Saw Palmetto is nature's treatment of prostate enlargement and aids in maintaining prostate health

If your a male close to or over the age of 60, chances are you either have an enlarged prostate and don't know it or you most likely will develop prostate enlargement. The good news is that you can protect yourself through the use of saw palmetto herbal supplementation.

Saw palmetto, also known as serenoa repens and sabal, is an herb that grows in the southern United States from the Carolinas, throughout all of Florida into Mississippi and across the south toward California. The herb is derived from the berries of the saw palmetto tree and comes in various forms: tincture, tablet, softgel, herb/tea and capsule. It is used extensively throughout European countries, especially in Germany for the treatment of an enlarged prostate or in medical terms known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Saw palmetto is also helpful in treating bladder inflammation and bronchitis. Studies have shown that sabal stops testosterone from converting into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) thus preventing prostate cells from multiplying. An interesting positive effect is that it also reduces hair loss especially among men prone toward baldness.
