Herb Valley Saw Palmetto 1800mg 60 CapsulesSaw Palmetto is a type of palm tree, also known as Dwarf Palm and its primary medicinal value lies in the oily compounds found in its berries. Saw palmetto is believed to inhibit the actions of Dihydrotestosterone or DHT (a potent form of testosterone) on the prostate that causes prostate enlargement and interference with urinary flow. Among the main constituents of Saw Palmetto are fatty acids and sterols. The fatty acids are purported to be responsible for testosterone-inhibiting effects within the prostate. Saw Palmetto is shown to improve urinary flow and reduce the frequency and urgency of urination in men with prostate enlargemen (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH). The excessive presence of DHT has also been linked to androgenetic alopecia and hence Saw Palmetto may also be beneficial in me suffering from this condition. Therapeutic Benefits Relieves symptoms of medically diagnosed Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy such as frequent urination and painful urination. May assist in the management of alopecia. Active Ingredients per tablet Serenoa serrulata (Saw Palmetto) fruit extract soft concentrate standardised…180mg Equivalent to dry Serenoa serrulata (Saw Palmetto) fruit …1800mg Contains Fatty acids…160mg Non Active Ingredients Linseed (Flaxseed) Oil Gelatin Glycerol Iron Oxide Red Iron Oxide Black Iron Oxide Yellow Additional Information No added sugar, salt, yeast, gluten, starch, wheat, corn, milk derivatives, preservatives, artificial colours and sweeteners.

Hilde Hemmes Herbals Prostalobium 1000mg 60 CapsulesThe prostate gland is quite a mystery to most people. The gland is located in the male genital area and positioned behind the base of the penis, immediately below the bladder and surrounds the urethra (the urinary tube that leads from the bladder to the outside). It is an important gland of the male reproductive system whose main function is to produce an alkaline fluid. This fluid is secreted continuously, and the excess passes from the body into the urine. The rate of secretion increases greatly during sexual stimulation and the fluid contributes to the bulk of the semen. Proper prostate secretion is thus essential to proper sperm action. Once a man reaches the age of 45, prostate health becomes most important. Many men are reluctant to discuss this embarrassing subject - are you one of them? Medicinal Use ProstaLobium® contains the herb epilobium, a traditionally-used western herbal medicine that maintains normal prostate and urinary tract function. Once a man reaches 45, prostate health becomes very important - an embarrassing topic for many men. For many, Hilde Hemmes' ProstaLobium® has become their best friend and is no longer 'secret men's business'! Taken regularly, ProstaLobium® has anti-inflammatory and exudative properties.
