Description
Trade name:

Compound:
Each soft gelatin capsule contains:
Pumpkin Seed Oil 300 mg, standardized 35 – 68% linoleic acid
Saw Palmetto Fruit Extract 88 mg, standardized to 23% Lauric Acid
Zinc sulfate monohydrate 41.14 mg, equivalent to pure zinc 5 mg.
Properties:
Pumpkin seed oil components, having antiandrogenic properties, reduce prostate cell proliferation, normalize its function by improving microcirculation and anti-inflammatory action. High content of tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma, sigma isomers) and carotenoids has a pronounced antioxidant effect, inhibiting lipid peroxidation processes in biological membranes.
Serenoa repens fruit extract is a non-competitive inhibitor of type 1 5-alpha-reductase. It disrupts the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, stimulating prostate cell proliferation. It has antiandrogenic properties that selectively manifest themselves at the level of the prostate gland. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect, reducing prostaglandin synthesis by inhibiting phospholipase A-2 activity and releasing arachidonic acid. Reduces capillary permeability and vascular stasis, reduces swelling and inflammation in the prostate, eliminates compression of the bladder neck and urethra, improving urodynamics. Has antiestrogenic activity. Helps reduce the intensity of symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and reduce its size.
Indications:
A dietary supplement to relieve symptoms of prostate adenoma (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and prostatitis.
Method of administration and dosage:
Prostate adenoma and prostatitis: one capsule per day.
Contraindications:
Hypersensitivity to the components of the drug; children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
With caution: for patients with gastrointestinal diseases.
Precautions:
– Patients with hormone-dependent cancers should exercise caution and consult a physician regarding the use of saw palmetto extract due to its antiestrogenic and antiandrogenic effects.
– If you are taking hormonal or adrenergic medications, your dosage may need to be adjusted because saw palmetto extract is believed to have estrogen, androgen, and alpha-adrenergic blocking effects.
– Saw Palmetto extract relieves symptoms associated with prostate adenoma and does not affect the size of the prostate gland.
– If symptoms worsen or do not improve, or if there is blood in the urine, or if there is acute urinary retention, consult a doctor immediately.
Side effects:
From the digestive system: rarely – dyspepsia, diarrhea.
Others: allergic reactions.
