Proceptin - Nutritional Data
Suggested Use:
As a dietary supplement, take 4 to 6 capsules daily with meals, or as directed by your qualified health consultant.
Proceptin
Proceptin is the first physician-formulated preparation formulated to provide many of the nutrients which have been shown to support successful male reproductive function. It has been developed as a result of over 60 research studies addressing the role of antioxidants, and amino acid precursors in male reproductive function.
Proceptin®, a nutritional supplement, may reduce the adverse effects of oxidative stress on reproductive tissue and organs, and potentially improve sperm function.
During initial sperm production stages, harmful oxidative stress on the tissues and organs responsible for reproductive function is a result of the sperm's free radicals. Molecules that contain at least one unpaired electron are referred to as free radicals. The robbing of electrons by free radicals can disrupt normal cellular processes and cause cellular damage in the form of oxidative stress.
Proceptin is the only product of its kind containing the potent antioxidant Pycnogenol. Pycnogenol has been proven to improve parameters on semen analysis. Additionally it contains high doses of carnitine, CoQ-10, selenium & zinc, vitamins C, E, and B complex.
Proceptin is recommend for men, when couples are trying to have a baby.
Proceptin is a nutritional supplement that does not contain any herbs or preservatives. Each component in Proceptin has been verified in clinical studies published in leading medical journals.
A study by Sagayan & Associates showed that a course of antioxidant therapy significantly decreased sperm DNA fragmentation by over 10% in men with a abnormal DFI > 30%. This study entitled Effects of Antioxidant Treatment on DNA Fragmentation Index was presented at the October 2004 annual meeting of ASRM and published in abstract form in Fertility and Sterility. The antioxidants and metabolic co-factors in Proceptin have individually been shown to improve one or more sperm parameters.
More Information about the Sperm Cell
Old sperm cells die off and new cells are created at a rate of about one percent each day. This means the entire sperm cycle requires approximately 100 days. The final 75 days represent a period of maturation for the sperm cell. This final step of sperm maturation, called "spermiogenesis", puts the fuel into the tank and completes the development of the sperm cell (spermatozoon).
During this 75 day period of maturation, sperm require large amounts of energy to fuel the mid-portion of the cell. Cells that consume large amounts of energy often generate many free radicals. Here, these free radicals represent a form of oxidative stress on the tissues and organs responsible for the reproductive function in the male. Thus it is useful to use dietary supplements with the proper antioxidants and metabolic co-factors that may help to reduce these stresses.
Proceptin is a proprietary formulation of nutritional supplements of fat and water soluble antioxidants, amino acid precursors and co-factors related to intermediary metabolism. It has the ability to provide these nutrients required to support successful male reproductive function.
