Promoting prostate health

-
Men who hit the age of 40 and above commonly experience a condition in which they either have difficulty urinating or suffer from frequent urination.

This problem is usually the result of an enlarged prostate gland, which normally undergoes a growth spurt sometime in the fourth decade of a man’s life which can affect urination.

The symptoms of this condition, which is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), can become bothersome and frustrating. Sleep is disturbed often due to the frequency of the urge to urinate during the night; the urge to urinate can be so strong and sudden that one may not make it to the toilet in time; the urine stream is slow to start, and there’s a sensation that the bladder is not fully emptied after urination, as well as the feeling of needing to go again a few minutes after urinating.

These are just among the prostate-related problems that Nutrilite, the world’s leading brand of multivitamins, minerals and dietary supplement, seeks to relieve.

For middle-aged men experiencing BPH and other age-related urinary complications, Nutrilite offers its saw palmetto and nettle root herbal remedy for better prostate health.

Available in softgel capsules, this product contains a blend of saw palmetto, nettle root, and pumpkin seed oil extracts to assist the health of prostate function and normal urinary flow.

It also contains Nutrilite’s exclusive phytonutrient plant compounds to provide additional nutritional benefits.

Saw palmetto has been used as far back as the time of the native Americans to treat urinary problems. Evidence is building that this herb – extracted from the dark purple berries of the American saw palmetto plant – may help treat BPH. It is already an accepted medical treatment for BPH in Germany, Austria, Italy and other European countries.

The nettle root, meanwhile, is part of an ancient herbal remedy that is also used to treat urinary tract inflammations and the discomforts of an enlarged prostate. Likewise, pumpkin seed oil has been used as folk medicine, and preliminary studies have shown that it reduces hormonal damage to prostate cells.

Nutrilite’s expertise in extracting the beneficial qualities of these whole plant sources is a heritage of technology, research and innovation that dates back to over 70 years.

The brand employs only the most advanced scientific processes and facilities, the most comprehensive research and the strictest quality control measures to produce some of the world’s finest supplements.

Nutrilite, in collaboration with the Urological Sciences Research Foundation in Culver City, California, USA, undertook a double-blind, placebo-controlled study that included 44 men with BPH to gauge the efficacy of the saw palmetto and nettle root herbal remedy.

The results showed that the male subjects, after taking the Nutrilite saw palmetto and nettle root herbal blend for six months, experienced a significant decrease in epithelial thickness of their prostate tissue.

Improvements were also observed in BPH symptoms and urinary flow rates, similar to other published research in Europe.

Nutrilite recommends an intake of three softgels of its saw palmetto and nettle root daily. This dosage will provide 327 mg. of saw palmetto and 245 mg. of nettle root – amounts equal to the levels used in clinical studies demonstrating beneficial effects.

The Nutrilite saw palmetto and nettle root is now available in the country through Amway, the global leader in the multi-level direct-selling business for over 45 years.
