Prostate inflammation, or better known as benign prostatic hypertrophy, or BPH, affects one out of every 4 men over the age of 50, making it the number one reason why men of this age group seek medical advice.
The signs of this condition are well known and recognized by most men. A weak stream of urine, the feeling of never quite emptying the bladder, the need to get up 2, 3 or more times every night, and the burning and irritation that goes along with everything else, all signal prostate problems.
The medications currently in use are helpful in only about 35 to 40 percent of the cases. For many men, they simply must learn to cope with the annoying and often painful symptoms or consider a surgical procedure that is certainly not without risk.
What most of these men don't realize is that there is a safe and effective, all natural program, which has proven to be effective in both preventing and controlling this condition in over 80 percent of those who have tried it.
Here at The Institute, we are pleased to offer and broad spectrum, yet aggressively targeted approach to prostate problems. By combining key amino acids together with special vitamins and minerals, we can offer extra prostate support to the time honored prostate nutrients such as saw palmetto and pygeum africanum. We round out our protocol with the natural anti-inflammatory stinging nettle leaf and lycopene, a key antioxidant, which protects the prostate from free radical damage, possibly reducing the risk of developing cancer in that organ.
