Top 5 Prostate Health Supplements of 2022

blank

Prostate health is now the fastest-growing segment in the supplement industry, with cutting-edge supplement formulations exhibiting promising results. The science, quality, and reliability of prostate health supplements improved following breakthrough research involving beta-sitosterol, a plant-based substance that features cholesterol-like chemical structures.

Beta-sitosterol supplements show promise as dietary support for ongoing treatment, or as a viable option to slow down the deterioration of prostate health. Additionally, men are taking prostate health supplements to reduce the risk of further prostate growth before they reach the point of experiencing symptoms.

How do prostate health supplements work?

Based on verified scientific data, beta-sitosterol can significantly reduce cholesterol uptake in the bloodstream, which in turn, would effectively inhibit further prostate growth, and be a catalyst for managing prostate-related symptoms such as urinary discomfort, difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and more.

Elevated cholesterol levels in the bloodstream is an exceptionally problematic for older men as it is the primary risk factor for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and many other cardiovascular diseases. Statistically, increased cholesterol levels are more common in older men, and the concurrence of all these risk factors further endangers men’s health with aging.

Like any other product, supplements are also prone to low-quality, subpar supplement formulas that do little to no benefit for prostate health. Advanced prostate health supplements feature superior formulas that meet or exceed the potency, quality, and effectiveness expected from prostate health supplements. In this article, we’ll highlight the top 5 prostate health supplements to ensure that your prostate health is properly protected.

#1 Advanced Sito Prostate

Advanced Sito Prostate is easily the #1 prostate health supplement in the world today, as it was the first supplement to demonstrate the effectiveness of oral supplement formulas in managing prostate growth and reducing lower urinary tract symptoms. Since it was introduced in 2018, no other supplement formula was able to match its immense prostate health benefits, effectiveness, and reliability.

Since managing prostate health is a priority for most men over 50, Advanced Sito Prostate maintains its strong customer base, and it steadily gains new customers every day. About 99.3% of Advanced Sito Prostate customers are repeat customers, and its customer satisfaction rating is ranked #1, with an average rating of 4.9/5.

Why is Advanced Sito Prostate #1?

Advanced Sito Prostate has the most advanced Beta-Sitosterol formula in the industry today, with about half of its total serving dedicated to beta-sitosterol alone. The formula also features prominent antioxidant mineral blends and anti-inflammatory agents to help minimize abnormal prostate growth and inflammation, and provide complete prostate health support. These factors, combined with the brand’s overwhelmingly positive ratings, make Advanced Sito Prostate the best prostate health supplement today.

#2 Prostate Daily

Prostate Daily is quickly emerging to be one of the most prominent prostate health supplements of 2022, as it provides adequate comfort, quality, and relief for individuals with prostate health problems. Like Advanced Sito Prostate, Prostate Daily also features an advanced beta-sitosterol core, with additional ingredients that help minimize inflammation and other forms of prostate discomfort. Comparatively, it would be too early to tell if Prostate Daily can dethrone Advanced Sito Prostate as the top prostate health supplement, but its promising results and quality make for an interesting comparison with the top brand in the business.

#3 Peak Flow

Peak Flow is one of the new prostate health supplements in the market that quickly became popular because of its active online promotions and competitive pricing. Since it was released in 2021, Peak Flow has gained a steady following, with many of its customers staying on for at least 3 months on average. Like Prostate Daily and Advanced Sito Prostate, Peak Flow also follows the trend of having beta-sitosterol as its core ingredient, with several natural support ingredients to help improve prostate health.

#4 Total Prostate Support

Total Prostate Support is among the first supplements that featured beta-sitosterol in its formula, and it has remained active and popular to this day. While Total Prostate Support does not feature the same advanced formulations that new products have, the brand maintains its popularity, thanks to its amazing aftersales support.

#5 Prostaflow Maxx

Prostaflow Maxx is the newest prostate health product on this list, but it shows great potential because of its advanced formulation. The brand follows the same formula for success by featuring a prominent beta-sitosterol core, combined with essential minerals for prostate health. It’s too early to tell if Prostaflow Maxx would be in the same level of success as the other brands on this list, but based on its formula, it’s a safe choice for men who want to improve their prostate health.

Conclusion

Choosing the right supplement for your prostate health is important to ensure your health for years to come. We created this list to make it easier for anyone to compare products and see which brand fits their needs. These brands are the best of the best in the prostate health segment, and you can’t go wrong with whichever brand you choose. At the end of the day, being consistent with your supplements and following your doctor’s recommendations would be the most important factors that would help you safeguard your prostate health.

What Airline Passengers Don’t Know About What Happens Behind the Scenes with Air Traffic Control and Most Experts Won’t Reveal

blank

TheWashington, D.C. – Each day, an estimated 2,900,000 passengers fly in and out of U.S. airports and most have no idea what goes on behind-the-scenes. They don’t know what is involved to get them safely to their final destination or what decisions are made by air traffic controllers to safely navigate their flight. While most days are usually uneventful, situations occur that can be the difference between life and death, and that’s where people like Andy Watson come in.  

No ordinary pilot, Watson has been flying airplanes since he was eight years old, and has also worked as an Air Traffic Control (ATC) Specialist at many of the busiest facilities throughout the eastern United States for more than 14 years. In fact, he is one of only a select few pilots who has a multi-faceted understanding of aviation, which most pilots never realize. Watson’s experiences both as a pilot in the aircraft and professionally tracking planes on the air traffic control radar scope inspired him to write The Pilot’s Guide to Air Traffic Control, a collection of behind-the-scenes stories that places the reader right in the middle of real-life situations that bring the stress and urgency air traffic controllers deal with on a daily basis to bear.*  

Watson has written more than thirty chapters about his experiences as an air traffic controller with pilots in mind that includes an exclusive peek into an intense world which travelers rarely see, and dispels several myths about the aviation industry. 

#1 – How often does a passenger have to land a plane? Although this has been depicted in film more than once, this is actually an uncommon occurrence, but it does happen. Last month, an emergency took place when the pilot of a single-engine turboprop Cessna Caravan en route to Florida became incapacitated and the inexperienced passenger was doing his best to fly the plane. Luckily, an air traffic controller on duty, Robert Morgan, was also an experienced flight instructor. Once notified of the situation, he sprang into action. Despite himself never having flown this make and model of aircraft before, he was able to access a picture of the Cessna Caravan’s instrument panel to guide the impromptu student step-by-step on how to land the aircraft. “As I reviewed the incident,” Watson noted, “I thought it was absolutely brilliant that controller and flight instructor Robert Morgan printed a picture of the Cessna Caravan’s instrument panel so he could explain to the passenger over the radio exactly where to look in order to control the aircraft. I believe Robert saved the three lives on the aircraft that day!” Similarly, Watson’s book tells the story of another ATC save where the flight crew was suffering from hypoxia – a lack of oxygen – was rendered all but unconscious. A controller was able to get them to descend before they passed out. 

#2 – Why is Spatial Disorientation a Very Serious Inflight Emergency? Statistics show between 5 to 10% of all general aviation accidents are caused by spatial disorientation, 90% of which are fatal. Spatial disorientation was determined to be the probable cause of the crash that claimed the life of magazine editor & pilot John F. Kennedy, Jr. and more recently, basketball legend Kobe Bryant.  Watson remarks, “Spatial disorientation occurs when the body feels oriented in one direction, but in reality, it is oriented in a different direction. Literally, the pilot doesn’t know which way is up! It’s the same feeling kids get when they close their eyes, spin in circles, and then try to stand up straight, usually resulting in them falling down!”

Watson, who has worked in the FAA’s Air Traffic Safety Oversight office in Washington, D.C., has encountered several aviation accidents caused by this condition and says, “I realized I had received training on spatial disorientation as a pilot, but I did not remember any training on it as a controller.” 

#3 – What is a big mistake pilots make? Watson’s experience is that while commercial pilots are quick to declare an emergency when necessary, the pilots of smaller, general aviation aircraft are often more reluctant. It seems to Watson that most of them try to avoid declaring the emergency to the maximum extent possible. “I suspect because they are afraid of the FAA. I can tell you, if the thought of declaring an emergency even crosses your mind, then you probably should go ahead and declare it! I have heard pilots talk around the word ‘emergency’ specifically to avoid saying it. When an emergency is declared, air traffic gets extra help to assist you in whatever means they can. Phone calls for additional assistance are made, options are presented, and whatever else the pilot requests are made available. Don’t do it without good reason, but the FAA and ATC is truly there to help you effect a safe arrival.” 

Andy Watson will be on hand at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2022, the Largest Airshow in the World, for interviews and to personally sign copies of The Pilot’s Guide to Air Traffic Control. The book is also available on Amazon and at atcStories.com. While the title may say it’s for pilots, this book also provides a view from behind the flight deck door of how almost three million passengers travel safely each day in the skies over the United States.
