Saw Palmetto |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
 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).
