Loading ...Natural Supplements for Prostate Health
ByAre you like me, and you’ve been searching for a natural supplement for your prostate health? Prostate health is a primary concern of almost every man over 40.
Fortunately, there have been many advancements made recently in medical technology. In addition, there are quite a few traditional and long standing supplements that can assist you in achieving a healthy prostate.
Lycopene is actually a pigment that is found in many vegetables. Ever wonder what makes your tomatoes red? It’s lycopene! Lycopene is also found in many other fruits and vegetables such as carrots and watermelons.
Our bodies don’t create lycopene, so we have to ingest it in our foods and supplements. Lycopene is an outstanding supplement and has been shown to maintain and improve prostate health. Lycopene also reduces the risks of other cancers and heart disease.
Another important, although less known supplement for prostate health is pygeum africanum. The bark of pygeum, which is a tree native to Africa, has been used to supplement prostate health for centuries.
Recent studies have discovered a superior supplement called beta sitosterol. This supplement has been shown to be many times more powerful than both saw palmetto and africanum combined.
Saw Palmetto is contained in the dried fruit of partially ripened fruit of the American dwarf palm tree. This tree is native to the coastal areas of the United States from the Carolinas to Florida.
Tests show that taking saw palmetto will provide relief from many symptoms of an enlarged prostate. These symptoms include frequent urination and nighttime urination which affect the overall quality of life.
Stinging Nettle is another therapeutic natural remedy. Stinging nettle is shown to help prevent an enlarged prostate, although it won’t heal an enlarged prostate. However, it will provide relief from the symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate.
These are just a few of the natural prostate health supplements available today to help men maintain a health prostate. Remember to tell your doctor when you start taking a new supplement.
