Prosta-Strong RED™ is a multi-pronged formula designed to support optimal prostate health and normal urinary flow. This comprehensive formula supplies saw palmetto, a small palm native to Florida that has a long history of supporting prostate health.

Saw Palmetto extract supports optimal prostate health. Pumpkin seeds, Beta-sitosterols and fish oils supply natural fatty acids and plant sterols that supply valuable nutritional support for the prostate gland. Prosta-Strong® also supplies quercetin, a flavonoid that exhibits antioxidant properties.

Various natural substances may boost prostate health, but zinc, saw palmetto, and lycopene are the most well-liked ones in these supplements. Beta-Sitosterol: Beta-sitosterol is a plant sterol shown to improve urinary symptoms related to an enlarged prostate.

Supplements cannot cure or treat prostate-related issues. However, many claim to help prevent or lessen the symptoms associated with prostate problems, generally by reducing inflammation. The prostate gland wraps around the urethra and helps produce fluid in semen.

Common side effects may include:

• nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation;
• headache, dizziness; or.
• impotence, sexual problems.

If you're looking for clear-cut proof that supplements can nudge you toward a clean bill of health for your prostate … well, it's not exactly there. In fact, in some instances taking prostate health supplements may even lead to prostate problems.

Pumpkin seeds: These and pumpkin seed oil extract seem to help with BPH symptoms and may shrink the size of the prostate. It may also be helpful when used along with other supplements such as saw palmetto.

5-alpha reductase inhibitors. These medicines shrink the prostate. They do this by preventing hormone changes that cause the prostate to grow. Examples include finasteride (Proscar) and dutasteride (Avodart). They might take up to six months to work well and can cause sexual side effects.

Answer: Interestingly, the supplements most commonly used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH), do not reduce the overall size of the prostate. As discussed in the Prostate Supplements Review, these two supplements are beta-sitosterol and saw palmetto.

Research has shown that prostate supplements are generally well tolerated and have little to no side effects. However, it is important to be aware that while prostate health supplements are safe to use as part of your vitamin and supplement regimen, people under the age of 18 should not be taking prostate supplements.

Besides teas, other drinks can help improve overall prostate health and potentially reduce symptoms of BPH:

• Water. Staying hydrated is crucial for overall good health, including that of the prostate.
• Tomato juice. Tomatoes are a good source of lycopene.
• Citrus juice. Citrus fruits are a great source of vitamin C.

The outlook for people with BPH is very good. BPH doesn't have a cure, but treatments can help alleviate your symptoms. Mild symptoms may not require treatment. Medications, surgery and minimally invasive treatments can treat more severe cases.

There are several treatment options for an enlarged prostate. You can take alpha-blockers such as terazosin (Hytrin) or tamsulosin (Flomax) to help relax the prostate and bladder muscles. You can also take dutasteride (Avodart) or finasteride (Proscar), a different kind of medication for reducing BPH symptoms.

Treatment for BPH has long been medications and procedures, such as lasers or an electric loop, which burn the prostate from the inside out. But, now, a relatively new convective water therapy treatment uses steam to make the prostate smaller.

Try to make healthy diet and exercise changes:

1. Drink less at night. Don't drink anything for an hour or two before bedtime.
2. Limit caffeine and alcohol. They can cause the body to make more urine, irritate the bladder and make symptoms worse.
3. Watch what you eat.
4. Become more active.
5. Stay at a healthy weight.
