Hammer Nutrition PSA Caps

The PSA Formula

Beta Sitosterol - This plant sterol inhibits 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone to harmful dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and aromatase, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of testosterone to unwanted harmful estrogens, estradiol and estrone.

Saw Palmetto Extract (Seronoa repens)- The extract from this plant (a creeping palm with a trunk that lies on or just below the ground surface) is arguably the most frequently used for prostate support.

Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica Root Extract 4:1) - The active ingredient in this herb-like shrub inhibits the ability of epidermal growth factor (a key in supporting healthy prostate function).

Epilobium (small flower willow) - Epilobium contains two polyphenols (Oenothein A, Oenothein B), which inhibit the 5-alpha reductase enzyme conversion of testosterone to DHT. Epilobium also inhibits aromatase from converting testosterone to estrogens, which happens in older males as they age, helping to reduced harmful DHT, estradiol. Epilobium also inhibits two types of prostaglandin 2's (especially E-2).

Lycopene - This member of the carotenoid family (it produces the red/reddish color in tomatoes, watermelon, pink grapefruit, guava & papaya) is a powerful antioxidant that protects the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) content of lymphocytes (cells found in the blood, lymph, and lymphoid tissues) from oxidative damage.

Alanine, Glutamic Acid, Glycine - These amino acids, when taken for 14 days or more, supported a healthy prostate. In order to positively affect/influence several hormonal pathways involving prostate health, these particular amino acids should be consumed 60+ minutes before other amino acids (or protein-containing foods) are consumed.
