Prostate Health

 

As men get older, the risk of an enlarged prostate increases. This may lead to difficulties in urination as well as increased frequency, resulting in poorer quality of life, especially if this leads to frequent urination at night resulting in insomnia. If it becomes excessively large, it may be considered benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The herbal product saw palmetto can be an option to help support prostate health.
