MEN NEED TO WATCH THIS!” [Top Supplements for Prostate Health in Men]

Added: 2026-05-12

[00:00:01]Hello and welcome back again. This is Cherry Mama Emmanuel at Spring Pharmacy and uh last time we promised to look at again supplements mainly for prostate health.

[00:00:17]And if I I'm just to take you back a little at what we discussed and looked at, we discussed what the prostate gland was and what are its functions and what are the common complications that arise with age and time and all that. But before I rush into the supplements, I wanted to give us the preamble of what we discussed. Some of you might have not watched the other previous video, but you will go and also watch it so that you know more.

[00:00:47]Uh But the preamble I'm giving today is the prostate gland is a very is a is a gland mainly in men uh that is very important in the productive health of the man. So it has also its own functions and it has also complications that arise with it and we said uh mainly when we look at that gland, it's very important in uh the productive health as in related to reproduction. So as a gland it is also has complications at the end of uh the day, which means it has issues that arise later with the age and all other factors coming in. And we said the common common complications is BPH, which is benign prostatic hyperplasia. We said there's also prostatitis, which is inflammation. And we also said there's prostate cancer that affects men with the as they age and all that.

[00:01:47]And uh we discussed more of that in the video, the risk factors relating to those other complications. We discussed what are the symptoms that you begin to see and we say that >> [clears throat] >> prevention is better than cure in all this that you have to prevent before. So, if uh we are doing this we're looking at supplements that help men in order to prevent those complications before they happen. And we say that every organ of our bodies operates through the help of one nutrient or one mineral and we we say the prostate mainly has zinc that helps to promote its function and most times when zinc begins to decline uh uh through age, there's little absorption, maybe through the foods we are eating, uh zinc is also lowered, uh complications start coming on. That is BPH uh mainly and that's the main common one. So, research has shown that supplementation that brings in zinc mainly and other antioxidants like lycopene, you'll see selenium also there. Those supplements help to lower the risk for these complications that are concerned with benign prostatic uh uh hyperplasia. And we say that BPH mainly is the increase in size and that increase will also lead to other complications, maybe frequent urination of urine frequent urination, we have complications like uh uh uh painful urination and all that.

[00:03:39]And we [clears throat] look to at all that. So, when today we wanted to look at the supplements mainly that are common on market and some that we also have at Spring Pharmacy here that you can come and you get some of them.

[00:03:52]Prevention is better than cure and uh someone once said that uh health is wealth also. So, with that, I wanted to tell you that the supplements mainly that we we will look at uh commonly having zinc as a common one, has selenium which is an antioxidant, has some have lycopene, some have what we call saw palmetto, some have what we call beta sito or something like that and all that. So, all these uh work together. Uh in pharmacy, we call it synergy.

[00:04:29]Uh synergy is when they work together to bring out a better effect than only using one or two, but if you combine all these and uh you see that there's a better effect in treating or managing conditions. So, when we're looking at uh supplements, we are talking of uh the prostate gland mainly. And I'm saying that this supplements mainly contain all those that I've just listed behind uh that I've said. And the most common examples that I have currently that and also we have at Spring is we have genaprost, which is completely herbal, picked from a plant called pro prunus africana. And then uh that is gena genaprost. And then we have Wellman Prostace, which is also one that has saw palmetto, pumpkin seed extract, and then it also has zinc, it has lycopene uh that is also working together in order to promote the health of the prostate. I said some of these supplements are antioxidants, some of them uh the minerals inside there antioxidants, some of them reducing inflammation, some of them uh help for the while uh functioning of the prostate. And so, I have listed genaprose, listed wellman processes, we have also what we call bioprostate, we have what we call prostace. And all of them, if you look at them each and if you're specifically going for supplements for the prostate, they should have the ones that I've said either zinc, lycopene, selenium, uh, pumpkin seed extract, nettle extract, it has saw palmetto, it has uh, beta sitosterol, something like that.

[00:06:24]And then we also have sinaprose active, which is also commonly now being used for management and also helping prevention and supplementing your diet specifically. Now that most times it happens that while the the common foods we are having uh, is a lot of oils, a lot of below, a lot of what and all that. I'm not saying they are bad, but at the end of the day, they don't supply enough of the supplements that the body needs to function well. More so the prostate as our main focus today.

[00:07:01]And so in looking at that, these supplements, we are not saying they are treating you, we are saying they are preventing before it happens. And that's what I always keep saying that they do not treat, but they prevent. And then they also help to because your body may not absorb everything from the foods that we are eating. So, why we bring in the supplements is that to aid uh, bringing also these other minerals that the body may not be having. If you have heard of I'm very sure if you've gone to a pharmacy, you've all seen a lot of supplements on tables or inside their cardboards and all that. And you wonder what they do and how they they do their work and all that. So, as I said, each organ specifically needs a specific supplement or needs a specific mineral to function well. If you look at, for example, the pancreas, uh the pancreas needs what we call chromium in order to produce that insulin that helps to maintain low sugar levels. If you look at the thyroid, it works very well and iodine is there. If you look at So so so so many of these organs function well with a specific set of uh minerals. If you look at the heart, they will tell you that you need to have sodium, you need to have calcium, you need to have magnesium well balanced so that also it aids its functioning very well. So, I'm not going or diverting into all that, but I'm just painting a picture that each organ specifically requires a set of minerals and of which these minerals are important for their functioning. And if there's a deficiency of these minerals, meaning these organs may not function very well because of the deficiency. And in case that deficiency arises, it leads to complications which we have mentioned. And those complications can worsen the case and then you have other issues that we we that now we are saying we can prevent by using the supplements, we can eliminate those complications from happening. And so with studies that have been done on zinc and these other uh ingredients that I've mentioned that are present in the supplements, it is now working very well that it is showing that there is a rise and there's a percentage of people who respond positively and also reduce those complications specifically in the prostate gland BPH prostatic hyperplasia and then it reduces the prostate cancer which is not a common one though it is also starting to rise because many people are being predisposed to other things that lead to these complications. So without saying much all these supplements you can find them in the pharmacies or even specifically where within Kampala you can look for us at Spring Pharmacy and then you get the supplements. I've said there are many but then we can choose what is best for you so that it can start helping and it can start working out for you. Prostate is very key and uh very important for your reproductive health and also as you age if it becomes a complication and you have all those other symptoms you can't really enjoy life. You can just be having be packed with drugs and all that and then at the end of the day uh drugs again become your medicine when like your food when you should be eating very well and enjoying the life you worked for for so long. So I say that these complications begin to rise with age as the body may not be a in position to absorb enough zinc enough of these ingredients lycopene selenium and all that. So bringing in these supplements early enough helps to eliminate the risk of having those conditions and complications later at the end of the age. Now to look to enjoy life and to make it to make sure that life is a whole and you live it as a whole every organ of your body should be functioning every system of your body should be running well because with that you can really have the best of it.

So, we have all that information that you need. We have all that that uh that is required for you to live well and enjoy well.
