| Saw Palmetto is an herb that grows naturally within the southeast United States. While saw palmetto has an established reputation amongst herbalists as an aphrodisiac, it also helps men with enlarged prostate gland (BPH) by decreasing the size of the prostate (by over 60% for some patients) and helping the prostate function more effectively. After reviewing 21 studies involving more than 3,000 men averaging 65 years of age, doctors reporting in the journal American Family Physician concluded that saw palmetto plant extract is a beneficial, affordable option for prostate health (Gordon 2003)
Saw Palmetto berries block the enzyme responsible for converting free testosterone to the toxic dihydrotestosterone (DHT) molecule & it acts as an alpha-adrenergic receptor inhibitor, reducing frequent male urination at night, and inflammatory actions in the prostate gland.
The use of saw palmetto DHT blocker and other prostate herbs have been found effective in treating prostate problems. Research now shows that a simple preparation of saw palmetto prostate products is safe and effective alternative to standard drug therapy, and produces no side effects in naturally treating benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).
Saw Palmetto Effects & Benefits:
a) Relieve many symptoms of BPH including difficult urination, excessive urination (frequent urge to urinate), nocturia (frequent urination at night), residual urine (incomplete emptying of the bladder)
b) Improve BPH by counteracting inflammation, muscle spasms, and edema (swelling) of the prostate
A three-month, double-blind clinical trial indicated that when combined with pumpkin seed (Cucurbita pepo), the positive influence of saw palmetto is significantly augmented. The impact of pumpkin seed and saw palmetto was compared with that of a placebo in 53 northern European men between the ages of 50 and 80. Using ultrasound technology as well as subjective reporting, the researchers noted a significantly positive difference in seven measures of urinary health among the men receiving the herbal combination (Carbin 1990).
