PROSTA-SIXX helps maintain healthy prostate function while promoting natural testosterone production.

Two main elements are responsible for prostate dysfunction and BPH (Benign Prostate Hypertrophy):

1. Estrogen binding to prostate receptors 2. DHT receptor binding

PROSTA-SIXX works by five different mechanisms.

1. Saw Palmetto: A well-known inhibitor of the enzyme responsible for the conversion of testosterone to DHT (active form responsible for dysfunction).


                       5 Alpha Reductase
Testosterone------------------------------------------DHT
Saw Palmetto Inhibitor

2. Chrysin: A natural inhibitor of the enzyme responsible for the conversion of testosterone to estradiol(estrogen).


                        Aromatase
Testosterone------------------------------------------DHT
Chrysin Inhibitor

3. Indole-3-Carbinol: Speeds the release of estrogen from the body by converting estrogen to safer and more easily eliminated metabolites (2-methoxyestradiol and 2-methoxyestrone).These metabolites actually behave as powerful antioxidants and estrogen receptor blockers that benefit prostate function. Also, indole-3-carbinol increased the amount of "free" testosterone by decreasing the amount of protein binder or "carrier protein."

4. Tribulus Terrestis: A natural herb that mimics the effect of LH (leutinizing hormone). LH is directly responsible for the release of testosterone from the Leydig's cells of the testes.

5. Magnesium and Zinc: These two minerals taken in a specific ratio have been shown to elevate testosterone levels by as much as 30%.

PROSTA-SIXX works by inhibiting testosterone conversion through the saw palmetto and chrysin. The indole-3-carbinol helps eliminate estrogen and makes testosterone more easily utilized by the body. The tribulus terrestis and zinc/magnesium also elevate the natural levels of testosterone.

** A special note to urologists or anyone on testosterone replacement therapy: PROSTA-SIXX is an excellent supplement to be used to alleviate some of the side effects from therapy such as BPH.
