Enlarged Prostate (BPH): A Common Part of Aging
Super Prostate - As a man matures, the prostate goes through two main periods of growth. The first occurs early in puberty, when the prostate doubles in size.
Saw Palmetto has been shown in many studies to have successfully decreased the size of the prostate gland in over 60% of patients studied. Pygeum Africanum was even more successful - over 70% of patients experienced a reduction in the prostate size.
By the age 50, nearly half of all men already have BPH. And by the age of 80, almost all men have it. As more and more men develop BPH, there is a definite trend toward an increasing incidence of prostate cancer.
