AIM ReAssure® SP Details

Benefits & Features

Medicinal Ingredients:

(Each softgel capsule contains)

Saw Palmetto Berry Oil Extract (160 mg): Saw palmetto has been used for general wellness for the past 200 years. The Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada states, “saw palmetto is the best researched of all herbal remedies for prostate problems... an acceptable option for treatment of BPH symptoms.”

The saw palmetto (SP) oil used in ReAssure® SP is extracted from the berry of this dwarf palm tree, which is found in the southeastern United States. This SP extract is rich in fatty acids and phytosterols (sitosterol and campesterol), or a type of lipid found in plant cell membranes. An added bonus, these two plant sterols may reduce the risk of cardiovascular decrease by blocking the absorption of cholesterol through the intestine [1]. Many poor quality supplements use saw palmetto berry powder instead of the berry extract in order to keep costs down but this only provides a fraction of the benefits.
Studies indicate that saw palmetto supports prostate health because it suppresses DHT activity by inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme responsible for conversion of testosterone into DHT.

Furthermore, the Journal of American Medical Association published the results of a thirty-year study concluding that 320 mg a day of saw palmetto improves urinary symptoms as effectively as prescription drugs. A daily serving of two ReAssure® SP capsules provides 320 mg of saw palmetto extract.

Pumpkin Seed Oil (120 mg): Some European countries have been using pumpkin seed extracts to treat prostate symptoms because they contain ß-sitosterol (plant sterol) that inhibits DHT in similar way as saw palmetto. A study found that more than 80 percent of patients taking 300 mg of pumpkin seed oil daily experienced improvement in bladder function, stronger urinary flow, and reduction in the frequency of nighttime urination.

The pumpkin seed extract used in the ReAssure® SP formula is a pure, virgin oil produced by cold-press and filtration, without the use of any solvents, additives, or other synthetic agents. The oil also contains nutrients that can aid in bone health and ease the symptoms of arthritis.

Zinc Citrate (7.5 mg): Clinical evidence indicates that cancerous prostate cells contain less zinc than healthy prostate cells. Healthy men have much more zinc in the prostate than in other organs, such as the liver and kidneys. Although the reason for this is still not clearly understood, zinc’s natural abundance in the prostate of healthy men suggests it is an important natural defence.

Studies have shown that zinc inhibits 5-alpha-reductase (similar in action to saw palmetto and pumpkin seed extract) and the secretion of some estrogens (also linked to prostate issues). In addition to prostate benefits, zinc is an essential component in the body’s enzyme process, acting as a stimulant for nearly 100 different enzymes. Based on the Natural Health Product Directorate (Health Canada) monograph, the adult dose of zinc is within a range of 0.7–50 mg. Two capsules of ReAssure® SP provides 15 mg of zinc.

Lycopene (2.5 mg): Lycopene, a carotenoid, may hinder the growth of prostate cancer cells. Harvard University conducted a six-year study of 50,000 men and concluded that those who ate foods containing high amounts of lycopene were up to 45 percent less likely to develop prostate cancer. As an antioxidant, lycopene helps neutralize free radicals that can contribute to prostate cancer and other cancers. ReAssure® SP provides a natural source of lycopene from tomato extract.

Recommended Use: Used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve the urologic symptoms (e.g. weak urine flow, incomplete voiding, frequent daytime and nighttime urination) associated with mild to moderate benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Recommended Dose: Take 2 capsules daily with food, a few hours before or after taking medications.
Risk Information: Consult a health care practitioner prior to use to exclude a diagnosis of prostate cancer or if symptoms persist or worsen.
