Men Over Fifty Find Relief With Saw Palmetto

The American Botanical Council, a non-profit research and educational organization, has produced a summary of scientific research regarding the benefits of the herb saw palmetto in men over the age of 50 who have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a condition affecting approximately half of the 50+ male population, and is marked by an enlarged prostate. The Council states that at least 18 studies, including double-blind studies conducted on more than 1,000 patients, point to saw palmetto's ability to help relieve symptoms. Researchers have discovered that saw palmetto can help increase urine flow, decrease the frequency of urination and reduce discomfort associated with BPH. Success: www.herbalgram.org
