Prevention and Treatment of Benign Enlarged Prostate
Enlargement of the prostate gland occurs in most men with advancing age and is accompanied by reduced urinary flow and increased residual urine volume. Hormonal imbalances have previously been blamed for age related prostate disorders, but other factors have been identified as causes of the benign proliferation of prostate cells (prostate enlargement) and accompanying urinary impairment caused by this condition. Men with severe prostate enlargement often use a combination of saw palmetto and pygeum to improve urine flow and bladder voiding. These men usually wake up less frequently at night to urinate.

Published scientific literature, along with ten years of reports from members of the Life Extension Foundation, show that saw palmetto extract is effective in alleviating symptoms of prostate enlargement in most men. Pygeum extract has been shown to specifically inhibit prostate cell proliferation by blocking the binding of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and other growth factors to prostate cell membranes. Pygeum has anti-edema effects that shrink the prostate gland significantly. Recent studies show it also inhibits the proliferation of prostate cells, by interfering with the activity of the enzyme kinase C that is needed by all rapidly growing benign and malignant cells.

Although more than 80% of men report improvement after using saw palmetto and/or pygeum extracts, some prostate enlargement often remains that continues to interfere with urinary flow and bladder evacuation. Urtica dioica, an herbal extract of nettle root that has been used in Germany for more than a decade to treat prostate enlargement, has been shown to reduce symptoms by 86% after 3 months of use. Learning of these studies, researchers at St. Luke’s/Roosevelt Hospital in New York conducted a study to discover the mechanism by which standardized nettle root extract relieves the symptoms of prostate enlargement. In their study, published in 1995, these scientists showed Urtica dioica inhibits the binding of a testosterone-related protein to receptor sites on prostate cell membranes. In January 1998, the Foundation made nettle root extract available in one formula combined with saw palmetto and pygeum. Saw palmetto, pygeum and Urtica dioica are approved drugs in Germany for the treatment of prostate enlargement.

Natural Prostate Formula is the first therapy that contains all three herbal extracts proven to shrink enlarged prostate glands. It attacks the common prostate condition that afflicts millions of men as they grow older via every mechanism known to reduce the size of the prostate.

The three herbal extracts contained in Natural Prostate Formula are the exact same pharmaceutical-grade, standardized extracts that have been shown to improve prostate function dramatically in aging men in many European studies. A standardized lycopene extract is included because of studies showing lycopene may help to prevent prostate cancer.
