Saw palmetto is the mpst helpful herb for age-related prostate enlargement and hair loss. The prostate gland grows larger as men age, a condition known as benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). By age 40, 10% of men develop BPH. By age 50, 50% of men have enlarged prostate glands. Prostate gland encircles male urethra, and enlargement in prostate gland blocks urinary passage, causing BPH symptoms including bedtime and frequent urination. BPH is caused by the formation of dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) fruits (and also licorice and pumpkin seeds) have been demonstrated to inhibit DHT formation through the inhibitory effect on 5-alpha-reductase activity. Inhibition of DHT formation is also known to be beneficial for hair growth if you are experiencing age-related hair loss. For hair growth and restoration, you should also see Hair Million, an excellent herbal formula that works for women as well as men, and has a great anecdotal track record.
German Commission E endorses the use of Saw palmetto berries for urinary and BHP problems. In traditional Chinese medicine, Vaccaria segetalis seeds have been used to help improve blood circulation and reduce swelling in breast or testicles, and Dianthus herbs have been used for urinary dysfunction. Pumpkin seed is also known to be benefitial for BPH.
