The Science Behind Promato®: Lycopene, Ellagic Acid & Zinc Picolinate Unpacked

When you’re proactive in taking care of your health, you’re making an investment your future self will thank you for. Luckily, there are a number of measures you can implement to support your body as it ages, including taking steps to reduce your risk factors for common diseases. According to CANSA, 1 in 26 women in South Africa are likely to develop breast cancer. Similarly, the National Library of Medicine states prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed forms of cancer in men, and is especially prevalent in Africa. While these forms of the disease often have strong genetic component, there are also proven precautions that can be taken to reduce the risk of their occurrence.

Cell damage is one of the key root causes of cancer. Unfortunately, many behaviours prevalent in modern life contribute to this process, from a sedentary lifestyle, to cigarette smoke to exposure to the sun’s UV rays. Addressing these through lifestyle changes is a great first step, and if you want to be even more proactive, you can also add supplements to your daily routine that help to further protect your body. Promato®, from Value Added Life, is one of these, with scientifically-optimised, natural formulation focused specifically on prostate and breast health.
