Home Prostate Disorder Test

This Prostate Test is quick, simple and can be used in the privacy of your own home.

It can be used as part of a regular screening process to test whether a man's prostate gland is enlarged or cancerous.

The prostate gland influences a man's ability to urinate and can also affect his sexual activity.
If you have been experiencing some difficulty or pain when passing urine, this test can act as a useful first step in identifying whether your symptoms are due to problems with the prostate and enables you to monitor the problem with future checks.

How does the Prostate Test work?

This prostate test has been designed so that you can identify if you have elevated levels of PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) present in your blood. PSA is a chemical that appears in your bloodstream in higher concentrations when the gland is enlarged or cancerous.

The prostate test simply requires a few drops of blood (captured with the easy to use finger pricker included in the test) and within minutes should give you an accurate reading.

What to do if the test is positive?

There are several reasons why PSA concentrations may be above normal levels, the most well publicised being Prostate cancer.
Because this is is a screening test, additional clinical investigations will be needed for a final diagnosis.

If you get a positive result, you should consult your GP, or our online doctor service immediately - early diagnosis significantly improves the outcome of any prostate disorder treatment.

Wellman Prostate

Supporting prostate health in men
Wellman® Prostate provides an advanced combination of bio-active nutrients, specially formulated to help support a healthy prostate. The comprehensive multi-nutrient formula also supports all round health and vitality and helps ensure that your body is functioning to the best of its ability.

Wellman® Prostate contains ProsteneTM, a proprietary complex of Lycopene and Bitasitosterol, plus Pumpkin seed oil, Soya Bean Germ Extract, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Saw Palmetto. Saw Palmetto extract is the most widely used and studied botanical to help maintain a healthy prostate and in combination with Beta Sitosterol, Pumpkin seed oil and Soya Bean Germ Extract, may help maintain healthy hormone balance, an important consideration for prostate health.

Lycopene is a carotenoid similar to beta-carotene and is found in tomatoes. Lycopene levels in the body tend to decline with age. This is unfortunate, as Lycopene is a very powerful antioxidant many times stronger than other more common antioxidant vitamins. Lutein is included within the formula to help protect against harmful free radicals and maintain a healthy prostate.

Wellman® Prostate combines a potent blend of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and amino acids such as Zinc, Folic acid, Vitamin B6 & B12, Magnesium, L-Carnitine and L-Arginine which have been specifically chosen for their role in supporting healthy male reproductive function, hormonal health and spermatogenesis.

Zinc may have an important role in the maintaining a healthy prostate. Total zinc levels in the prostate are 10 times higher than in other soft tissues. Zinc is also arguably one of the most important minerals for the male reproductive system as semen contains 100 times more zinc than is found in the blood. It is also required for the important production of testosterone. Zinc is essential to help support healthy cell division and for the quality and quantity of sperm. High levels of caffeine, smoking, stress, and drinking cause depletion of the Zinc level in the body. Even normal sexual activity reduces the level of zinc, as with every ejaculation a man loses about 5 mg of zinc, which is one half of the recommended daily nutrient intake. Factors such as tea and high fibre intake may also inhibit the absorption of this important mineral.

Antioxidant support to help maintain a healthy Immune system.
Free radicals found naturally in the environment are caused by sunlight, cigarette smoke, pollution, and other factors in modern day-to-day existence and can be damaging to your general health and especially your immune system. Antioxidant co-factors Selenium and Zinc, are key constituents of the body’s own antioxidant system. L-Arginine and powerful antioxidants such as Alpha Lipoic Acid, Green Tea extract, Citrus Bioflavonoids and Natural Mixed Carotenoids as well as Vitamins C and E can help maintain prostate health as well as a healthy immune system by helping to neutralise harmful free radicals that can cause oxidative damage to cell DNA, including that of the prostate cells. Alpha Lipoic acid is also a powerful antioxidant and can also enhance the antioxidant potency of other antioxidants.

For all round health and vitality
B vitamins, Folic acid, Iron, Manganese and Magnesium are needed for a healthy formation of haemoglobin and hence the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood to organs such as the prostate. B-complex vitamins are also involved in processing carbohydrate and fats for energy production and are needed to maintain a healthy nervous system. Co-enzyme Q10 is not only required for electron transport, generating energy within cells, but is also used by the body as a powerful antioxidant.

The latest research suggests that Vitamin D3 is far more important than first thought. It is involved in making hundreds of enzymes and proteins, which are important for maintaining good prostate health as well as bone health and a healthy immune system.

Always read the product directions before use. Do not exceed the recommended intake. As with other food supplements seek professional advice before using if you suffer from food allergies, and consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have an underlying medical condition (e.g. diabetes, epilepsy, hyperthyroidism), or if on medication. Vitamin supplements are not intended to treat or prevent any disease. Food supplements must not replace a balanced and varied diet, and a healthy lifestyle.
