European doctors have been prescribing a bark extract for years to help preserve prostate health and promote a man's overall well being. However, American scientists did't follow their lead until recently. After years of research, they have finally agreed that this extract was the missing ingredient in most prostate supplement formulas, causing them to fail.*
With this change of heart, new prostate supplements rose up. They are believed to ease BPH symptoms better and faster than ever before.
I will help you find your BPH relief in a minute, but first, let's take a look at what you're going through.
Like many men your age-and sometimes even younger-, you have felt that recognizable pressure for quite some time. You got used to waking up every night for frequent trips to the bathroom. You got used to never emptying your bladder completely. Finally, the pain, tiredness and bruised ego pushed you to get tested.
If you did get tested the results were alarming: your PSA levels were high. Too high.
If you didn't get tested but can relate to the symptoms you mnay have Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia-BPH for short. And it's a good idea to talk to your doctor to know for sure.
My name is Matt. I owned a "Nature First" shop for over 35 years. I've always lived in a small town and I loved taking the time to talk to my customers, listening to their concerns and helping them improve their health issues.
Long before Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia personally hit me, I helped men like you heal from this ailment. I helped them understand BPH. Understand that it is not a shameful illness. Understand that you are not diminished in any way. Understand that BPH affects 1 in 5 middle aged men.
Unfortunately, I didn't fully understand the degree of despair you might feel when you hear the diagnostic until I was myself diagnosed. Until I had to decide which solution I wanted. Until I had to take PSA test after PSA test, trying several solutions, discussing surgery. Until I feared going to the doctor-a man who had been my friend for years-because I was scared of what he would tell me. However, we found the right solution and, within weeks, my prostate was back to a normal size.
When I retired, I felt the need to share my experience. I wanted to help you-and all the men suffering from BPH-overcome these rough times. That's why I studied BPH to the bone.
Be ready to the surprise of what you will discover here.
BPH Effects More Men That You Might Think.
In fact, the histologic prevalence of BPH is approximately 10% for men in their 30s and 20% for men in their 40s. It reaches 50% to 60% for men in their 60s, and it goes up to 80% to 90% for men in their 70s and 80s. "No doubt, when living long enough, most men will develop some histologic features consistent with BPH."
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (or Enlargement) refers to the most common nonmalignant growth of the prostate observed very commonly in aging men.
Histologic BPH does not necessarily constitute a problem to the patient. In fact, many men will never see a doctor for this condition, nor do they ever need any solution for it. The condition becomes an issue if and when it is associated with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).*
About 1/3 of men with BPH have LUTS, as well as acute urinary retention.
This translates into symptoms that could interfere with your quality of life:*
Because of your symptoms, BPH could hurt your social life and prevent your from having a healthy life in the "bedroom" . But the right solution could help you feel better in no time.*
Once your find out that you have BPH, you have several options:
At the end of the day, it is a discussion you need to have with your doctor. Together, you will figure out your best option and how to remedy your condition. However, if you have the choice, I would always recommend an All-Natural Supplement coupled with a healthy lifestyle.*
When you start shopping around, you might be overwhelmed by the amount of supplements and their claims. You might even have tried some of them but they didn't work for you.
Many didn't work for me either. After several tryouts, I finally understood why, and that's what I wanted to share with you today.
I now have specific requirements when I recommend a supplement:
For the FDA, it means "the food does not contain added color, artificial flavors, or synthetic substances." No matter how complicated their name is, the ingredients in the supplement come from nature itself-they aren't fabricated in a lab with and from chemicals.
Through my research, I discovered that some ingredients should be on the label
Saw Palmetto BerriesThis plant is best known for its use in reducing symptoms of BPH and in reducing certain types of prostate infections. Saw palmetto doesn't shrink the overall size of the prostate, but it seems to shrink the inner lining that puts pressure on the tubes that carry urine. It is likely safe with recommended dosage of up to 320mg/day.
Selenium
Mineral naturally present in some of our food, your body uses selenium to make selenoproteins, essential for neutralizing free radicals. Therefore, selenium can help reduce the oxidative destruction of prostate epithelial cells, as well as reduce PSA levels*.
The antioxidant effects of selenium are increased when it is combined with other antioxidants especially vitamin E. Keep your intake of selenium between 60 and 400mcg/day and you'll receive the maximum benefits without side effects.*
A recent study of 100 BPH patients found stinging nettle effective in reducing prostate size as well as the symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate. Previous studies also reported reduced serum PSA (prostate specific antigen). In fact, stinging nettle has performed so well against BPH that even mainstream sources have taken notice.*
Comparing labels could lead you to discovering why, even with the right All-Natural ingredients, some supplements won't have any effect on you. Make sure that the concentration and the purity of the ingredients are maximal. A supplement with 320mg of Saw Palmetto at 25% will help you less than a supplement with 300mg of Saw Palmetto at 45%.
In my search for the perfect prostate supplement, I discovered that one of the most potent ingredients is often forgotten.
Pygeum Africanum
Pygeum africanum is an evergreen tree that grows in the mountainous forests of Africa. In France and other countries, phytotherapeutic preparations (nutritional compounds derived from plants) such as Pygeum are the most widely used herbs for the reduction of BPH*.
The powdered bark was traditionally used as a tea for relief of bladder and urinary disorders. The investigative work that European scientists did in determining the active constituents in the bark led to the development of the modern lipophilic (fat soluble) extracts used today. Thanks to the hundreds of studies that have been done in the past thirty years, we know that Pygeum is highly effective in helping to maintain a healthy prostate.*
A respectable company will follow the FDA guidelines, which will assure you of the quality of their ingredients and development process. They will also submit their supplement to blind 3rd-Party Tests and will share their results willingly. Look for the BBB logo on the company's website. It is a great indicator of a company's reputation.
There's a reason to pair ingredients together in a supplement. They're supposed to work in synergy towards a common goal. You should be able to find plenty of research supporting the formula of the supplement you decide to buy. You could also directly ask the company. A good company will be happy to explain why they used specific ingredients. They could also share their research.
You will find everything you need by reading customers reviews. People are usually free of speech when they're anonymous. So look on Amazon or other similar websites. Then go to the company website to purchase, you can usually get better prices.
A company that truly believes in their product will offer a longer guarantee so you can test the supplement and see if it works on your symptoms. I've always felt that an easy return/reimbursement policy was the sign of a great product.
I could keep the list going but you get my point: BPH symptoms CAN be reduced without chemicals. It's just a matter of finding the company you can trust. They will offer you the best all-natural supplement, with the perfect balance of ingredients working in synergy to help you get free from BPH symptoms.
