- What is Trinovin?
A natural dietary supplement containing red clover isoflavones for maintenance of prostate and urinary health in men.
- What is Trinovin for?
Maintenance of prostate and urinary health in men.
Trinovin contains 40mg of isoflavones, which are plant compounds found in legumes or pulses, such as lentils, chickpeas, red clover, and a variety of beans. Men in traditional Eastern, Mediterranean, and Central American communities who consume isoflavones in their traditional vegetarian diet enjoy many health benefits including a lower incidence of prostate cancer and prostate disease. Trinovin reduces the urinary symptoms associated with prostate enlargement.
- What is Trinovin made from?
Trinovin is made from pharmaceutical grade ingredients from Australia. Trinovin contain isoflavones from red
clover sourced from the highest quality fields in Switzerland and Austria. As well as being an approved foodstuff and herbal substrate, red clover is a legume that is the richest source of isoflavones found in nature. Red clover contains all four most important isoflavones that are present in Asian, Mediterranean and Central American diets, namely biochanin, formononetin, daidzein and genistein.
- What are isoflavones?
Isoflavones are plant compounds found in legumes or pulses. Legumes or pulses include lentils, clover, chickpeas and a large variety of beans including soybeans. Isoflavones are naturally occurring and are highly important dietary components for a number of different reasons. Men in communities consuming a diet high in isoflavones enjoy a lower incidence of degenerative diseases such as prostrate disease, osteoporosis, heart disease and hormone associated cancers when compared to men in western communities who have lower isoflavone consumption and a higher incidence of degenerative diseases.
- How can isoflavone intake be increased?
There are two ways to increase isoflavones in the diet:
- consume a wide variety of legumes on a daily basis, or
- take a daily standardized isoflavone supplement containing all of the four important isoflavones.
- What are the benefits of taking Trinovin compared to increasing the quantity of legume consumption?
The main advantage if standardized isoflavone supplements over consuming legumes is the guarantee of obtaining a total of 40mg isoflavones daily, without needing to make significant changes to your diet.
There is no guarantee that you will receive the recommended intake from eating legumes because the precise content of isoflavones varies from legume variety, crop and harvest conditions and is also impacted by processing and lack of standardization.
Trinovin provides 40mg of standardized isoflavones.
- How does it work?
Scientists consider that isoflavones can help to normalize function within the prostrate gland. Isoflavones also exert protective effects on cells within the body due to their anti-oxidant effects.
Examples of regulation of enzymes relevant to the prostate include:
- regulation of steroid production and metabolism
- inhibiting enzymes that encourage cell proliferation, and
- possible anti-cancer effects in the prostate gland
Prostate enlargement is thought to be caused by excessive amounts of 2 hormones, estradiol and dihydrostestosterone (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 prostate cells resulting in prostate enlargement.
Trinovin acts in 3 ways to relieve the symptoms of prostate enlargement:
- Stops over-activity of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, reducing the amount of DHT in the prostate
- Locks DHT out of the cell receptors in the prostate
- Blocks excessive estradiol production by inhibiting the enzyme aromatase
Only isoflavones act in 3 ways to maintain prostate health. Most other supplements including saw palmetto work only in one way: inhibition of 5-alpha reductase.
- How long does it take to work? What will I feel after taking Trinovin?
It takes up to 6 weeks to notice reduction in the symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate. Examples of these symptoms include nocturia (frequency of night time urination), reduced urine flow, inability to start urine flow, intermittency, dribbling. Symptoms will continue to improve for up to 12 weeks of Trinovin use. However, people are different and the response to Trinovin may take less or more time depending upon their individual health status.
- What clinical trials have been conducted?
Clinical trials have measured the beneficial effects on men who are suffering from symptoms of an enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The trials showed improvements after 6 weeks of taking Trinovin in such things as:
- a sense that the bladder has not adequately emptied
- difficulty in starting to urinate
- increased frequency in urination
- while urinating the stream stops and starts
- a sudden inability to urinate
- IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score)
- Quality of life
Another study in Melbourne, found that Trinovin treatment in men with prostate cancer, resulted in an increased number of prostate cancer cells self-destructing.
- What Trinovin studies are in progress?
A larger, longer study is currently underway, to elucidate a possible role of Trinovin as a treatment for low-grade prostate cancer.
- Is it safe?
Traditional vegetarian diets in some cultures are high in isoflavones – for example, up to 200 mg day in Japanese men. These men enjoy normal function for longer than Western societies who don’t have such high isoflavone content in their diet. The typical western diet contains between 2 and 4 mg of isoflavones a day.
- Are isoflavones feminizing, or will they interfere with my normal sexual function?
No. There is no evidence that isoflavones affect masculinity or sexual function
- What is the recommended daily dose?
It is recommended to take 1 tablet per day with a meal. Most men will see some effects after 6 weeks but treatment should continue for at least 6 months. As a dietary supplement, Trinovin can be taken over a long period of time without any adverse side effects. If you miss taking Trinovin one day, then simply restart the next day.
- Do I have an enlarged prostate/BPH?
We recommend that if this is a concern, that you consult your doctor. Symptoms like difficulty urinating, straining to start, nocturia, weak or broken stream, and prostate discomfort might indicate a problem but only your doctor can confirm BPH.
