Nutritional support for prostate health
Uro-Pro™, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is a synergistic and comprehensive combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbals, and other nutrients, carefully formulated and specifically
designed to support the healthy structure and function of a man’s prostate.
FUNCTIONS
The active ingredients of Uro-Pro™ have been shown
to positively affect the structure and function of the
prostate gland during the normal aging of men. Saw
Palmetto (Serenoa repens), aided by pygeum (Pygeum
africanum), inhibits the conversion of testosterone to its
more active, and potentially deleterious form,
dihydrotestosterone (DHT), via inhibition of alpha-5-
reductase. Saw palmetto not only inhibits the binding of
DHT to cellular receptors, but also has alpha1-
adrenoceptor-inhibitory properties.
Alpha1-
adrenoceptor antagonism may be responsible for saw
palmetto’s therapeutic effect in supporting the urinary
tract during the normal aging of men. Saw palmetto
extracts have also been found to inhibit the biosynthesis
of proinflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes
which may exacerbate those symptoms.
Supplementation with Pygeum africanum extract, in
men 50 to 75 years, significantly improved several
aspects of prostate function, including nocturnal
frequency, maximum flow and volume. Pygeum extract
decreases prolactin and cholesterol levels in the prostate,
which in turn decreases uptake and reduces the number
of binding sites for testosterone in the prostate. In
addition, pygeum extract, like saw palmetto, interferes
with the synthesis of proinflammatory prostaglandins.
Pumpkin seed is thought to have similar
pharmacotherapeutic properties.
Vitamin E, zinc, and proanthocyanidins provide potent
antioxidant protection against oxidative damage to the
prostate. The amino acids glycine, alanine, and glutamic
acid, as well as vitamin B-6 and vitamin A, have been
suggested to reduce proliferation of prostate tissue cells.
INDICATIONS
Uni-Pro™ capsules may be a useful dietary supplement for men who wish to support and maintain the healthy structure and function of their prostate gland.
SUGGESTED USE
Adults take 1 capsule daily or as directed by
physician.
