What makes EFLA® 940 Pumpkin Seed Extract Plus special?

Not all pumpkin seed extracts are effective because the nutrients in them can be easily destroyed. However, EFLA® 940 is extracted using a patented technology to preserve these nutrients and is backed by clinical studies. An international medical magazine, ‘Natural Medicine’ reported the presence of hydrophilic ingredient in EFLA® 940 that is indeed helpful in preventing and treating benign prostatic hyperplasia and women’s urinary incontinence problems.

EFLA® 940 is patented in many countries for its 3 manufacturing processes:

1. Removal of fat to eliminate the harmful degenerative and oxidative actions.
2. Removal of toxic heavy metals and farm chemicals.
3. Extraction of ingredients with high water affinity for high absorption rate. (Increased safety and stability)

Urinary Incontinence

1 in 10 people suffer from urinary incontinence often referred to as “poor bladder control”, “overactive bladder” or “weak bladder” and simply means difficulty holding back the urge to urinate. This results in leaks which can exact a considerable toll on the quality of life, interfering with work, social activities, and sex. Many suffer in silence as they are too embarrassed to seek help, or they assume that it’s a natural part of the ageing process not knowing that without intervention, this condition can only get worse!

Incontinence affects both men and women, young and old and this problem becomes more severe with advancing age. It’s a very common problem with 53.1% of women and 29.9% of men exhibiting some of its symptoms*.

Urinary Problems in Men

• Weak urinary flow, straining to urinate, dribbling, bladder still feeling full after urinating, difficulty in postponing urination, and frequent urination at night. These are common urinary problems that affect men.
• Although most urinary problems in men are caused by BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or prostate enlargement), many who are suffering from these conditions do not necessarily have BPH. Other reasons causing incontinence include weakening of pelvic floor muscles and a disorder recognised as pollakiuria.
• Conventional treatment that addresses only prostrate enlargement may not necessarily yield satisfying results!

Incontinence in Women

• Women are twice as likely as men to have urinary incontinence due to hormonal changes (eg. perimenopause, menopause), pregnancy, childbirth, constipation and inactivity.
• Here are some of the reasons:
  - Stress and damage to the pelvic floor muscles sustained during pregnancy and childbirth
  - Weakening of urinary sphincter with advancing age
  - Loss of elasticity of the pelvic floor muscles

Leading Cause of Incontinence in Women When the urinary sphincter and pelvic floor muscles lose their elasticity and strength, any increase in abdominal pressure such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, running or lifting of heavy objects can cause leakage.
