In-depth summary:
What is BPH?
Benign (nonmalignant) enlargement of the prostate gland is medically known as BPH or benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is thought that over 50% of men will have BPH during their lifetime. After the age of 80, almost every man has it.
What are the symptoms of BPH?
The most common symptoms include frequent urination, getting up to urinate at night, incomplete emptying of the bladder, waiting a while before the flow of urine begins; urgency, which is the inability to "hold it" and even incontinence. The symptoms of BPH and prostate cancer can be similar. Anyone suffering from any of the described symptoms should see a physician for a proper diagnosis.
Why does prostate increase in size?
The prostate gland undergoes the process of enlargement because of certain hormonal changes and some nutritional deficiencies.
What is the treatment of BPH?
The main treatment in the past has been a surgical procedure called a TURP (trans-urethral resection of the prostate) which removes some of the prostate tissue to increase the opening for the flow of urine. Medications, such as Hytrin, Cardura ,and Proscar improve some of the symptoms as well. Unfortunately, neither the surgery nor the medications really decrease the size of the prostate.
Prosta RX is a natural alternative for treatment
The Prostate Formula combines a number of natural substances that are known to improve the health of the prostate gland and may even decrease its size.
Vitamin E- Numerous studies indicate that Vitamin E substantially reduces the risk of prostate cancer. A study conducted in Finland followed 29,132 men from 1985 to 1991. The men who took Vitamin E, (50 IU's per day) experienced 41 percent fewer deaths from prostate cancer than those not receiving Vitamin E. (Heinonen O.P, Albanes D., Virtamo J, Taylor P.R., Huttunen J.K., Hartman A.M., Haapakoskim J., Malila N., Rautalahti M., Ripatti S., Maenpaa H., Teerenhovi L., Koss L., Virolainen M., and Edwards B.K.Prostate cancer and supplementation with alpha-tocopherol and beta- carotene: incidence and mortality in a controlled trial. J Natl Cancer Inst 90: 440-446, 1998).
Zinc - is probably the single most important nutrient for a healthy prostate. The normal prostate gland contains more zinc than any other organ. Zinc supplementation has been shown to diminish the symptoms of BPH and actually reduce the size of the prostate. (Bush I.M., Berman E., Nourkayhan S., et al. Zinc treatment for reduction of hyperplasia of prostate. Fed Proc; 35(3): 361, 1976.)
Saw Palmetto - (Serenoa repens, Sabal serrulata) has been demonstrated to have significant benefits in treating BPH. In Europe it is used extensively in treating BPH. Clinical studies demonstrate that 320 mg per day is an effective treatment for symptoms of BPH. A 1998 study by Harvard researchers found that Saw Palmetto extract was effective in the treatment of BPH. (Wilt T.J., Ishani A., Stark, et.al. Saw Palmetto Extracts for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. JAMA, 380:160-169, 1998.) Another study conducted in Germany found that taking 160mg of Saw Palmetto twice-daily reduced night time urination in 73% of the men tested. (Bach D., Ebeling L. Long-term drug treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia - results of a prospective 3-year multicultural study using Sabal extract IDS 89. Phytomedicine, 3:105-11, 1996.) Positive results with BPH usually take four to six weeks. Improved prostate health requires continual use of Saw Palmetto.
Pigeum Africanum -is an evergreen tree in Africa. Its bark has historically been used to treat urinary tract infections. It has been used to treat BPH in Europe since the 1980s. The results of many clinical trials demonstrate the effectiveness of Pygeum in reducing the symptoms of BPH. (Andro M.C. Riffaud J.P.. Pygeum africanum extract for the treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia: a review of 25 years of published experience. Curr Ter Res, 56:796-8, 1995.)
Pumpkin Seed- (Cururbita Pepo) A clinical study conducted in Germany in 1997 demonstrated that pumpkin seeds are beneficial for the treatment of mild to moderate BPH and their use seems well justified. (Blumenthal M., Busse W.R., Goldberg A. et al. (eds). The Complete German Commission E Monographs: Therapueutic Guide to Herbal Medicine, Boston: Integrative Medicine Communications, 193, 1998.)
Stinging Nettles, a common herb, improves BPH when it is combined with Pygeum Africanum.
Essential fatty acids (such as those found in flaxseed oil), Pumpkin Seed concentrate, Ginseng and PABA (Para-Amino-Benzoic Acid) are some of the other nutritional supplements that have been shown to be beneficial in BPH.
