Shown to improve urinary function in men with enlarged prostate
Evidence suggests it may reduce or slow hair loss in men
May promote strong immune function
Proven to support healthy cholesterol levels
Beta sitosterol supports prostate health. Clinical research reports
improvement in urinary symptoms and urinary flow in men with enlarged
prostate and evidence suggests it may reduce or slow hair loss with
age. There is preliminary research indicating that beta sitosterol may
have unique immune support functions, particularly for colon health.
A plant sterol, beta sitosterol is similar in chemical structure to
cholesterol in animal products, but instead of increasing cholesterol
levels, it helps decrease cholesterol levels. It works by inhibiting
absorption of cholesterol from food in the intestinal tract. Aside from
avoiding cholesterol-rich foods in the diet, reducing absorbing in the
intestines is the most natural way to manage healthy levels. Beta
sitosterol is one of the sterol nutrients approved by the FDA to be
added to margarines to support health cholesterol levels.
Complementary Prescriptions™ offers 100 mg of Beta Sitosterol in
vegetarian capsules, along with hesperidin bioflavonoid concentrate for
additional vascular support.
1-3 capsules taken over the day is the amount given to men in
research evaluating prostate and urinary health. More capsules can be
taken for cholesterol support*. Best taken with meals.
A Natural Defense Against the Hidden Causes of Food Intolerance
Some people can tell when a particular food they ate disagreed with
them and they will avoid it, while others have been eating foods that
have been slowly eroding their health without noticing it because they
have become used to the low grade inflammation in their GI tracts. Many
common symptoms are really the result of the lectin interactions with
our immune systems. An example of a common lectin that many have heard
of is gluten or gliadin. Some of the post-meal reactions to lectins are:
• Headaches, brain fog, lack of concentration
• Skin problems such as itchiness, eczema, and acne
• Water retention, puffiness around the eyes, extremities
• Bloating – a very common symptom
• Easy weight gain and stubborn weight loss
• Chronic fatigue and post-meal fatigue
• Chronically clearing throat and excess mucous
• Respiratory symptoms like chronic, (non-illness) coughing
• Joint stiffness and pain (particularly in the morning)
• Urinary weakness or chronic inflammation or infection
• Abdominal pain and gas with meals, excessive belching (lectins can also lower the HCL levels impairing digestion)
• Gastric reflux and upset stomach
• Irritable bowel and spastic colon
• Hyperactivity
• Sinus problems, itchy nose, congestion and post-nasal drip
• Insulin shifts affecting blood sugar balance
Lectins are specialized proteins commonly found in fruits,
vegetables, and seafood, and especially in grains, beans and seeds.
They are not degraded by stomach acid or proteolytic enzymes, making
them virtually resistant to digestion. Certain lectins consumed in
everyday foods can bind to cells in the gut and to blood cells,
initiating an inflammatory response and contributing to such problems
as digestive disorders, weight gain, post-meal fatigue and immune
challenges. Lectin Lock™ is a unique blend designed to “lock up”
problematic lectins and safely escort them out of the body. Take with
every meal for better health now as part of a program of prevention for
the future.

NAC has been extensively researched for its antioxidant properties, particularly in its potential to neutralize the chemical by-products of smoking. Its ease of conversion to both extracellular and intracellular glutathione, coupled with its stability and long half-life in the body, makes it an economical and powerful antioxidant. Recently, NAC has been found to enhance mitochondrial function.
