How to Help Your Prostate

Super beta Prostate is an herbal supplement for men containing thirteen herbs and minerals to help maintain a healthy prostate (Source: Buzzle). It should be noted that the claims have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and as with all herbal supplements, a person should consult with his physician before using.

The Prostate

The prostate is a gland that encircles the urethra, producing some seminal fluid to act as a lubricant to help protect the urethra from infection. As a man ages, his prostate can enlarge, closing off the urethra leading to frequent urination and the possibility of a bladder infection (Source: WebMd).

Minerals for Prevention

The main ingredient beta sitosterol is a plant compound that has been found to help lower cholesterol, but researchers have discovered that beta sitosterol has the ability to reduce an enlarged prostate. More studies are currently being conducted as to the full extent of this compound (Source: AgriOrganics). Other minerals that are included with Super Beta Prostate include, Copper and Molybdenum to help with lowering the acidity in urine; Manganese and Boron have been shown to maintain prostate health; and Iodine, Zinc and Vitamin D to help boost the immune system.

Improve Urine Flow

As the prostate grows, it closes off the urethra slowly. This narrowing tunnel leads to frequent urination as well as the inability to completely empty the bladder; it also can lead to kidney and bladder stones that are painful to pass. Super Beta Prostate can help reduce the size of the prostate and reduce the risk of kidney and bladder stones.

Blood Sugar

High blood sugar levels can enlarge a prostate. Super beta Prostate helps even out (level) blood sugar levels, which can help keep the prostate from enlarging.

Side Effects

There are no known side effects, but a person should with his physician. Super Beta Prostate is not a cure or a treatment and as with all herbal supplements, it depends on the person who is taking the supplement. It should be noted that the ingredients that are used in Super Beta Prostate can interfere with any testing as well as medications that are currently being taken for prostate enlargement (Source: Prostate Problem Center).
