The formula focuses on a dual core of two highly concentrated plant extracts with a long tradition of use in supporting prostate health: Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens, 45% fatty acids) and Pumpkin Seed (Cucurbita pepo, 1.5% enterodiol + 0.1% adenosine), then expanding coverage with broccoli extract (40% I3C), high-purity phytosterols (73.5% beta-sitosterol), Pygeum africanum bark extract (15% phytosterols), stable guaranteed microencapsulated lycopene, Zinc (bisglycinate) and Selenium (L-selenomethionine). Product for men from middle age. Vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, allergen-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaw Palmetto (Serenoa repens, 4:1, 45% fatty acids): the most studied plant extract for prostate health support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Saw Palmetto (a dwarf palm from the southeastern US, Serenoa repens) is the plant extract with the strongest clinical evidence base for prostate health support, with decades of research and multiple controlled clinical trials. The primary mechanism of action of Saw Palmetto fatty acids is the inhibition of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into its more potent form, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the main androgen responsible for prostate growth and the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). By inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to DHT, Saw Palmetto fatty acids can help moderate prostate growth and alleviate urinary symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate. The 4:1 extract standardized to 45% fatty acids ensures a concentration of bioactive compounds four times higher than that of the native berry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePumpkin Seed Extract (Cucurbita pepo, 20:1, 1.5% enterodiol + 0.1% adenosine): the ingredient with a health claim for the prostate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pumpkin seed (Cucurbita pepo) has a specific health claim recognised by the EFSA: pumpkin seed contributes to maintaining normal prostate function, being the only ingredient in the formula with an EFSA health claim directly related to the prostate. The 20:1 extract concentrates the most relevant phytochemical compounds of the seed, namely enterodiol (a lignan phytoestrogen with hormonal modulating activity) and adenosine (a nucleoside with anti-inflammatory properties). The high concentration of the extract (20:1) guarantees a much higher intake than would be possible through the simple ingestion of pumpkin seeds in conventional food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI3C from broccoli extract (30:1, 40% Indole-3-Carbinol): hormonal modulation and prostatic cell protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C), the most relevant glucosinolate compound from broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, has estrogen metabolism modulating properties that are especially relevant for prostate health. I3C promotes the conversion of estradiol (E2) via the 2-hydroxylation metabolic pathway (producing less active 2-hydroxyestradiol) over the 16-alpha-hydroxylation pathway (which produces 16-alpha-hydroxyestradiol, a metabolite with greater estrogenic activity that can stimulate prostate cell growth). This modulation of estrogen metabolism is the mechanism by which high consumption of cruciferous vegetables is epidemiologically associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer. The 30:1 broccoli extract standardized to 40% I3C guarantees a much higher dose of I3C than would be obtained through conventional dietary consumption of cruciferous vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhytosterols (99%, 73.5% beta-sitosterol): support for urethral smooth muscle tone and prostate growth modulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beta-sitosterol, the phytosterol with the highest representation in the formula (73.5%), has prostate health support properties independent of Saw Palmetto mechanisms, acting on urethral smooth muscle tone (reducing obstruction to urinary flow) and possibly on the modulation of prostate epithelial cell proliferation. Meta-analyses of clinical trials with beta-sitosterol in men with BPH document significant improvements in urinary symptom scores and post-void residual urine volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePygeum africanum (10:1, 15% phytosterols): prostatic anti-inflammatory of African origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pygeum africanum bark extract (African plum tree) is a second plant extract with a long tradition of use in supporting prostate health, complementing Saw Palmetto with partially distinct mechanisms of action. Pygeum africanum extract contains phytosterols (beta-sitosterol, campesterol), triterpenic acids (ursolic acid, oleanolic acid) and phenolic acids (ferulic acid). Triterpenic acids have documented anti-inflammatory properties in the prostatic mucosa, inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins (PGE2) and growth factors that stimulate prostatic proliferation. Clinical studies with Pygeum africanum extract document improvement of urinary symptoms in men with BPH, with reduction of residual urinary flow and improvement of sleep quality by reducing nocturia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicroencapsulated lycopene (10% lycopene): high-potency prostatic antioxidant with guaranteed bioavailability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lycopene is the carotenoid with the highest natural concentration in the human prostate (much higher than in other tissues), where it functions as an antioxidant protecting against oxidative stress, which is one of the mechanisms of prostate carcinogenesis. Epidemiological studies document a robust inverse association between tomato consumption (the main dietary source of lycopene) and the risk of prostate cancer. The microencapsulation of lycopene in the Prosta Care formula is essential to guarantee its stability during storage, given that lycopene is a carotenoid very sensitive to oxidation, light, and heat, which degrades rapidly in conventional formulations without protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZinc (bisglycinate) and Selenium (L-selenomethionine): essential minerals for prostate health and antioxidant cell protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e The prostate is the organ in the human body with the highest concentration of Zinc, and this mineral is essential for multiple prostatic functions including the synthesis of citric acid (a marker of normal prostatic function) and the regulation of prostate cell growth. As recognised by EFSA, Selenium contributes to normal spermatogenesis and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, being especially relevant in the protection of prostate cells. Zinc bisglycinate is one of the forms of Zinc with the highest bioavailability, while L-selenomethionine is the most stable and bioavailable organic form of Selenium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended dose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Consult the product label for the exact daily dose. Take the capsules preferably with a meal to improve gastrointestinal tolerance and the absorption of fat-soluble compounds (lycopene, Saw Palmetto fatty acids, phytosterols). Prosta Care is designed for continuous long-term use, with prostate health support effects being most noticeable after 4 to 12 weeks of regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HSN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52705356677467,"sku":null,"price":38.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/0250\/3771\/files\/HSN-PROSTACARE.webp?v=1777502127","url":"https:\/\/brothers-club.com\/en\/products\/product_bae28d2c-3a75-4e63-99f8-8ff46f043e35","provider":"Brother's Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
