You’re a man over the age of 40. Your prostate has always been there for you, but you probably haven’t given this walnut-sized gland much thought. The fact is that after you reach your fourth decade, your prostate will more than likely get bigger and cause a condition known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). AIM ReAssure® SP may help to relieve the urologic symptoms associated with this annoying condition.
Bigger is NOT Better
With BPH, your enlarged prostate starts to press against your urethra (the tube from your bladder through which urine is eliminated), so several things can happen regarding nature’s call.
You may find yourself needing to urinate more often – day and night. Even so, you may not be able to completely empty your bladder. Or you may notice a weak stream of urine. Some men may be unable to delay urination while others can experience difficulty getting started or stopping. Some may find the whole process painful or see blood in their urine. BPH is not prostate cancer, but you want to take precautions to prevent it.
The exact cause of prostate enlargement has not been determined, but factors may include a high-fat diet, environmental pollutants, and a family history of BPH. The primary factor is the overproduction of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is converted from testosterone.
AIM ReAssure SP
Creating a formula of four natural ingredients that work synergistically to relieve BPH symptoms resulted in ReAssure SP. Two capsules of ReAssure SP provide the following effective ingredients in recommended daily amounts determined by scientific research:
Saw Palmetto Berry Oil Extract (320 mg)
The SP refers to ReAssure’s key ingredient – saw palmetto, a berry oil extract that may help relieve the urologic symptoms associated with mild to moderate BPH. Saw palmetto inhibits the enzyme (5-alpha-reductase) that is necessary for the conversion of testosterone into DHT. Too much DHT is considered to be one of the contributing factors of prostate enlargement and the resulting BPH.
In 1998 the Journal of the American Medical Association reported evidence that suggests saw palmetto extract improved urologic symptoms and flow measures in a study of 2,939 men with symptomatic BPH.
Pumpkin Seed Oil (240 mg)
Pumpkin seed extracts have also been used to treat symptoms associated with BPH. A 2009 study of 47 Korean men with symptomatic BPH suggested that pumpkin seed oil (and saw palmetto oil) is clinically safe and may be effective complementary and alternative medicine for BPH.
Zinc Citrate (15 mg)
High concentrations of zinc are found in the prostate suggesting that the mineral is required for the health of this gland. Zinc must come from your diet. Along with being vital for the body’s enzymatic process, zinc has been shown to inhibit the enzyme required to convert testosterone into dihydrotestoterone (DHT).
Lycopene (5 mg)
ReAssure SP provides a natural source of lycopene from tomato extract. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition (January 2008) reveals that lycopene inhibits the progression of BPH. Furthermore, the American Association for Cancer Research published a study in 1999 that provides evidence that eating tomato products and other lycopene-containing foods might reduce the occurrence or progression of prostate cancer.
So if you’re a guy over 40 who is concerned about the health of your prostate, practice prevention by taking ReAssure SP.
I’ve been taking ReAssure SP every day since it became available. I remember a time when I had to get up two to three times a night to go to the bathroom, but that doesn’t happen anymore. ReAssure SP really helps me.
