ProLensis™ is a proprietary plant extract from the bulbine natalensis plant. ProLensis™ belongs to the Asphodelaceae plant family, in which Aloe is also found (the most popular of this genus is of course, Aloe Vera). Unlike Aloe, however, ProLensis™ is found exclusively in South Africa.

ProLensis™ has a multitude of benefits. The leaf sap is used directly on the skin by African natives for several purposes, including management of wounds, burns, rashes, and itches. A drink made from the infusion of the roots is consumed to suppress vomiting, diarrhoea, and even to reduce joint inflammation.

More recent research has demonstrated that ProLensis™ exerts favorable effects on the hormonal milieu, with increases in testosterone and reductions in estrogen. This makes ProLensis™ an ideal tool for body augmentation with increases in muscle mass and reduction of body fat.

The health and fitness industry is built largely around the concept of body augmentation, with a major interest in enhancement of lean body mass and reduction of body fat mass. The supplement and vitamin industry has identified this as a major market, introducing “fat burners” and in some cases for males, testosterone reinforcement. Very few, if any, have addressed the potential of compounds that both enhance testosterone and lower estrogen and the effects this can have on body augmentation.

Testosterone declines with age, and restoring it to youthful levels has been associated with energy, vitality and invigoration. Because of the effect testosterone has on maintaining and even building muscle tissue, bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts are continually looking for ways to promote their own testosterone output. Testosterone enhancement also helps build strength, stamina, endurance, and enhances recovery between workouts. It also plays a large role in libido, and testosterone enhancement has been shown to improve the male sex drive. This is where ProLensis™ can be of significant value as it enhances testosterone signalling, leading to increased levels of the hormone. But the benefits of ProLensis™ do not end here.

Estrogen is the primary female sex hormone. In males it is present in varying amounts, with higher levels typically found in males with higher body fat levels. Higher estrogen levels are typically associated with a higher distribution of what is called gynoid fat – fat around the chest, hips, and buttocks. Excessive levels of estrogen can also give rise to a condition known as gynecomastia which is the growth of actual breast tissue beneath the nipples. This effect can occur during puberty in males when testosterone levels tend to be at its highest, and is also something that can occur in bodybuilders using anabolic steroids. This condition is unsightly and many men that develop the condition find it mentally difficult to deal with. ProLensis™ has been shown to lower levels of estrogen, which over time can alter body fat storage patterns, and can even go some way to reduce conditions of gynecomastia.

Weight loss is the crucial element in combination with lean muscle gain for the aim of body augmentation. There is also a strong desire to lose body fat in many people as the effects of body weight reduction on general health, longevity, and improved quality of life have long been understood.

By improving the hormonal balance between estrogen and testosterone, ProLensis™ can aid in gains of lean body mass and reductions in bodyweight when combined with a calorie-controlled diet and exercise regime.
