Prostate Health has become the male mid-life health issue!
Scope of the Problem:
Half of all 50-year old men in this country have Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (an enlarged prostate). Cancer of the prostate is the most common tumor in men in the United States with 232,090 new cases each year and 30,350 deaths expected each year.
34% of men in their 50’s and up to 70% of men in their 80’s have evidence of some stage of this disease.
What can you do to protect yourself?
There are specific dietary and lifestyle recommendations that will help. There is also a natural product that has been shown to be effective.
Why a nutritional supplement?
Saw palmetto was found to be more effective than the most prescribed medication without the negative side effects associated with this prescription drug.
There is only one problem. The Saw Palmetto must be free of pesticides and if you are not aware, pesticides are allowed to be in our foods. But pesticide residual is extremely damaging to the prostate. You must be sure the Saw Palmetto you are taking (or will take) is free of pesticides!
It takes a great company to guarantee that its products have no contaminates whatsoever in them.
How can you tell if your saw palmetto is safe?
Do the research. Write letters. If the product is inexpensive, you can assume it does not meet this requirement. It costs money to test every batch of raw material and every process in the manufacturing. You need to find a company that is meticulous in their screening for and eliminating pesticides and any and all toxins. I know of only one company that I am willing to trust.
