Benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph) is the most common prostate problem in men. Suspected to be a normal part of the aging process in men, it is caused by changes in the balance of hormones and growth factors. The incidence of bph increases progressively with age. Symptoms of an enlarged prostate include difficulty starting or stopping urination, interrupted sleep for frequent urination at night, and a frequent sense of urgency and slow urine flow. Saw palmetto berries contain a diverse group of biologically active fatty acids and phytosterols and have been the subject of extensive research for prostate support. Saw palmetto is the best studied of the natural therapies for bph. These studies indicate that saw palmetto not only helps reduce the symptoms of bhp, but additionally has been demonstrated to shrink prostate tissue. Lycopene, from tomato extract, has demonstrated significant association with prostate cellular health, while pomegranate, standardized for ellagic acid, has been found to be important to good health.
