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. 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 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.
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 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
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
are natural carotenoids that are responsible for the red color in tomatoes.
Lycopene are 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.
Tumeric:
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
has been used for generations as a natural diuretic, and as an aid in urinary
tract infections.
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.
