Frequently Asked Questions about Prime™ Prostate Defense Formula:

Is Prime Prostate Defense Formula for men only? Yes. While the ingredients in this product could be beneficial to everyone, it is especially designed for a man’s body, particularly with maintaining a healthy prostate gland. Each ingredient in Prime Prostate Defense is helpful to a variety of health issues that may affect men and women, however, Prime Prostate Defense Formula was created for each of these ingredients to work synergistically to promote a healthy prostate.

How many men are affected by an enlarged prostate? In the United States, 40 percent of the male population over the age of 40 suffers from an enlarged prostate gland. It is estimated that 50 percent of American men over the age of 40 are afflicted with an enlarged prostate gland. The figure nearly doubles to 80 percent for men who are over the age of 80.

Is taking Prime Prostate Defense Formula all I need to do to maintain a healthy prostate? No. Dietary supplements alone are not the only way to promote a healthy prostate. A sensible diet, regular exercise, as well as avoiding cigarette smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, are elements of a healthy lifestyle that can contribute to healthy prostate maintenance.

I think I might have an enlarged prostate; what should I do? You should see your doctor if any of the following symptoms appear: weak or interrupted flow of urine, frequent urination (especially at night), difficulty with urination, pain or burning urination, blood in the urine, or a nagging pain in the back, hips or pelvis. These could all be signs of a serious medical condition, and you should see your doctor immediately.

Is Prime Prostate Defense Formula only for older men? No, this product is designed for men of all ages. While poor prostate health is rare in younger men, young men should be concerned with proper prostate care. The ingredients would be beneficial for all men. Men should take care of their prostate when they are younger to help maintain prostate health in the future.

Key Ingredients Found in Prime™ Prostate Defense Formula:

Understanding the prostate: The prostate is a small gland, about the size of a walnut, below the bladder in men. Maintaining a healthy prostate is critical in maintaining reproductive health, quality of life and more.

Saw Palmetto (45% free fatty acids) 640 mg Saw palmetto is an extract of the fruit of serenoa repens . It is rich in fatty acids and has traditionally been used for a variety of indications related to the promotion of prostate health. Research indicates saw palmetto may help to maintain urinary health, including frequency of urination. Saw palmetto appears to inhibit an enzyme known to convert testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Some research indicates that saw palmetto also induces cell death (apoptosis) in unhealthy cells. Saw palmetto appears to promote normal lipoxygenase (LOX) and cyclooxygenase (COX), which promote a normal inflammatory response.

Stinging Nettle Extract (0.8% beta sitosterol) 300 mg Stinging nettle or common nettle, Urtica dioica , is a herbaceous perennial flowering plant, native to Europe, Asia, northern Africa and North America. Stinging nettle research suggests that it helps maintain normal levels of 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme which impacts the conversion of testosterone to DHT. When taken in combination with saw palmetto, stinging nettle appears to promote urinary tract health.

Plant Sterols (min 40% beta sitosterol) 233 mg Research has shown that supplementing with beta sitosterol helps to maintain optimal prostate size and urinary function. Animal research on prostate health suggests that beta-sitosterol might also promote normal 5-alpha-reductase activity, the enzyme responsible for the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Research suggests beta-sitosterol might help to promote normal prostate cell production and size.

Pumpkin Seed Extract (4:1) 160 mg Pumpkin Seed Extract aids in prostate health by promoting normal urinary flow and helping to maintain bladder comfort.

Leucoselect ® - Grape seed extract (95% polyphenols) 125 mg Leucoselect is a patented grape seed extract with a well defined chemical composition supported by numerous clinical studies. Leucoselect contains high levels of polyphenols, which are substances that have antioxidant properties widely recognized to promote health. Because it is high in polyphenols, it is a very strong antioxidant. Leucoselect may help to inhibit mild inflammation associated with the aging process.

Dyer's Woad Extract (15:1) ( Isatis indigotica ) 40 mg Dyer’s Woad is a flowering plant native to the grasslands and desert zones of the Caucasus, Central Asia to eastern Siberia and Western Asia, but is also now found in southeastern and some parts of Central Europe. It has been cultivated throughout Europe, especially in Western and southern Europe since ancient times. Dyer's woad acts as a natural antioxidant and free radical scavenger. Its active component, indirubin, has also been shown to be effective in promote cell death in unhealthy cells.

Zinc Citrate 20 mg Zinc helps to maintain healthy cells within the prostate. Zinc has been shown to be important in the protection of prostate cells from the negative effects of free radicals. Within the body, zinc accumulates higher in prostate tissue than in any other soft tissue so supplementation is helpful in maintaining cellular health within the prostate.

The ingredients in this formulation were carefully selected to support prostate health. Working synergistically, each of these play a role in minimizing the negative effects of DHT, promoting healthy cell function, and inhibiting mild inflammation associated with the aging process, all helping to maintain healthy prostate size and function.
