EHL: The Essentials of Healthy LivingSM
Prostate Health
Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is a very common condition that affects many men over the age of forty. Symptoms include increased urinary frequency, nighttime waking to empty the bladder, and a weak stream during urination. Clinical trials support the use of herbs and nutrients to address the hormonal and inflammatory changes associated with the aging process. Some minerals, essential fatty acids, and amino acids are also suggested to help discourage prostate inflammation and enlargement.

Essential Products for Prostate Health
Prostate Support Formula
Clinical studies show that extracts of saw palmetto, stinging nettle root, and pumpkin seeds are important nutrients supporting prostate health and reducing prostate enlargement.

This formula addresses the hormonal changes and symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH).

Lycopene
Lycopene has the highest overall antioxidant activity of any of the carotenoids and is about twice as effective as beta-carotene. Recent studies suggest that tomato-derived products rich in lycopene are strongly linked to better prostate health and overall immune system health. Pathway LYCOPENE is made from Lyc-O-Mato™ tomato extract — a natural extract of standardized lycopene that comes from an innovative and exclusive non-chemical extraction process. This unique process ensures you are getting all of the other beneficial bioactive molecules as they occur naturally in tomato.
Optional Products for Prostate Health
Indole-3-carbinol (I3C)
Indole-3-carbinol (I3C), a substance found in some vegetables (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, etc.), and its metabolite, di-indolylmethane (DIM), exhibit protective powers against prostate cancer. This formula contains betaine hydrochloride and ascorbic acid that create the acidic conditions necessary for I3C's cancer fighting substances to function optimally.
Green Tea
Green tea extract is rich in free radical fighting antioxidants, notably a substance called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG has been shown to significantly protect DNA from free radical damage and induce prostate cancer cell death. Pathway GREEN TEA EXTRACT is manufactured under strict European quality control standards and is standardized to provide the optimal level of 50% naturally occurring catachins.
