How to Beat Prostate Problems

Prostate enlargement or Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BHP) is an increasing problem for aging men. There are currently more than 30 million men throughout the USA suffering form this problem. Until the age of 40 a man’s prostate remains normal in size and function. At 40 plus the cells in the prostate gland begin to multiply which results in increasing prostate size. This in turn puts pressure on the urethra, which passes through the prostate gland. As the compression increases it causes a range of urinary problems including increased urgency and frequency for urination, at the same time the urine flow is decreased, often leaving a feeling that the bladder is not completely empty. If the problem persists it can eventually lead to incontinence. Because the problem develops gradually you may not be aware of the problem until the prostate gland reaches a critical size, this could lead to a greater risk of prostate cancer. This formula is the all natural way to prevent BHP

How to Beat Prostate Problems

• 1

  Consider choosing a natural supplement. Many have been clinically proven to be as effective as conventional treatments but without the side effects. There are a number of specific herbs and extracts that are most beneficial in combination.

• 2

  Choose a supplement containing pygeum. The pygeum bark contains three groups of active constituents: phytosterols (including beta-sitosterol), which improve urination flow, reduce abdominal heaviness and frequent urination, pentacyclic triterpenoids which have anti-cancer properties and ferulic esters which have anti-inflammatory effects and inhibit the production of prostaglandins. This herb has been used in France for more than 20 years, to treat patients suffering from BPH. It is known to reduce growth factors which cause prostate hypertrophy and also to reduce symptoms and healing time. Pygeum, in combination with Saw Palmetto, has an in increased anti-inflammatory effect because of their synergistic relationship.

  Look out for Saw Palmetto. Saw Palmetto is rich in fatty acids, sterols, and esters. Its beneficial actions are due to inhibition of the chemical responsible for prostate growth. Additionally, these constituents also appear to have an anti-inflammatory action within the prostate gland. Saw Palmetto has been found to be equally effective as the conventional medication, Proscar, but without any side effects. The liposterolic extract from Saw Palmetto have been used throughout Europe for years to treat BPH. The extract reduces hyperplasia by blocking the production of growth factor which leads to enlarged prostate. Saw Palmetto causes less sexual impairment than other treatments and fewer other side effects

  Remember the importance of zinc. Zinc intake and absorption is critical for the prostate, especially during BPH. Zinc’s beneficial effects include reducing the size of the swollen prostate and symptoms including regulation of urinary flow and reducing prostate pain. It is also responsible for maintaining healthy levels of estrogen, Helps keep cholesterol levels down, (high cholesterol increases rate of prostate cancer), and has anti-tumor effects.

• 5

  Include nettle root. Nettle root reduces prostate size without side effects. Saw Palmetto, along with nettle, is approved by the German Commission A as a treatment for BPH. It inhibits the growth of prostate cells and prevents the increase in levels of estrogen.

• 6

  Choose lycopene. Lycopene reduces symptoms such as prostate pain, delayed urinary flow and prostate swelling, as well as reducing the risk of prostate cancer. Concentrated lycopene has been shown to have greater effects than food sources.

• 7

  Include selenium. Selenium helps with a number of specific symptoms including dribbling, impotence, urinary delay and swollen prostate. Selenium is a potent anti-oxidant and in conjunction with Vitamin E can help reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

• 8

  Include vitamins E and D3. Vitamin E has anti-cancer properties which are enhanced when it is combined with selenium.Vitamin D3 helps with the production of enzymes which inhibit free radicals, which are responsible for damaging DNA and ultimately leading to cancer.

• 9

  Include isoflavones. In countries such as Japan, where isoflavones rich foods such as soy are consumed regularly, the risk of prostate cancer is five times lower than in the USA. Isoflavones reduce the risk of prostate cancer be regulating testosterone levels.
