Prostate Complex

Prostate health becomes increasingly important as men age, particularly after the age of 50. Viridian Prostate complex supplements formulated specifically for men in this age group often contain a combination of ingredients that support prostate health and overall well-being. Here are some common components you might find in a prostate complex for men aged 50 and above:

1. **Saw Palmetto:** Saw palmetto extract is one of the most widely studied herbal supplements for prostate health. It is believed to help reduce the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, and incomplete emptying of the bladder, by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which can contribute to prostate enlargement.

2. **Beta-Sitosterol:** Beta-sitosterol is a plant sterol that has been shown to support urinary function and prostate health. It may help improve urinary flow and reduce urinary symptoms associated with BPH.

3. **Zinc:** Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a role in prostate function and immune health. Adequate zinc levels are important for maintaining a healthy prostate gland.

4. **Selenium:** Selenium is an antioxidant mineral that may help protect prostate cells from oxidative damage. It has been studied for its potential role in reducing the risk of prostate cancer.

5. **Lycopene:** Lycopene is a carotenoid antioxidant found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables. It has been shown to support prostate-health and may help reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

6. **Vitamin E:** Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that may help protect prostate cells from oxidative damage. Some studies suggest that vitamin E supplementation may reduce the risk of prostate cancer, although results have been mixed.

7. **Pygeum Africanum:** Pygeum africanum is an herbal extract derived from the bark of the African plum tree. It has been traditionally used to support prostate health and may help reduce urinary symptoms associated with BPH.

8. **Nettle Root:** Nettle root extract is believed to help support prostate health and urinary function. It may help reduce inflammation and improve urinary flow in men with BPH.

9. **Pumpkin Seed Extract:** Pumpkin seed extract contains compounds that may help support prostate health and urinary function. It has been studied for its potential benefits in reducing symptoms of BPH.

10. **Vitamin D:** Vitamin D is important for overall health and may play a role in prostate health. Some research suggests that adequate vitamin D levels may be associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer.

It’s important to note that while prostate complex supplements may contain these and other ingredients believed to support prostate health, individual results may vary.

Additionally, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking medications.

They can provide personalized advice and guidance based on your individual needs and circumstances.
