Phytosterols are natural components of plant cells membrane. They have been discovered in 1922. The most important phytosterols are beta sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol. Phytosterols are found most in plant oil, seeds, nuts. Campesterol
is found most in rapeseed oil, stigmasterol – in soy beans and beans, beta sitosterol – wheat germ, corn. Phytosterols were studied for a long time. It was determined during clinical trials that lasted for 45 years that phytosterols are safe and do not cause side effects. Phytosterols can easily bind and block cholesterol receptors due to the structure similarity to cholesterol. In this way the absorption of cholesterol is decreased and elimination from the organism is increased. Phytosterols lower total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol) concentration in blood. Phytosterols are useful in case of enlarged prostate because they effectively decrease inflammatory prostaglandins concentration, improve urine stream, decrease prostate tissue swelling and residual urine volume.
Vitamin E has antioxidative properties: protects organism from free radicals that can damage organism cells, slows ageing processes, helps to maintain healthy skin. Ginseng
Ginseng is a plant local to East Asia and North America. Ginseng was first found in China 5000 years ago. It was originally used for nutrition purposes and soon it proved to have antistress and adaptogenic qualities, to improve working abilities and reduce fatigue. Ginseng is referred to as rejuvenating and strength restoring plant. Folk medicine uses ginseng root. Ginseng contains essential oils, trace elements, ferments, vitamins C and B, fitoestrogens, sugars, pectines and other substances. Curative effect has been determined by 29 ginsengosides contained in ginseng and known as triterpenic saponins. These substances have adaptogenic qualities, help to reduce stress, fatigue in addition to pain relieving, anti-inflammatory, antispasmotic qualities. Ginseng also helps to control blood sugar and cholesterol levels and normalize blood pressure. For centuries ginseng has been used as an aphrodisiac and a stimulator of sexual energy, which increases physical and sexual endurance. Ginseng extract is known to stimulate sexual potential, improve reproductive system, eliminate unpleasant menopause- related symptoms, and stimulate spermatogenesis. It also acts against impotence. The most recent data show that ginseng has positive effect on central and peripheral blood circulation and acts as a vasodilator. It improves adrenal function, boosts production of adrenaline and sex hormones, stimulates endurance and vitality, increases libido, improves condition and functions of sex organs. As an adaptogen, ginseng helps to fight with stress and anxiety, has a tonifying effect on sexual system. Octacosanol
Octacosanol increases physical endurance. The data of clinical trials show that octacosanol improves sexual activity because it has an ability to increase libido. Octacosanol increases the testosterone blood concentration (testosterone is a male sex hormone). Testosterone regulates libido and sexual function. Zinc
Zinc, which is useful for the normal functioning of prostate, can be found in the tissue of prostate. It is proved that zinc participates in the metabolism of androgens, inhibits the enzyme responsible for the conversion of dihidrotestosterone into testosterone. It inhibits the selection of prolactin, regulates the testosterone blood concentration, the amount and activity of spermatozoids and improves the functioning of prostate. Dosage
1 capsule 2-3 times a day. Scientific researches demonstrating the efficiency Ginseng
* During one study 45 men with erectional dysfunction were administered ginseng extract and placebo for 8 weeks. The treatment was discontinued for 2 weeks and continued again for 8 more weeks. Erection improved in the group that received ginseng extract compared with placebo.60% of men announced that the erectional function improved during the ginseng extract administration period. The blood testosterone concentration remained the same and scientists came to the conclusion that the improvement of erectional function was caused by ginseng, not by changes of hormones concentration. Furthermore, ginseng stimulates the nervous system that plays a special role in sexual function. ( 1/2/03 - Healthnotes Newswire—Men experiencing sexual difficulties due to inability to achieve erection may be helped by Korean red ginseng (Panax ginseng), according to a study published in the Journal of Urology (2002;168:2070–3).
* On 1997 Yale university professor Conn announced that ginseng stimulates the secretion of NO. NO stimulates vasodilatation, controls blood pressure and protects organism from the formation of blood clot. NO cause smooth muscles relaxation and improves the blood flow. An increased blood flow into men’s sex organs improves the erection. (Gillis CN. Panax ginseng pharmacology: a nitric oxide link? Biochem Pharmacol 1997 Jul;54(1):1-8.)
* Clinical trials held at Hamilton university determined that ginseng contains active substances that act as vasodilatators (dilate blood vessels, improve the blood flow into pelvis and sexual organs, stimulate the production of testosterone).
* In traditional Chinese medicine millions of men have been using ginseng for more than 5000 years. Not so long ago scientific researches determined that ginseng can increase sexual endurance for elderly people, treat impotence and increase the amount and agility of spermatozoids. (The American Journal of Chinese Medicine). Phytosterols
* Multicenter double-blind placebo controlled study with 117 patients involved revealed that after 6 months administration of phytosterols for prostate hyperplasia, the symptoms caused by prostate adenoma decreased, the urine stream increased and the life quality improved. These positive effects remained 18 months after discontinuation of phytosterols treatment. (Department of Urology, Ruhr-University of Bochum, Herne, Germany).
* Data of double-blind placebo controlled study show that the condition of 177 patients with benign prostate hyperplasia improved after the 6 months administration of phytosterols. The results were statistically reliable (P<0.01). (Department of Urology, Allgemeines Krankenhaus Celle, Academic Hospital, Germany)
* Research involving 519 men with enlarged prostate announced that phytosterols are effective in improving the urinary function, increasing urine stream, decreasing urine residual volume, prostaglandins concentration, intumescence of prostate tissue and in inhibiting the proliferation of prostate epithelium.
