Saw Palmetto Keeps Prostates Healthy and Helps Prevent Baldness

Saw palmetto may be a man’s best friend. It’s the primary herb helping men maintain prostate health that’s very popular throughout Europe for its ability to relieve symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), otherwise known as enlargement of the prostate. In the U.S. where pharmaceuticals are the standard of care for prostate problems, saw palmetto is gaining popularity following several recent studies showing it provides relief from short-term urinary symptoms and other symptoms of BPH, as well as relief from inflammation of the prostate and cell proliferation. It also promotes hair growth in men with thinning hair or baldness. It provides these benefits safely, naturally and with no noted side effects.

Baldness and enlarged prostate go together, researchers say

Male-pattern baldness and an enlarged prostate go hand in hand, Spanish researchers reported Monday at a San Francisco meeting of the American Urological Assn. The findings hint that early hair loss could be sign that men are going to develop prostate disease and that preventive treatment should be begun, they said.
