Decaffeinated green tea leaves found in Silexin contain EGCG catechins which are a type of Polyphenol flavenoid that acts as a powerful antioxidant.  EGCG has been shown in laboratory tests to trigger a cell’s Apoptosis (cell destruction) mechanism in the body. Without the apoptosis mechanism our cells would continue to grow uncontrollably causing tumors to be formed.  1 cup of green tea contains over 100mg of EGCG and in Silexin we have included 150mg of green tea leaves per daily dose which contains a minimum of 112.5mg of EGCG.  Studies have been conducted to show that EGCG may inhibit Urokinase, which is an enzyme that is needed for cancer cell growth. ZincZinc is considered one of the most essential minerals to men’s health.  Zinc is found in large quantities in the prostate and is known to be a key mineral in male sexual reproductive functions, hormone metabolism and regulation.CopperCopper is another trace mineral found in the body that is essential to men’s health. Copper competes with zinc in the body for absorption and if not balanced properly with Zinc, Copper related deficiencies may occur.  Silexin has been formulated to insure that these two minerals are present in the appropriate amounts for a healthy daily intake.
