Promato is a nutritional supplement with antioxidant properties. Its active ingredients are Lycopene, Ellagic acid and Zinc Picolinate. Free radicals have been implicated in many diseases. As an antioxidant formulation, Promato acts as free-radical scavenger and quenches singlet oxygen, enhances the immune function and maintains the function of the prostate gland.
Lycopene is a bright red pigment that gives fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes their red colour. Its name is derived form the tomato species classification, Solanum lycopersicum. Lycopene has exceptional antioxidant activity against singlet-oxygen free radicals. Studies have shown that men who eat substantial amounts of tomatoes appear to have a lower incidence of prostate cancer. It is also related to a reduced risk of oesophageal, colon skin, bladder and mouth cancers.
Ellagic acid is a natural occurring phenolic compound in many plants, particularly strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.), raspberries (Rubus species), blackberries [Rubus L. subgenus Rubus (Eubatus)] and pomegranates (Punica granatum). It is a powerful antioxidant derived form raspberries in particular with the ability to support cell structures with regards to DNA replication and cell division.
Zinc Picolinate provides elemental zinc to the body. It is essential for normal growth and development and life span. Its primary mode of action is by participating in over twenty key enzyme reactions in the body. It supports a healthy immune system, is needed for wound healing, and is needed for DNA synthesis. Zinc reduces the body’s level of prolactin, a hormone that stimulates synthesis of dihydrotestosterone, DHT, believed to promote malignant growth of prostate cells.
