4 Way Prostate Support

The prostate is a walnut sized gland that encircles the tube through which urine flows. When it is enlarged, it pinches this tube, so that urine flows less freely. This creates the need for more frequent urination, particularly at night, and also prevents the bladder from ever really emptying completely. By causing men to wake several times during the night, it disturbs healthy sleeping patterns.

Holistic health systems explain that prostate problems stem from blood stagnation, accumulations of damp heat in the urinary tract, and a general weakness in the Kidney System. Thus, the holistic solution to prostate enlargement must deal not only with inflammation, but also invigorate the blood, cleanse damp heat, and strengthen the function of the Kidney System as a whole.

Beta sitosterol is a nutrient that is found in saw palmetto (and other herbs that have long been used to support prostate health). However, even the strongest saw palmetto extracts provide less one mg. of beta sitosterol per day. This is why saw palmetto is ineffective for many men. Advanced Holistics 4 Way Prostate Support System provides 180 mg. of pure beta sitosterol per day, for maximum prostate support. It also provides the three amino acids (L-Alanine, L-Glycine and L-Glutamic Acid) that have been shown to promote prostate health, and synergistic levels of vitamin E, zinc, selenium and vitamin B-6. To make sure that the whole body is nourished, spirulina and barley grass juice concentrate are added. These foods contain energy that is easily liberated for use by cells throughout the body.

Amber and astragalus are commonly used in China to address common prostate problems. In a study using these herbs, 38 of 52 men reported complete relief from all discomforts, while 13 others reported substantial improvement in urine flow prostate size. One only man reported no benefit.

Boswellia and myrrh are added to resolve blood stagnation and promote circulation. Red peony and persica help soften stagnation and promote normal urination. Vacarria seed, poria and alisma promote more complete evacuation of urine, while phellodendron helps expel damp heat from the region. Coix, prepared rehmannia, cornus, moutan, wild yam and dong quai are used as tonics (astragalus and poria also double in this role) to strengthen the Kidney System and other affected areas, while rehmannia, dong quai and astragalus also nourish, strengthen and invigorate the blood. Cinnamon bark "awakens" Kidney "Yang," which is considered to be deficient when prostate problems present themselves. Achyranthes directs the actions of the formula to the reproductive and urinary tracts.
