Description
Men face unique health needs and challenges, particularly as they age. Prostate health is one key to the quality of life for older men, yet many men over 40 will develop Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH).
What is BPH?
Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) is an enlargement of the prostate gland. As the gland swells it presses on the urethra resulting in a variety of symptoms including painful urination, reduced flow, difficulty starting or stopping flow and increased frequency of urinating at night. BPH is common in men over 40 years of age. Scientists estimate 50-60% of all men will develop BPH in their lifetime. The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research estimates that of 6 million men ages 50-79 suffering from BPH, only half seek a physician’s treatment.
How can Saw Palmetto help?
Vitabase Saw Palmetto is an all-natural formula designed to keep your prostate healthy and to relieve symptoms associated with BPH. Saw Palmetto is one of the most thoroughly studied and documented natural remedies for prostate problems. European studies since the 1960’s have showed that men taking saw palmetto experience significant improvement in urinary tract symptoms (+28%), peak urine flow (+24%) and overall urine flow (+48%). Recent clinical studies comparing saw palmetto to the leading prescription drug for BPH, found saw palmetto effective in almost 90% of patients after 6 weeks while the prescription drug was less than 50% effective.
When it comes to choosing a saw palmetto product, quality is much more important than quantity. Most companies sell a powdered form of saw palmetto which has been chemically altered, and has lost half of its potency. Studies have shown that in order for saw palmetto to be effective for prostate problems, it must contain 85-95% fatty acids and sterols. To get the appropriate amounts of the active components, you must select an oil-based product in a soft gelatin capsule. We are proud of the quality of our saw palmetto berry extract, which is manufactured by one of the top suppliers in the world.
Our Standardized Saw Palmetto Extract is produced by Euromed, a European phytopharmaceutical company. The extract is manufactured under strict European quality control standards without the use of harsh solvents. Like all European herbal extracts, the extraction of Saw Palmetto is regulated to the same high quality control standards as over-the-counter drugs in the U.S.
