Aging is a major contributing factor to the issues associated with prostate health. The prostate gland is a walnut-shaped gland that surrounds the urethra, for this reason, any inflammation of the prostate may result in urinary-related problems i.e. difficulty urinating, painful urination, etc. Saw palmetto has been studied and shown to help support prostate health via several different mechanisms of action. Clinical trials have demonstrated the beneficial properties of the active ingredients found in saw palmetto. Most of the clinical research done on saw palmetto has been carried out using European standardized extracts of saw palmetto. European standardized saw palmetto unlike other types, is grown, processed, extracted, etc. using the most stringent standards in the nutraceutical industry. It is b cause of these standards, that European standardized saw palmetto is able to provide the beneficial effects associated with its use.†   Features Standardized Saw Palmetto from EuroMed, a world leader in the manufacturing of European standardized herbs. Standardized to 85-95% fatty acids and sterols in a liquid softgel. Also available in 160mg potency.   Benefits Saw Palmetto Berry Extract is used to support a healthy prostate.† Its primary mode of action involves supporting healthy testosterone metabolism, in part by maintaining healthy 5-alpha-reductase enzyme activity and receptor binding.† Clinical studies have shown Saw Palmetto helps to support the normal activity of 5-alpha reductase enzyme thereby supporting normal, healthy levels of DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Saw palmetto also influences the binding of DHT to prostate cells, which helps support normal, healthy prostate cell structure and function.† In a recently published JAMA meta-analysis of 18 clinical studies involving over 3,000 men, Saw Palmetto extract was shown to provide important urologic support by promoting healthy urinary function.†   LABEL

  AlchePharma's Cranberry + D-Mannose combination offers powerful nutritional support based on two very well studied naturally occurring substances. D- Mannose at 1000 mg. Cranberry Fruit 37:1 Concentrate at 4% Proanthocyanidins  Cranberry Several studies indicate that Cranberry helps prevent UTIs of the bladder and urethra (the tube that drains urine from the bladder), especially for women who have frequent UTIs. In one study of older women, cranberry juice reduced the number of bacteria in the bladder compared to placebo. Another study showed that younger women with a history of frequent UTIs who took cranberry capsules had fewer UTIs compared to those who took a placebo. A 2006 pilot study looked at twelve women between the ages of 25 and 70 with a history of UTIs to determine if a concentrated cranberry extract could prevent recurrent UTIs. During the study of administering the cranberry extract, none of the twelve subjects had a UTI. After a two-year follow-up, eight of the twelve women who continued to take the cranberry extract reported no UTI and no adverse effects. It was concluded that a cranberry preparation with a high phenolic content may completely prevent UTIs in women who are subject to recurrent infections.  Two studies that cranberry may also prevent the bacteria Helicobacter pylori from attaching to stomach walls. H. pylori can cause stomach ulcers, so cranberries may play a role in preventing stomach ulcers.     What is D-Mannose? D-Mannose, is a simple six-carbon sugar. D-Mannose is a stereoisomer that is a mirror image of Glucose and naturally occurs as a monosaccharide (simple sugar) in fruit like blueberries and Cranberries, as well as in other plants and fungi.   Mannose exists in two forms - alpha and beta. The alpha form is mild and sweet, while the beta form is bitter. The natural manufacturing methods for Mannose results in a mixture of these two forms; yielding a product that is mildly sweet with a slightly bitter aftertaste.   How can a simple sugar like Mannose be good for me?  Studies suggest that Mannose may maintain and support a healthy urinary tract by blocking the adhesion of foreign particles to the surface of the host tissue. In most cases, foreign particles utilize tiny hair-like projections on their surface called fimbrium. Protruding from the tips of these fimbrium are glycoproteins called lectins. It's these lectins that bind to the surface tissues that line the urinary tract.  When sufficient Mannose is consumed, the excess molecules of this sugar present in the urine attach to the lectins, thereby blocking foreign particles from adhering to the tissues of the bladder and forming new colonies. The Mannose-bound foreign particles are subsequently flushed away through the urinary tract.   Does Mannose act like sucrose once digested? Although D-Mannose is a simple sugar and is absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal tract, it is absorbed in a slower rate than most sugars and is not readily converted to glycogen for storage. A substantial amount of D-Mannose is absorbed into the bloodstream and, after passing through the kidneys and bladder, is excreted into the urine. How do you monitor the quality of your Mannose? It is not certain just what is a "perfect" alpha-to beta- Mannose ratio, but an initial sweet taste indicates the ratio is sufficiently good. Mannose is analyzed to determine its purity. This is to preclude any dilution with other sugars, such as dextrose or sucrose. However, this analysis does not differentiate between the alpha and beta forms.  Does Mannose work like an antibiotic?  Mannose has no antibiotic properties and will not kill existing infections. If you have persistent burning and/or urgency symptoms, please seek professional medical evaluation to determine if these symptoms are caused a urinary tract infection.   SUGGESTED USE:  Take 2 capsules, up to 3 times per day or as directed by a health care professional.   Label

Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), a perennial herb member to the buttercup (Ranunculaceae) family. Goldenseal is native to Canada (Quebec, Canada), and Eastern United States, (Ohio River Valley, West Virginia, the mountains of North and South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and north New England and Upstate New York). Native Americans have traditionally used Goldenseal (Root & Rhizomes) extensively, for skin disorders, ulcers, fevers, internal inflammatory conditions, canker sores and stomach issues. Wild living Goldenseal has been considered as endangered due to overharvesting. Regardless of Goldenseal being rare in the wild, it is commercially grown in abundance.   The key constituents of Goldenseal found in the Root & Rhizomes of the plant are the Isoquinoline Alkaloids (Protoberberines): Berberine, Hydrastine, Berberastine, Hydrastinine, Canadine, Canalidine, Phytosterin, Albumin, Chlorogenic acid, Potassium. These Isoquinoline Alkaloids are found to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Goldenseal has shown to work synergistically when taken with supplemental Berberine, to have a more pronounced anti-viral effect and enhance its antibacterial activity. Providing Immune support [1,2]. Goldenseal contains the naturally occurring Isoquinoline Alkaloid, Berberine. Berberine is well known for its various benefits and uses. Benefits of Berberine in Goldenseal have been shown to aid in regulating cholesterol levels, regulation & lowering of blood sugar/glucose levels, lowering blood pressure, and preventing E. Coli from binding to Urinary Tract walls, which may be helpful in Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) [3].  Goldenseal is commonly combined with Echinacea to provide synergistic immune support. Goldenseal has been found to be helpful in digestive disorders, by soothing inflammation in the digestive tract, soothing acidity related to heartburn & acid reflux, which may help with ulcers. Anti-bacterial properties of Goldenseal have also been used help reduce gas & bloating from bad bacteria in the gut.   Suggested Use: Take 1 cap, 1-3 times per day or more often when in need, or as directed by a health care professional.
