Description
It is estimated that sixty percent of
middle-aged men suffer from prostate problems. Benign Prostatic
Hyperplasia (BPH) that is the most common form of prostate trouble.
The
prostate is a small gland that makes up part of the male reproductive
system.
About the size of a walnut, the prostate surrounds the neck of
the bladder.
Its function is to secrete fluids, which lubricate the
urinary tract and aid the movement of sperm.
These secretions make up
half of the volume of semen. As men reach middle age this gland
frequently enlarges squeezing the urethra and obstructing urine flow.
This condition becomes known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
Symptoms
include the need to pass urine more frequently, particularly during the
night, difficulty in starting and stopping urine flow, strong urges to
urinate and a feeling of not having completely emptied the bladder.
Natural
help for BPH include vitamins, minerals and herbs to provide essential
nutrients and help reduce inflammation and the size of the prostate
gland.
More zinc is found in the sex organs, including the prostate
gland, seminal fluid and sperm, than in any other part of the male
body.
Zinc benefits the prostate by blocking the enzyme that converts
testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, a stronger hormone that increases
prostate size.
Recent research shows that the herb Serenoa
serrulata or Saw Palmetto can relieve the symptoms of an enlarge
prostate. In addition, Saw Palmetto may act to reduce inflammation and
reduce tissue swelling.

should consider taking a well-formulated prostate-specific supplement
as a preventative measure, and to help treat existing prostate
