ProStat Plus

ProStat Plus 60/120 capsules | Karuna Health - Herbal and micronutrient combination for prostate health.

ProStat Plus provides a comprehensive, synergistic blend of the standardized extracts of saw palmetto, stinging nettles, and pygeum, along with beta-sitosterol, zinc, and amino acids for support of male genitourinary function. Saw Palmetto has been shown to block the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, a known prostatic proliferative agent, and exert other anti-hormonal effects on prostate-related activity. Pygeum and stinging nettles have also both been shown to effectively support healthy prostate function. Beta-sitosterol is a component of saw palmetto and pygeum, and studies show it independently supports healthy urinary flow, as do the amino acids alanine, glycine, and glutamic acid when used together.

Pygeum is an extract of the bark of an African tree that has been successful in clinical tests over a 25-year period for supporting healthy prostate function (Curr Ther Res 1995;56: 796-817).

Stinging nettle, often in combination with saw palmetto and/or pygeum, has been successfully used in clinical trials to support optimal urinary flow and prostate function in men (BJU Int 2000;86:439-42; Urologe [B] 1996;36:292-300; Urologe 1994; 334:90-5).

Zinc is important for prostate health, and supplementary zinc may help maintain normal growth regulation in prostate tissue (Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 1999;8:887-92; Fed Proc 1976;35:361).

Beta-sitosterol has growth-regulating and anti-hormonal properties demonstrated in clinical human studies to support healthy urinary and prostate function (BJU Int 1999;83:976-83; Br J Urol 1997;80: 427-32; Lancet 1995;345:1529-32).

Early controlled clinical studies have suggested that the amino acid combination of glycine, alanine, and glutamic acid can support healthy genitourinary function in men (J Am Geriatr Soc 1962;10:426-30; J Maine Med Assoc 1958;46:99-102).
