Prostate Prevention
For men, zinc shows up relitively large quanities
in both prostate gland abd seminal fluid.

Prostate consentrates more zinc in its tissues
than any other part of the body.
(estimated 10 times greater than other organs)

Adaquate zinc may be necessary to ward off the condition
known as benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH),
causes enlargement of prostate gland.
Since the prostate surrounds the urethrea
(path of the urine that is headed out of the body),
enlargement of this gland limits urine flow.

Suffers can feel constant urge to urinate maybe
frequently awakened at night for trips to the bathroom.

It appears to be necessary to keep the prostate gland healthy.
The prostate gland processes enzymes and hormones
which may reduce BPH discomforts.

Zinc inhibits biological activity
of a substance called 5-alpha-reductase.
Enzymes that produces increased levels
of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) a form of testosterone.
helps enlarge prostate can increase BPH discomfort

Zinc may slow pituitary gland's production of prolactin,
a hormone that may otherwise cause prostate to absorb
more testosterone, raising DHT level in this gland
resulting in further BPH problems.


Saw Palmetto and Pumkin Seeds
are said to prevent Prostate Cancer.
