What Are The Most Effective Ingredients In Jarrow Prostate Optimizer?Lycopene, as found in Jarrow prostate optimizer, is clinically proven to show remarkable results protecting prostate, skin and cholesterol . Lycopene is a potent serum antioxidant carotenoid that concentrates in prostate tissue. Saw Palmetto Berry Extract is standardized to 85-95% fatty acids and sterols such as B-sitosterol, lupeol, campesterol, cycloartenol, farnesol and phytol. Research suggests there is a link between increased exposure to sunlight and decreased risk of prostate cancer. Researchers have analyzed the men's blood, looking for several factors including levels of vitamin D, and they found that men with the highest levels of vitamin D had significantly lower overall risk of prostate cancer, including aggressive prostate cancer. Excess levels of testosterone or dihydrotestosterone (DHT), in combination with estradiol (E2) has been implicated in the uncontrolled division of prostate cells that that result in BPH. The enzyme 5 alpha is responsible for the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Testosterone, the male hormone, is at its peak during adolescence, where the decline in testosterone production typically calls into play the compensatory release of other hormones that are stimulants to testosterone production. Human skin can produce vitamin D when it is exposed to the UVB in sunlight, but UVB only reaches the ground when the sun is high in the sky. Human intake of Vitamin D from food consumption is very modest, and over 85% of Vitamin D is synthesized in the skin under the influence of UVB radiation in sunlight. Since there is a major public health thrust to reduce sunlight exposure to reduce risk of skin cancers, we may be inadvertently increasing risk of prostate and other health problems. PSA tests are used to help detect prostate cancer, and conventional therapy interferes with PSA testing by masking this early warning sign. PSA is the blood test that is often recommended to monitor prostate tumor growth, however medical science has questioned the reliability of PSA testing as a screening tool for cancer detection. The EGCG ingredient in Jarrow prostate optimizer has been known to block each stage of carcinogenesis by modulating signal transduction pathways involved in cell proliferation, transformation, inflammation, apoptosis, metastasis and invasion. EGCG and other catechin flavonoids are vulnerable to metabolic breakdown once they have entered the blood stream. The enzyme that is responsible for the metabolism of green tea is more active in some people than in others. |
