Supplements for Prostate Health
Supplements for Prostate Health usually contain the herb Saw Palmetto, which is frequently recommended for men diagnosed with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) or benign enlargement of the prostate.
Saw palmetto is also used to treat urinary tract infections, increase sperm production, and increase sex drive in men. Saw palmetto is a small creeping palm (Serenoa repens), commonly found in the Southeast United States, with spiny-toothed leafstalks. Native to the West Indies, saw palmettos grow up to 10 feet tall.
A study published in the journal Phytomedicine with 309 men that lasted for 3 years proved 50% of saw palmetto users reported an increase in flow of urine. Saw Palmetto also showed lower volume of urine left over trapped in the bladder. Only 30% improvement was noted among synthetic pharmaceuticals users.

Tips for Choosing Nutritional Supplements
- Vitamins, minerals and other nutrients work best when they're combined in a way that mimics nature as closely as possible.
Look for nutritional supplements that have nutrients combined to make use of the natural synergy between them.
- Companies willing to give a full disclosure and description of their ingredients have usually put more effort and research into their product.
For example, instead of just saying "Calcium" the label should be more detailed like this: "Calcium (from 2430 mg Citrate, Malate, Ester-C)". This description indicates that higher quality ingredients and more up-to-date research was used for the supplement.
- Produced at pharmaceutical GMP (good manufacturing practices) facilities
In the United States, nutritional supplements are regulated as a food product rather than the more restrictive regulations that drugs fall under. Currently, compliance to GMP standards is voluntary so it's important to do your own research to verify that macro-biological testing is done at every stage of production to make sure that the lab did not contaminate the product.
(This issue shouldn't be taken lightly - studies by Consumerlab
have shown that some supplements don't have the
true amount of ingredients as stated on the label, or may harbor toxic contaminants.)
Pharmaceutical grade supplements
(sometimes called nutriceuticals) are made for "professional" use in the
health care field by natural health care providers and consumers who want
the best.
