FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Clinically trialled extract and dose of saw palmetto.
- Relieves symptoms of medically diagnosed benign prostatic hypertrophy.
- Easy to swallow capsules.
Blackmores Proseren contains a clinically trialled dose the herb saw palmetto which has been shown to relieve the symptoms of medically diagnosed benign prostatic hypertrophy (benign enlargement of the prostate) and may assist in the management of this condition.
Benign prostate enlargement is a common problem experienced by men over 40 years old. Symptoms include dribbling after urinating, weak urine stream, straining to urinate, slow or delayed start of the urinary stream. More than half of men in their sixties and as many as 90 percent in their seventies and eighties have some symptoms of benign prostate enlargement.
Numerous human trials report that saw palmetto improves symptoms of benign prostate enlargement such as urinary flow, improve bladder emptying and night time urination. Saw palmetto appears to help in preventing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT has been implicated in causing prostate enlargement.
Another possible mechanism of action of saw palmetto in benign prostate enlargement is thought to be due to its ability to reduce inflammation and swelling and reduce smooth muscle spasm.
