the adrenal glands and the lungs. The antigenic properties of these nucleoprotein-mineral molecules promote healthy cellular division, growth, repair, and function.* Read more about them here.
