Description
A Modern Herbal Remedy for Enlarged Prostate
Traditionally folk use revolved around saw palmetto's berries' ability to ease irritations to the delicate mucous membranes lining the urinary and reproductive organs. Some ancient texts also describe its aphrodisiac properties.
Saw palmetto is a small palm growing in the West lndies and along the Atlantic coastline. In recent times the berries have provided great benefit to men suffering from the age-related enlargement of the prostate. This process is known medically as benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). The power of saw palmetto has been a well-kept secret for many years, but modern research has now established it as a popular herbal treatment for prostate swelling.
Health Benefits
Slows Prostate Overgrowth: A hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is produced within the cells of the prostate from testosterone, regulates prostate growth. Saw palmetto extracts have the ability to block this transformation of testosterone to DHT and in so doing reduce the overgrowth of the prostate gland.
In order to achieve this benefit it is essential that the extract is pure and potent enough. When looking for a suitable herbal supplement check the label for the standardization. A good saw palmetto product should contain 85 to 90 percent fatty acids and sterols. When taken at a dose of 160 mg twice daily, saw palmetto outperforms the standard medicinal prescription (Proscar) in all clinical studies. Not only is saw palmetto less expensive and safer that Proscar, it is actually more effective.
In studies, saw palmetto improved the flow of urine in BPH sufferers by 38 percent after three months of use compared to 16 percent in 12 months of Proscar use.
What is the Prostate?
The prostate is a single doughnut-shaped gland about the size of a chestnut. It produces a nutrient fluid that keeps the sperm alive while helping prevent infection. A healthy prostate can contribute about 30 percent of the sperm volume. Beyond the age of 40 years the prostate can start to show signs of enlargement. Some men are affected more than others. If this enlargement starts to interfere with the flow of urine, the following symptoms are experienced: excessive night time urgeto pass water, painful or difficult urination, decreased urine flow. Should you suffer from such symptoms, consult a health professional before taking saw palmetto extracts.
