Saw Palmetto Extract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
A member of the palm
family, saw palmetto is found in coastal regions, like Texas and
Florida. The fruit and seeds of the saw palmetto plant have been used
for years to regulate hormonal imbalances, and support and tone the
glandular tissues of both men and women. Saw palmetto also strengthens
the
thyroid, which controls overall gland function.
An herb used to
tone and strengthen male and female reproductive systems, saw palmetto
relieves testicular inflammation, inhibits the hormone responsible for
prostate enlargement, and reduces breast tenderness related to
breast feeding and menstruation.
Saw palmetto's
antiseptic and astringent properties help to ease inflamed and irritated
tissues of the urinary tract. Expelling toxins and irritants by
stimulating urine flow, saw palmetto may help reduce the risk of urinary
tract infections.
As an expectorant,
saw palmetto alleviates coughs and congestion brought on by
asthma,
bronchitis and colds. Saw palmetto may also be used to balance the
metabolism, aid digestion and stimulate the
appetite to increase weight gain.
Take two capsules
of Saw Palmetto 3 times a day with meals or take two capsules of Saw
Palmetto Concentrate once a day. Saw Palmetto Gives Prostate Relief!
50 to 60% of men will experience benign prostatic
hyperplasia (BPH), the swelling of the prostate gland. The prostate
gland surrounds the urethra--imagine a rubber washer (prostate) with a
straw (urethra) strung through it, and you have the basic setup. As the
prostate gland swells and pinches closed the urethra, problems begin to
emerge: painful urination, decreased flow, difficulty stopping or
starting flow, nocturnal urination, etc.--these are clearly unpleasant
and undesirable symptoms. Do Not Self-Diagnose BPH!
BPH is a potentially life-threatening situation, if left untreated it leads to kidney problems, and can kill! Symptoms of BPH are difficult to distinguish from those of prostate cancer, and a simple test called a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test can make all the difference in the world in terms of treatment regimens. Talk to your doctor about BPH treatment. You may be surprised at how open doctors are to "alternative" treatment of BPH with Saw Palmetto. If your doctor is reluctant, give him/her the list of references at the bottom of this page. Side Effects of Saw PalmettoRare gastrointestinal disturbances, otherwise none. How Much Saw Palmetto To TakeMost of the studies done on Saw Palmetto have been on supplements right around 160mg of Saw Palmetto standardized at 85-95% fatty acids and sterols, taken twice daily. Other Considerations with Saw PalmettoSaw Palmetto is the best first line of attack in relieving BPH, but it is not the only one, nor are the hormonal changes described above the only aggravating factors. Other things that have been shown helpful include zinc, Flaxseed Oil, amino acid, Stinging Nettle, Pygeum, and Cernilton supplementation, high protein diet, and increased consumption of soy products. Other aggravating factors are beer (sorry, its the hops), cadmium (from cigarette smoke), peroxidized cholesterol (take your antioxidants!), and pesticides (common on non-organically grown fruits and vegetables).
