Saw Palmetto 450 mg Capsules for Prostate Health

If your doctor has excluded other, more dangerous conditions, you have an excellent chance of being able to treat your condition with the natural herb, Saw palmetto, without having to take dangerous prescription medications or undergo radical prostate surgery.

Saw palmetto is extracted from the berries of a small palm found throughout the southeastern United States. Long recognized as a useful medicine by Native Americans, the berries were prized as a treatment for impotence, infertility, and prostate inflammation,. The popularity of saw palmetto has occurred because of saw palmetto’s proven ability to treat prostate problems. Consequently, it is one of the highest-selling herbal cures in the U.S. today.

Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) is so common as men age that 90 percent of men over 80 suffer from the condition!

The conventional medical approach involves the use of two different types of drugs, both of which have unwanted side effects, including reduced sexual function, lowered blood pressure, and interference with PSA levels (important in screening for prostate cancer).

Increasing numbers of physicians are now turning to a natural alternative for dealing with BPH—saw palmetto. And why wouldn’t they? For many men, it may be just as effective in relieving symptoms as the conventional drugs.

And it is cheaper and comes with no unwelcome side effects!

As an indication of the seriousness with which the medical establishment now views saw palmetto as a real alternative to conventional drugs, the Journal of the American Medical Association published a review in 1998 of all clinical trials that had so far evaluated saw palmetto in treating BPH. They concluded that saw palmetto was definitely effective, with a marked improvement in symptoms. There is evidence that saw palmetto works at a basic level by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, a chemical process that may be the primary cause of BPH. This contrasts with the band-aid approach of prescription drugs, which reduce symptoms indirectly by either shrinking the prostate or relaxing muscles to avoid constriction.
