- Gamma, delta- and alpha-tocopherols (amrian compounds that make up vitamin E) are powerful antioxidants that protect cells from damage from external factors.The reception of isomers individually (Alfa-Tocofoferol acetate, which is sold in pharmacies) leads to the destruction of the other components and does not bring benefits to the body.In the seeds of vitamin and pumpkin it is contained in full vigor in a well absorbed form.Regular intake of the product restores and effectively protects prostate cells.
- Phytosterols (vegetable hormones), including beta-sitosterol is particularly important.This substance prevents the unchanged growth (proliferation) of prostate cells by suppressing the activity of dihydrotestosterone.
- Minerals: iron (in 100 g of almost 100% of the daily standard), copper, selenium, potassium, cobalt, zinc.
- A complex of vitamins of group V.
- Saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (omega-6, linoleic, oleic).
- Chlorophyll is a substance with pronounced antibacterial properties, anti -inflammatory and regenerative.With bacterial prostatitis, it is taken in the form of tablets.
Zinc is particularly important for the health of the prostate gland, since it regulates the activity of dihydrotestosterone - hormone, under the influence in which prostate cells begin to grow (hyperplasia develops).The prostate contains more zinc than in any other organ.With its deficiency, the membrane of the cells of the glands becomes vulnerable, local immunity decreases.
