My Greek friend Dimitri informed me that the Greek word for prostate is prostatis, which means “protector.” The ancient Greeks firmly believed that the prostate was the protector of the male body.

Taken care of properly, the prostate protects us in several ways. It provides protection from bacterial, fungal, and viral infections coming through the urethra, and it provides its own unique set of hormones and hormonal interactions that make us function at peak proficiency.

A sad scenario is beginning to emerge for us. No man over 30 years old is completely immune and every man should be aware and do everything possible to nourish the “protector.”

The statistics for Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) are continuing to rise for men over 40. This is a condition in which the prostate gland swells causing discomfort, difficult urination, pinching of the urethra, retention of urine, kidney imbalances and lowered sex drive. Next BPH can lead to prostatitis. These symptoms are inflammation, low back pain, fever, pain at bowel movements and infections. The final level of BPH is prostate cancer. A new case of prostate cancer is diagnosed every three minutes in the U.S. and a man dies of it every fifteen minutes.

Protector was created to help us men prevent these oncoming possibilities, as well as increase our natural sex drive and libido. It will definitely assist in the rebalancing of BPH. BPH occurs because of stress-induced hormonal changes. these changes enlarge prostate cells and increase an enzyme that converts testosterone, which the prostate needs, into dihydrotestosterone, which it doesn’t need.

Dihydrotestosterone then competes for sites in the prostate that should only belong to testosterone. My challenge in making Protector was how to address Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPT) and at the same time increase testosterone levels. I believe I have achieved this. Prostate problems (BPH) and loss of sexual expression can go hand in hand. So, we want to maintain both aspects of our health as long as possible.

Protector probably will do very little for cancer. However, it is a support for the prostate at all levels, so I’m sure results will vary. If you have diagnosed cancer, get it treated medically. Don’t just take Protector alone.

Interestingly, we have found that Protector is very good for women with estrogen dominance problems. It seems to create a balance between estrogen and testosterone symptoms. In fact, it works extremely well for several different kinds of female hormonal imbalances.

DESCRIPTION OF INGREDIENTS

And Rationale For Usage:

1. Saw Palmetto Extract

This herb has a great amount of research and clinical applications. It inhibits the action of the enzyme (testosterone-5-alpha-reductase) that turns testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. Dihydrotestosterone contributes to enlargement of the prostate. There is clinical evidence that is may also enhance sexual functioning and desire.

2. Pygeum Africaneum Extract

German researchers report a decrease in BPH of up to 66% with this herb.

3. Hydrangea Extract

Used by the Chinese for prostate health and particularly for male potency and libido.

5. Deer Antler Gelatin

this combination of amino acids in necessary for prostate function and protection.

Extracts of stinging nettles have successfully treated BPH and significantly reduced the need to get up at night to urinate. It appears to have some inhibitory effect on the conversion of testosterone.

Since bee pollen contains every essential nutrient known to man, (see BEE The Best) I included it here because of the complexity of nutritional needs that the prostate has.
