If you are a man and you are over 40 years old, it is very likely that you have started to notice urinary problems. They begin to appear from the age of 40, at 70 years it affects 80% of men and 90% of those over 85. It is a benign enlargement of the prostate, related to age and with low levels of Testosterone, slow growing that causes a lot of discomfort and has a significant impact on quality of life. The growth of the prostate causes compression of the urethra as it passes through the gland, causing a series of secondary discomforts: difficulty in starting to urinate, a thin, less powerful and intermittent stream of urine; feeling of not having emptied the bladder after urinating; you have to urinate many times during the day (frequency) and at night (nocturia); there may also be urinary incontinence, abdominal pain, discomfort when urinating. Sabal serrulata and Pygeum africanum, are two plants of traditional use for prostate problems; They, together with Green Nettle and Pumpkin Seeds, have been shown in different scientific studies to be helpful in improving the typical urinary discomfort of middle-aged and elderly men. These plants are rich in phytosterols, which can inhibit the enzyme 5-α-reductase, responsible for the conversion of testosterone to its active form, dihydrotestosterone. This helps to reduce the size of the prostate and to improve the associated discomfort. Boswellia serrata is a protective plant for prostate health, which can help reduce the production of inflammatory compounds that are usually elevated. Lycopene, a natural tomato pigment, is a powerful antioxidant. Extensive scientific bibliography supports that its consumption in the diet is associated with a lower risk of oxidative phenomena and cell proliferation. Zinc is a mineral that contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative damage and the maintenance of normal levels of testosterone, as well as being an important element in the composition of prostate fluid. And supplementation with Vitamin D has been linked to a reduction in the size of the prostate and associated discomfort.
