Arginine/Ornithine
helps stimulates the release of growth hormone, which is necessary for the proper
functioning of burning fat and putting on muscle. Current studies support the use of
arginine supplements to ensure that nitric oxide secretion is sufficient to keep blood
flowing to the penis. Nitric oxide insufficiency can stop the penis from becoming erect. |
A
study published in 1994 showed an 80 percent improvement in the erectile function of men
given 2.8 grams of arginine a day for two weeks. |
- Beta Sitosterol

|
Prostate
|
The oil constituents of a few plants, including soy beans, contain a
mixture of phytosterols, or plant hormones, called beta sitosterol. Research
suggests that beta sitosterol inhibits prostaglandin synthesis thus reducing inflammation. |
Studies validate a minimum of 20 mg. per day of beta sitosterol to increase urine flow and decrease residual urine volume
significantly. Use at least 2 to 3 months to see results. |

Flax seed oil has traditionally been recommended for men's health
care as both of these essential fatty acids are precursors of prostaglandins which
regulate blood pressure and inflammation. |

of the Omega 3 essential fatty acid, alpha linolenic acid (ALA) plus valuable linoleic
fatty acid. |

|
Prostate
Cancer, anti-inflammatory |
The
bark of this tall African tree contains lipophilic sterols, including beta sitosterol and
sitosterone plus unique fatty acids. These ingredients influence prostaglandin synthesis
to help control the damaging effects of inflammation. Studies suggest that pygeum
decreases androgen levels resulting in less prostate exposure to hormones. |
The
recommended dose is 50-100 mg two times per day. Pygeum should be monitored over at least
a six- to nine-month period to determine efficacy. |
