A New Chapter in Prostate Health

A Natural Approach
New Chapter has found that certain herbs, when sufficiently concentrated and intelligently blended, can promote healthy prostate function and normal urine flow.* Saw Palmetto, Green Tea, Stinging Nettle, Ginger and Rosemary are just a few of the herbs we supercritically extract for the role they play in long term prostate health and healthy prostate function.*

Nature’s Prostate Wisdom
Nature has provided us with an array of foods and herbs that, when sufficiently concentrated and intelligently blended, can have important effects on prostate health. You’ll find many of these foods and herbs in New Chapter’s Herbal Therapeutics. Ginger, for example, is nature’s richest source of 5-LO modulators. Green tea, saw palmetto, olive oil and many others are also natural inhibitors of 5-LO, the enzyme that plays a key role in prostate function.

Maximizing Effectiveness
While the benefits of many of nature’s 5-LO modulators are widely recognized, maximizing their effectiveness requires so much more than simply “including them” in the formulation. As always, we look to nature to seek out the world’s best source of the food, herb or plant -- preferably organic. If it’s an herb, we supercritically extract it to retain the full spectrum of nature’s powerful, health-giving phytonutrients. If it’s a nutrient, we culture it in probiotics to create a whole-food complex your body easily recognizes and absorbs. In every case, we turn to science to determine the proper ingredient combinations.

Here’s just a few examples of nature’s wisdom in prostate health and how New Chapter helps to deliver it.

Saw Palmetto & Stinging Nettle
Saw Palmetto is the most researched, effective herb for prostate health.* As a result, there are quite a few Saw Palmetto-based supplements available. However, at New Chapter we supercritically extract ours for maximum purity and then combine it with two Stinging Nettle extracts. Why? New Chapter’s two Stinging Nettle extracts provide the fullest spectrum of inflammation modulating prostate-specific phytonutrients, with demonstrated clinical benefit in conjunction with Saw Palmetto.* You’ll find each of these, abundant and pure and working together, in New Chapter’s Prostate 5LX.™

Ginger
Ginger possess 22 known constituents that inhibit inflammatory 5-LO and support prostate health and is nature’s richest source of 5-LO modulators, according to the USDA. It may also increase absorption and utilization of other nutrients and herbs by as much as 2 to 2.5 times.* These are just a few of the reasons it’s an ingredient in many of our supplements and why it’s one of the key supercritical extracts in New Chapter’s Prostate 5LX,™ which promotes healthy prostate function and normal urine flow.*

Green Tea
Among teas, the green and white varieties are known to contain the highest concentration of health-promoting antioxidants. Green tea, in particular, offers critical prostate-specific health benefits along with its 51 inflammation-modulating phytonutrients.* That’s why it’s an important ingredient in New Chapter’s Prostate 5-LX.™ We choose only the world’s finest organic green tea leaves, then extract them at the perfect temperature to ensure maximum delivery of tea's protective benefits. You’ll also find the power of green tea in New Chapter’s Green & White Tea -- one serving equals up to 5 cups of the world’s finest organic green and white tea.

Rosemary
Rosemary contains significant 5-LO modulators in addition to its numerous anti-aging constituents.* You’ll find this incredible herb in several New Chapter products, and it works together with other natural 5-LO modulators in Prostate 5-LX™ to help promote healthy prostate function and normal urine flow.*

Chinese Skullcap
Chinese Skullcap may promote normal cell growth in the prostate and contains some of the most exciting inflammation modulating molecules known to science, including baicalin, baicalein and wogonin.* This herb is native to the mountains of southwest China and was used for centuries in traditional medicine to treat excess inflammation and to support cardiovascular health.

Selenium
Selenium is a trace nutrient critical to tissue detoxification and long term prostate health, and has long been considered nature’s cell protective mineral and the premier mineral for normal cell growth and enhanced detoxification.* That’s why it’s a key ingredient in New Chapter’s Prostate 5-LX.™ You’ll also find it in New Chapter’s Selenium Food Complex™, one of our Whole Food Probiotic Nutrients, delivering selenium in its probiotic and most active form.* Most important, ours is delivered not as an isolated synthetic molecule, but within the infinite complexity of food to provide a full spectrum of nature’s health-giving phytonutrients.

Lycopene & Pomengranate
A diet rich in natural antioxidant food nutrients has been shown to scavenge free radicals in the body, which is why New Chapter offers several antioxidant-rich supplements to support prostate health.* The most important of these may be New Chapter’s LycoPom.™ Just one capsule equals the essential antioxidative constituents of 100 gm of tomatoes and over 13 pomegranates.**

Pumpkin Seed Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil
These oils have numerous prostate health benefits and multiple 5-L0 modulators.* You’ll find extra virgin olive oil in many of our formulations, and this oil’s natural compounds make it a key supercritical extract in New Chapter’s Prostate 5-LX.™
