Cistiprost Food supplement.
It is a valid support towards the functional protection of the prostate and bladder.
Lapacho (Tabebuia Avellanedae)
Of this plant the intermediate part of the bark is used to treat various ailments. The antiseptic activity of the Lapacho extract (Tabebuia Avellanedae) and its 18 components has shown inhibitory properties towards gram-positive bacteria (staphylococci, streptococci), and also towards gram-negative (brucella) and fungi (candida albicans). The active ingredients of Lapacho (Tab. Av.) Interfere with the energy and enzymatic production of pathogenic microorganisms and viruses, causing their death. It has also been found that "lapachol" and the other components (quinones, naphthoquinones and anthraquinones) are able to exert immunostimulating effects on granulocytes, macrophages and lymphocytes. Furthermore, Lapacho exerts an antioxidant effect through “carnasol”, one of its most active constituents, which inhibits free radicals and inflammatory leukotrienes. As reported, Lapacho (Tab. Av.) Is of particular utility and help in the treatment of acute and chronic prostatitis and benign prostatic hypertrophy.
"Crystals" lycopene
Carotenoid present particularly in tomatoes and in various species of berries, vegetables and mushrooms, it is one of the most powerful antioxidants reducing the risk of both chronic inflammation of the prostate. Accumulating, as well as in the prostate, in the adrenal glands, in the testicles, in the liver, it acts against cell proliferation and aging, which are possible causes of many diseases. A noteworthy feature is given by the type of Lycopene used in Cistiprost. It derives from absolutely vegetable extraction, coming from a fungus (Blakeslea Trispora), a method protected by a world patent, which guarantees stability for over 24 months, bioavailability, dissolution in cold water (CWD) and comfortable storage mode.
MSM (methylsufonylmethane)
It occurs naturally in animal and plant organisms and in the human body, particularly in the blood and urine. MSM has a strong pain relieving power as well as diuretic, antibacterial and antioxidant activities. An important feature is the total absence of toxicity. It also improves dysuria by reducing muscle spasm.
Curcumin
Extracted from the rhizome of Curcuma longa, it has an anti-inflammatory action, comparable if not superior to cortisone, inhibiting the production of cytokines (molecules that trigger inflammatory processes at the cellular level).
Cranberry
Traditionally used for urinary tract and bladder infections. Randomized controlled trials support its use specifically as a preventive agent in subjects predisposed to recurrent bladder infections and generally for urinary tract infections. Cranberry acts as a urine acidifier due to its hippuric acid content, but the currently most recognized and accredited activity is due to the presence of proanthocyanidins, which inhibit the adhesion of type P fimbriae of the uropathogenic strains of Escherichia Coli, this activity enhanced by vitamin C, present in Cistiprost, which leads to an enhancement of intravesical acidosis by increasing its antibacterial defenses. The content of Cranberry rich in flavonoids and phenolic acids limits the oxidative and inflammatory processes affecting the vascular endothelium suggesting that these compounds could reduce angiogenesis.
C vitamin
It acts as an antioxidant, fights bacterial infections, promotes the use of energy at the cellular level, promotes the synthesis of noradrenaline, promotes fat burning, neutralizes toxic substances, promoting their elimination and protects the cell membrane from destructive action of free radicals.
Cistiprost, with a combined and synergistic action of its specific components, covered by a patent, intervenes on the antiprostatic, anti-inflammatory, immune, anti-free radicals activity and support for anticancer prevention. It is also an adjuvant to irritation and inflammatory stages of the bladder.
