Basic Pygeum Herbal 60 Vegetarian Capsules

The population of America is aging. As a result, more and more people are afflicted with medical conditions primarily affect those over the age of 60. Men and women have their own specific gender-related conditions to deal with. For men, the prostate—largely ignored for decades—may begin to make its presence known.

There are three prostate diseases that you should be aware of: an enlarged prostate, prostate cancer, and prostatitis (an inflamed prostate). They vary in seriousness, with cancer obviously the most severe, but any one of them is a cause for concern. The most common condition—and the one that you or the men in your life are most likely to develop—is an enlarged prostate. The prostate surrounds the urethra, the tube that passes urine. When you have an enlarged prostate, it can press on your urethra, causing urination and bladder problems. Fifty percent of American men in their 60s, and as many as ninety percent of men aged 70 or older, may develop this condition.

When accompanied by a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight, Thorne Research’s Basic Pygeum Herbal can promote prostate health. The ingredients of these vegetarian capsules include:

• Standardized extracts of pygeum (African plum tree) bark and saw palmetto fruit, both of which are associated with healthy functioning of the male urinary tract. Saw palmetto has been indicated to reduce the need for nighttime urination.
• The amino acids alanine, glycine, and glutamic acid, which are needed to maintain normal prostate function.

This 60-capsule bottle will last for three to four weeks if taken at the recommended dosage of one capsule, two to three times daily.
