An imbalance of testosterone can lead to both prostate enlargement and balding. This common stimulatory hormonal pathway involves derivatives of testosterone, namely DHT (dihydrotestosterone). With this stimulation comes a cycle of undesirable prostate and hair follicle irritation. Eventually, this can lead to undesirable health outcomes.
Fortunately, the Eniva Men’s Rx formula takes a multi-faceted approach by addressing hormonal balance, the irritation cycle and by providing specific nutritional support for both the prostate and hair follicle.* This formula incorporates powerful research-based phytonutrients from both Western and Chinese traditions. The result is a safe and effective nutritional formula no male should go without.*
Science-based Nutritional Support for Men
Eniva Men’s Rx is a science-based men’s health nutraceutical that is doctor formulated with natural ingredients to:
* Support the health and size of the aging male prostate*
* Support healthy urinary flow and normal urinary frequency*
* Promote healthy bladder function*
* Encourage healthy hair follicles and male hormonal balance*
* Provide nutritive support for hair growth, fullness and strength.*
* Promote hormonal balance in testosterone and DHT pathways.*
* Support sexual health*
Prostate Statistics
* 50% of men over age 40 experience prostate problems.
* By age 70, over 60% of men will have an enlarged prostate gland. At age 80, this number increases to 85%.
* 70% of adult men will have to make lifestyle changes due to an enlarged prostate, necessitating a visit to their physician.
What is the Male Prostate?
* The prostate is a small organ approximately the size of a walnut.
* It lies below the bladder (where urine is stored) and surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder.
* The prostate plays a key role in proper sexual function and also helps protect against bladder infections.

* Hardening

Complementary Approach
Many physicians are now recommending complementary therapies in addition to classical treatments for BPH. The mainstay of these therapies are nutraceuticals containing botanical extracts.
A Complementary Approach
A key stimulating and potentially irritating hormone to both the prostate and hair follicles is a derivative of testosterone known as dihydrotestosterone, or DHT. Other male (androgenic) factors also play a role. Once simulated, the irritation cycle leads to damage of tissues.
Numerous studies have yielded positive data regarding the clinical efficacy of phytonutrient substances. A significant benefit of these substances is their low side effect profile*. The following leading complementary phytonutrients and substances have demonstrated supportive research specifically related to men’s health:
Saw Palmetto
* Extensively researched and clinically supported, it plays a role in testosterone metabolic processing and promoting healthy DHT balance
– Data suggests it may mildly augment the action of 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT.*
Beta-Sitosterol
* A purified plant substance that is the main active sterol found in saw palmetto, pumpkin seed, and pygeum.
* Similar action in the prostate and hair follicle to saw palmetto and pygeum.
Pumpkin Seed Oil
* Phytonutrient substance containing several major groups of active constituents: essential fatty acids, amino acids, phytosterols (i.e. beta-sitosterol), minerals and vitamins in their natural whole food matrix state.
* Additionally supports the health of the bladder and urethra.*
Evening Primrose Seed Oil
* Evening Primrose Seed Oil contains gamma linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid the body converts to a helpful hormone-like substance called prostaglandin E1 (PGE1)and may also independently posses properties that promote healthy testosterone metabolism.*
Pygeum
* The extract of evergreen trees in central and southern Africa has three main constituents: Phytosterols (including beta-sitosterol, Pentacyclic terpenes and Ferulic esters. These substances play a role in combating irritation, and may influence testosterone and DHT binding.*
Nettle
* The nettle leaf has anti-irritation actions.*
A Positive Impact with Natural Ingredients
Selenium
* Selenium has long been recognized as a potent antioxidant and has been strongly linked to promoting healthy cellular replication.*
Zinc
* Zinc is found in high concentrations in the human prostate gland. It plays a role in the normal physiologic processes that help promote a normal functioning prostate gland.*
Biotin
* Biotin, a water-soluble B vitamin, acts as a coenzyme in the metabolism of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. It has also been shown to support healthy hair, skin and nails.*
Grape Seed
* Grape Seed Extract is an antioxidant that contains natural bioflavonoids which help augment irritation cycles.*
Ho Shou Wu
* Ho Shou Wu Root is considered a powerful botanical that possesses antioxidant properties that support the health of skin when exposed to sunlight. Ho Shou Wu has long been used as a Chinese botanical to support hair health and growth.*
Silica
* Silica is found in high concentrations in connective tissues in the body, such as skin, hair and nails. Silica provides nutrient support for healthy hair, shine, and strength.*
Lecithin
* Lecithin supports cellular integrity and healthy body tissues, such as skin and hair.
When Will I See a Difference?
* Most studies indicate a noticeable difference will be seen between 4-6 weeks. At a minimum, an individual who is integrating a complementary approach should stay on their program for at least 6 weeks before evaluating whether or not there has been improvement.
* As always, be sure to include your personal professional health care provider in the decision to use complimentary nuetracutical products.
* It is recommended that individuals who have liver problems/disease do not consume products containing herbal components unless first checking with their qualified healthcare specialist.
