Unbeknownst to most people, a substantial percentage of medications used in the United States contain active ingredients derived from plant sources. In Asian and European countries, physicians often write herbal-based prescriptions. Although this is not common practice in this country, there are many beneficial nutraceutical formulations available here in the United States that contain plant extracts used in traditional herbal medicine, including herbal extracts that are on the cutting-edge of research for support of optimal prostate health.

Fortunately, Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals has been at the forefront of herbal nutraceutical science, which has included the application of efficacious compounds used in traditional herbal medicine to promote healthy prostate function. These traditional "old school" compounds have been combined with "new school" compounds to create a Hi-Tech Healthcare supplement called Prost-Rx™. The prostate-friendly herbal compounds used in Prost-Rx™ include saw palmetto, pygeum, beta-sitosterol, and stinging nettle. Serenoa repens (saw palmetto) (45% extract) interferes with DHT activity in the prostate and also helps support normal urinary flow and control inflammatory actions. Pygeum afrincanum (pygeum) (12.5% extract) yields two active components (beta-sitosterol and campesterol), of which beta-sitosterol is the most biologically active. Beta-sitosterol promotes prostate health through several mechanisms, including interfering with the synthesis of aging-related increased prostaglandin formation and also by shrinking prostate tissue through the action of its pentacyclic triterpenes. Prost-Rx™ includes both pygeum and additional amounts of beta-sitosterol in its formula. Urtica dioica (stinging nettle) extract helps support prostate cells against excess estrogen by naturally reducing the conversion of testosterone to estrogen (this also enhances free testosterone levels) and also by reducing estrogen levels by inhibiting the binding of estrogen to its protein carrier- sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). Prost-Rx™ also incorporates Ptychopetalum olacoides (muira-puama) extract, Epimedium (horny goat weed), and Belizean man vine. These three compounds have also been used in traditional herbal medicine and are incorporated to increase libido and enhance sexual function that may be compromised as a result of an unhealthy prostate. Prost-Rx™ then rounds off its formulation with additional herbal compounds, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that also have been shown to support a healthy prostate, including quercitin, lycopene, Vitamins E and B-6, zinc, L-alanine, L-glutamic acid, and L-glycine.

To ensure comfort and quality of life, Prost-Rx™ is a cornerstone of a successful male anti-aging supplement protocol!
