Nutraceuticals for MenBy Pete Hueseman, RPh, P.D. In the past few years, we have seen an increasing trend among men toward healthier living and eating. The term "Nutraceuticals" was coined from the words "nutrition" and "pharmaceutical". Nutraceuticals are a substance that is a food or part of a food that provides medical or health benefits. Bellevue Pharmacy offers OTC Nutraceuticals products for men to use for Age-Management.
Prosta-Sixx™ helps to maintain healthy prostate function while simultaneously promoting natural testosterone production.
Consider Prosta-Sixx™ if you are concerned about:
Estrogen conversion
DHT levels being high
Increasing "free" testosterone
Elevating natural testosterone levels
Improving BPH
There are two main elements responsible for prostate dysfunction and BPH (Benign Prostate Hypertrophy).
1. Estrogen binding to Prostate receptors.
2. DHT receptor binding.
Prosta-Sixx™ works by five different mechanisms.
1. Saw Palmetto: A well known inhibitor of the enzyme responsible for the conversion of testosterone to DHT (active form responsible for dysfunction).
2. Chrysin: A natural inhibitor of the enzyme responsible for the conversion of testosterone to estradiol (estrogen).
3. Indole-3-Carbinol: Speeds the release of estrogen from the body by converting estrogen to safer and more easily eliminated metabolites (2-methoxyestradiol and 2-methoxyestrone). These metabolites actually behave as powerful antioxidants and estrogen receptor blockers that benefit prostate function. Also, indole-3-
Carbinol increases the amount of "free" testosterone by decreasing the amount of protein binder or "carrier protein."
4. Tribulis Terrestis: A natural herb that mimics the effect of LH (Luteinizing Hormone). LH is directly responsible for the release of testosterone from the Leydig’s cells of the testes.
5. Magnesium and Zinc: These two minerals taken in a specific ratio have been shown to elevate testosterone levels by as much as 30%.
Prosta-Sixx™ works by inhibiting testosterone conversion through the saw palmetto and chrysin. The indole-3-carbinol helps eliminate estrogen and makes testosterone more easily utilized by the body. The tribulus terrestis and zinc/magnesium also elevate the natural levels of testosterone.
** A special note to urologists or anyone on testosterone replacement therapy:
Prosta-Sixx™ is an excellent supplement to be used to alleviate some of the side effects from therapy such as BPH.**
Trans D Tropin Lotion:
First you need to understand the science and the importance of raising the HGH (Human Growth Hormone) levels in the body. It has been proven to be a significant fact in physical conditioning enhancement and Age-Management.
The following have been reported by athletes and the conditioned:
- Clinical Studies reveal 9% average strength increase (in 1 to 2 weeks).
- Shorter recovery time from exertion.
- Increased fat to muscle exchange.
- Relief of pain and stiffness from physical injuries.
- Increased sexual drive and function.
Symbiotropin™ (1)
What is Symbiotropin™?
Symbiotropin™ was developed in the early 1990’s as an anti-aging adjunct therapy to compliment growth hormone injectables. It has been very valuable in assisting doctors in their search to improve their patients quality of life, and to keep them feeling better. It is one of the leading nutraceuticals in the marketplace.
It consists of key amino acids that support repair and growth of hard-earned muscle and improve body composition. It is made with Anterior Pituitary Peptides which are ultra pure proteins and peptides derived from porcine anterior pituitary glands. Basically, they are an advanced form of glandular therapy. Glandular therapies have been used in medicine for over 100 years with great success. Common examples of other glandular therapies are taking pancreatic substances for digestive problems or taking thyroid for abnormal thyroid function. Anterior pituitary peptides nourish the pituitary gland, the organ responsible for manufacturing and releasing growth hormone.
How to get the best results from taking the Symbiotropin™
Symbiotropin™ was designed to take before bedtime, 2 to 3 hours after your last meal. Repeat for 5 days, skip two days and repeat the cycle. To really maximize the effects, follow these other lifestyle tips.
Take a multivitamin daily.
Eat a high protein diet.
Eat 4 to 6 small meals every day.
Load up on lean protein, grains, fruits and vegetables. Limit your intake of sugar and highly refined, processed food.
Exercise as often as possible. Sustained high intensity exercise is best. Remember intense is the key word.
Try to get 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night.
Meditropin™ (2)
Meditropin™ is the number one nutraceutical recommended by doctors. Also developed in the mid-1990’s, this is a second generation secretagogue that helps to improve the patients quality of life and keep them feeling their best. Meditropin contains key nutrients that help to nourish the hypothalamus and pituitary gland; as it contains the amino acids relevant to:
Building blocks of proteins and enzymes.
Hormone production.
Immune function.
Repair and growth of muscle.
Neurotransmitter production.
* Meditropin™ must be used for 3 months to see maximum benefits.
This is a stronger formula than the Symbiotropin™, with the added benefit of L-Leucine, GHRH Decapeptides (hypothalamic peptides), protein growth factors derived from colostrums and inositol hexanicotinate.
What are GHRH Decapeptides?
GHRH Decapeptides are ultra pure proteins and peptides derived from porcine hypothalamic glands. Basically they are an advanced form of glandular therapy, which have been used for over 100 years with great success. This GHRH Decapeptides in particular, nourish the hypothalamus, the central component of the neuroendocrine system which is responsible for signaling the pituitary to manufacture and release growth hormone.
