Prostate health has become an important issue among men who are over the age of 40. A healthy prostate can be aided by several natural nutrients and herbs, including the use of Saw Palmetto berries. Prostate supplement extracts from these berries have been reported in several herbal texts to have considerable power in normalizing the function of the prostate gland.

Saw Palmetto

Saw Palmetto berries (Serenoa repens): Extracts of Saw Palmetto berries (Serenoa repens), con­tain a variety of fatty acids and phytosterols. Phytosterols are plant sterols that have been shown to inhibit the con­version of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that may play a role in the enlargement of the prostate. Saw Palmetto extracts contain bio-active sterols such as Beta-sitosterol that are reported to be a nutritional aid to men with benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH.

Double Blind Clinical Study

In a double-blind clinical study with 200 patients, plant derived extracts of beta-sistosterol or a placebo were ad­ministered three times daily for six months. The results of the above clinical trial were encouraging and indicate that beta-sitosterol was helpful in normalizing urine flow and residual urinary volume.

Pygeum

Pygeum (Pygeum africanum) is a large evergreen tree that grows in the southern parts of Africa. The tree bark was traditionally used as a tea for genito-urinary com­plaints. Recent research with extracts of this plant indicate that it is helpful in reducing the inflammation and swelling associated with minor prostate irritation. Pygeum contains phytosterols such as beta-sitosterol which inhibits the pro­duction of inflammatory prostagladins. Pygeum extracts also contain compounds that help in removing excess cholesterol deposits that may play a role in maintaining a healthy prostate. BPH and other cases of prostate enlarge­ment are characterized by high levels of cholesterol.

Zinc

Zinc and its bioavailable forms such as zinc gluconate, have been shown to reduce the symptoms of BPH in men a small study with 19 patients demonstrated a 73% im­provement in those individuals taking a zinc supplement when measured by rectal exam, X-ray and endoscopy. Other published scientific data has shown the importance of zinc supplementation in improving libido and in increas­ing testosterone levels.

Lycopene

Lycopene are natural carotenoids that are responsible for the red color in tomatoes. Reported to be the most abundant carotenoid in the prostate gland. A Harvard research study suggests that lycopene may play an important role in the health of the prostate. Like other anti-oxidants, lycopene can help prevent cellular damage and abnormal cellular growth.

Turmeric

Turmeric: Other herbs that help in maintaining a healthy prostate include Tumeric extracts which contain substances that increase the secretion of bile and help prevent cholesterol from building up in the tissues.

Uva Ursi

Uva Ursi has been used for generations as a natural diuretic, and as an aid in urinary tract infections.

Juniper Berries

Juniper Berries and False Unicorn were considered to be excellent diuretics and emetics by the Native American Indians.

As the male population ages, it will become more important for men to decrease their fat intake and to sup­plement their diets with those nutrients and herbs known to help in maintaining a healthy prostate.
