Benign Prostatic hyperplasia is estimated to affect over 50% of man in their lifetime, with advancing age bringing greater frequency. Pros-Guard provides an array of of protective herbs including Saw Palmetto Extract and African Pygeum Extract, synergistic amino acids and nutrients especially beneficial to the health of the prostrate. This formula, synergistically blended with the NT Factor tablet base enhances the potential for better absorption and rapid results. We use a range of extracts containing the glycosides & sterols to provide a full spectrum formula !Effective therapies for solid tumors remain elusive. Because of inherent and acquired resistance of tumor cells to conventional treatments and the small effective therapeutic window available treatment is difficult. For the most part combinational treatments are used. These treatments seek to induce apoptosis. Apoptosis is a type of cell death in which the cell uses specialized cellular machinery to kill itself. It enables animals and people to control cell number and eliminate cells that threaten its survival.According to one study, chemotherapy and other treatments seek to cause apoptosis in human pancreatic cancer cells (HPCC). What has been found is that such action increases cellular Reactive Oxygen Stress (ROS) production. This ROS, however, was prevented by general antioxidants. The induction of apoptosis in cancer cells also resulted in the reduction of important anti-apoptosis proteins in the cancer cells. Another study suggested that Vitamin E acts as a strong inducer of apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells. The problem with HPCC is that the normal regulators off cell growth such as apoptosis and tumor necrosis have been turned off. In one study, three antioxidants were tested separately. The antioxidants were successful in stimulating cell death in prostate cancer cells. This caused the cancer cells to actively divide. However, confluent cells were unaffected.Prostate cancer is related closely to the effects of aging in men. A shift in the balance of pro-oxidant and anti-oxidants is also associated with the aging process. This shift causes an increase in the levels of oxidative stress. Also known to be related to aging is the increase in oxidative stress. A recent research project looked at whether androgen exposure was the reason for the shift in balance. It studied the effects of androgens on various parameters of oxidative stress and antioxidant defense mechanisms.The study concluded that physiological levels of androgens are able to increase oxidative stress in androgen responsive prostate cancer cells. This suggests that this increase is due in part to and increase in mitochondrial activity. The androgens also effect intracellular glutathione levels which is important for the balance of prooxidant and antioxidant balance. What makes Pros-Guard so special??NTI's Pros-Guard is a combination of amino acids, and botanical or phytotherapies.Amino Acids -
