Prostate Health – Reducing Nighttime Urination
Current data implies if you are a man and live long enough, prostate pathologies will be something you experience. These span from enlarged prostate (BPH) to full blown prostate cancer.Symptoms often begin with increasing night time urinations. Three, four, five times a night is not uncommonly reported. With this new product, clioquinol (a zinc ionophore), we have seen nighttime urinations drop from these high levels to 1 or zero IN DAYS. Here are a few quotes from people who emailed feedback:
- Patient #1. “As for me that cream seems to be showing good results. I am down to a normal one urination per nite and my PSA was stable “
- Patient #2. “All is well but it is time to renew my prescription for clioquinol rx# “
- Patient #3. “PS: That Clioquinol is amazing! First day, woke up once only and last night, nada. Thank you so much for the info and the script.”
- Patient #4 (Rick): “I have experienced significant improvement in nightly urination trips. Prior to clioquinol, I typically had several trips to the bathroom at night. Now, one and sometimes none.”
- Patient #5 Ted: I am 74 and had bad prostate issues for over 5 years. I maxed out on all the meds and still had bad symptoms. Was using a catheter 3 times daily. Started using clioquinol cream several months ago, and now am free of using the catheter. Definitely emptying more, no urgency, and proved to myself that the cream is the reason I’m doing a lot better with no side effects. Does not work overnight, need to give it some time. This cream is a godsend to me.
Not only are the nighttime interruptions inconvenient but the sleep disruptions precipitated are harmful over time as well.We have a detailed whitepaper on prostate health that includes the scientific backing on clioquinol and a host of other measures to improve prostate health.
