This extract is also commonly used for other medical conditions.Early studies of S. repens in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia were encouraging, suggesting good tolerability and "mild to moderate" improvement in urinary symptoms and flow measures.PomegranateResearchers report that they are rich in antioxidants that can keep bad LDL cholesterol from oxidizing (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, May 2000). This degradation of LDL seems to be an initial step in the development of atherosclerosis.

Herb Valley Saw Palmetto 1800mg 60 CapsulesSaw Palmetto is a type of palm tree, also known as Dwarf Palm and its primary medicinal value lies in the oily compounds found in its berries. Saw palmetto is believed to inhibit the actions of Dihydrotestosterone or DHT (a potent form of testosterone) on the prostate that causes prostate enlargement and interference with urinary flow. Among the main constituents of Saw Palmetto are fatty acids and sterols. The fatty acids are purported to be responsible for testosterone-inhibiting effects within the prostate. Saw Palmetto is shown to improve urinary flow and reduce the frequency and urgency of urination in men with prostate enlargemen (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH). The excessive presence of DHT has also been linked to androgenetic alopecia and hence Saw Palmetto may also be beneficial in me suffering from this condition. Therapeutic Benefits Relieves symptoms of medically diagnosed Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy such as frequent urination and painful urination. May assist in the management of alopecia.

The Importance of Prostate Health Checks More than half a million new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed every year world wide, and the cancer is the direct cause of over 200,000 deaths. More significantly, the incidence of the disease is increasing with a rise of 1.7 per cent over 15 years.   Once a taboo subject, prostate problems including cancer, prostatitis and general age-related prostate enlargement (known as Benign Prostate Hyperplasia or BPH) are now recognised as a major health problem. Today, all men from the age of 40 onwards are encouraged to have regular medical checks to determine the status of their prostate.   The doctor may also recommend a special blood test to determine the level of the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) and will measure this from time to time to determine any changes. A simple physical examination can also help to check any changes to the prostate gland, esp More Info

Indications Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is an age-related, androgen-dependent enlargement of the prostate gland. The condition is extremely common among ageing men, occurring in more than 50% of men over 50 years of age. BPH is characterised by urinary symptoms including increased urinary frequency, night-time urination, urgency to urinate, weak urinary stream, difficulty starting urination and a sensation that the bladder is not empty after urinating Contains the clinically trialled dose of Saw palmetto extract for the management of medically diagnosed BPH. May assist in the management and symptomatic relief of medically diagnosed BPH. May reduce urinary frequency, night time urination, urinary urgency, and improve urine flow and bladder emptying in medically diagnosed BPH. May reduce lower urinary tract symptoms associated with medically diagnosed BPH. May help inhibit activity of the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase, therefore reducing conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is thought to contribute to increased prostate cell growth. Traditionally Pygeum and Epilobium are used to help maintain prostate health. Contains the antioxidants lycopene, selenium and zinc to help maintain a healthy prostate. Provides antioxidants that may protect the prostate from free radical damage. Zinc is found in high concentrations in the prostate and is important for normal prostate function and/or male hormone balance. Helps maintain prostate health.

Zinc 14.7mg) Selenium as selenomethionine 26mcg Medically diagnosed Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia also referred to as BPH affects more than 50% of men in their lifetime, with incidence increasing with age. The condition is characterised by hyperplasia of prostatic cells, resulting in the formation of large, fairly discrete nodules in the prostate region. When large enough, the nodules compress causing obstruction of the urethra, interfering with normal urine flow. BPH is considered to be an androgen dependant (testosterone and related hormones) disorder of metabolism. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent androgen derived from testosterone by the action of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, is a critical mediator of prostatic growth. Rising DHT levels are associated with increasing levels of 5-alpha-reductase which is believed to be a contributing factor to BPH Benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms include hesitancy, intermittency, incomplete voiding, weak urinary stream, and straining, frequency of urination, and urgency. Natural treatments may assist in decreasing symptoms by modifying sex steroid metabolism and inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase, supporting prostate health and function. MICROgenics® Protech Complete Prostate Formula provides the following health benefits: Relief of urinary symptoms Male hormonal balancing General health and well being Sexual function Free radical scavenger Urinary symptoms Saw Palmetto can assist in relieving the symptoms of medically diagnosed BPH such as night time urination, impaired urinary flow and improving overall quality of life This formula is designed to relieve difficult with urination; hesitancy, dribbling, frequency, and nocturnal urination A review of the literature and 21 clinical trials using Saw Palmetto on 3139 men with medically diagnosed Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) demonstrated that Saw Palmetto decreased urinary tract symptom such as nocturia (need to urinate during the night), and improved urine flow.

Are you searching for relief for the symptoms of medically diagnosed Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (enlarged prostate)?  These symptoms may include urinary challenges, a hesitant interrupted weak stream, urinary frequency, urgency and dribbling or leaking.  You are not alone!  Prostate enlargement occurs in more than 50% of men over the age of 50 years. Swisse Ultiboost PROSTATE has been formulated specifically to assist in the reduction of these associated symptoms. The main herbal ingredient is a standardised extract of Saw Palmetto.  Saw Palmetto has been traditionally used for male urinary conditions and was described by traditional physicians as 'old man's friend'.  Modern clinical studies support the use of Saw palmetto for the symptomatic relief of prostate enlargement. Swisse Ultiboost PROSTATE also contains the herbs Nettle and Pumpkin seed as well as important synergistic vitamins and minerals such as lycopene, vitamin D, zinc and folic acid.
