2. The urine flow stops and starts?

3. A feeling the bladder is not completely empty after you have finished?

4. You have to push or strain to begin urination?

6. You have to urinate again less than 2 hours after your last urination?

7. It is more difficult to delay urination?

If you have noticed an increase in these symptoms, you may have prostate enlargement (BPH). Please talk to your doctor about diagnosis and treatment.

Trinovin

One Trinovin tablet a day is standardised to provide 40mg of isoflavones - equivalent to the average amount of isoflavones consumed by men eating a traditional diet. It is made from a proprietary blend of red clover, nature's richest source of isoflavone plant compounds.

Findings to date have shown Trinovin:

• Maintains

· prostate health
· urinary health

• May assist relieving

· urinary frequency
· urination at night
· weak stream
· broken stream
· straining to urinate

Trials have also confirmed that a once-daily dose of Trinovin is sufficient to sustain levels of isoflavones in the blood, and maintain ongoing prostate health.

91% of Trinovin users who rated their satisfaction in a questionnaire said that Trinovin had met or exceeded expectations

Frequently asked questions

· What is the formulation of Trinovin?

Trinovin is formulated from red clover (biological name trifolium pratense). As well as being an approved foodstuff, red clover is a legume that is one of the richest sources of isoflavones found in nature. Red clover contains all four most important isoflavones that are present in Asian, Mediterranean and Latin American diets, namely biochanin A, formononetin, daidzein and genistein. Trinovin is standardised to contain 40mg of isoflavones.

· How long does it take to work and what will I feel after taking Trinovin?

The positive effect of Trinovin depends on the individual's underlying problem and the response to any dietary intervention may take some time. Trinovin may assist relieving the symptoms of medically diagnosed BPH, such as urinary frequency, urination at night, weak or broken stream and straining to urinate. Ensuring adequate levels of isoflavones in the diet should be a long-term approach to ensuring healthy and normal function.

· Is Trinovin well-tolerated?

Trinovin contains isoflavone plant compounds that are normal dietary constituents, which can be found in legumes. Dietary legumes such as chick peas, soy, lentils and many varieties of beans may contain the isoflavones found in Trinovin. The average Western diet already contains between 2 and 5 mg of isoflavones each day. Men in Eastern communities have had diets that are high in isoflavone content for many years (up to 200 mg/day in some Japanese men). These men enjoy normal function for longer than men living in Western countries who don't have such a high isoflavone content in their diet.

Isoflavones

Men on traditional Asian, Mediterranean and Latin diets, are far more likely to maintain normal prostate health throughout their life when compared to men in typical 'western' cultures.

Foods from the legume family, such as red clover, chickpeas, beans and lentils, are consumed in far higher quantities in Eastern and traditional diets. These foods are rich in isoflavones, thought to be responsible for the maintenance of the good health in men from these communities.

As Western diets do not contain significant amounts of isoflavone-rich legumes, supplementation of the diet is an option. Changing the diet to incorporate lentils, chick peas and beans is possible, however many find eating a large amount of these foods unfavourable.

How Isoflavones work

Isoflavones can modulate chemical pathways involved in maintaining normal function and health in the prostate 2.

Prostate enlargement is thought to be caused by excessive amounts of two hormones, estradiol and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the prostate.

Estradiol is produced from testosterone by the enzyme aromatase.

DHT is produced from testosterone by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. DHT is a potent form of testosterone and binds to receptors in the prostate resulting in prostate enlargement.

Trinovin acts in three ways to relieve symptoms of prostate enlargment:

Stops over-activity of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase , reducing the amount of potent DHT in the prostate.

Locks DHT out of the receptor in the prostate .

Blocks excessive estradiol production, by inhibiting the enzyme aromatase.

Only isoflavones act in three ways to maintain prostate health. Most other supplements, including saw palmetto work in only one way; inhibition of 5-alpha reductase.
