Did you know that prostate research virtually stopped with the discovery of the herb Saw Palmetto? Well it has and even thought Saw Palmetto is a fantastic herb that keeps the prostate in check - there is something missing in the Saw Palmetto protocol.

Did you know that once a male hits 50 years of age he has a 50% chance of some kind of prostate cancer. At 80 years of age it goes to 80-90%?

No matter how active your sex life is, if you play some brand of sports every day of the week and sleep 10 hours a sight does not help with keeping your prostate healthy.

Keeping the prostate healthy is a big thing… If prostate health falls behind, the rest of the urinary “team” tries to pick up the slack!

The little tiny gland like the prostate has some “superman” responsibilities.

Keeping the muscular walls of the bladder in good shape is essential. You need bladder muscles to effectively empty once you get to that bathroom!

Crateva nurvala extract has been used for centuries in both Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for its tonic effects and ability to promote good bladder tone. An increase in muscle strength is essential to promoting a strong ’stream’, which helps the bladder empty completely.

In addition to crateva nurvala, horsetail (equisitum arvense) has an astringent effect on the bladder. It in effect keeps the bladder functioning normally.

The synergy effect of these two herbs has some very effective results. For example: 73 men and women between 29 and 88 were split into two groups. One group received a placebo, the other the crateva nurvala/horsetail combination. After 2 months 85% of the test subjects that had been receiving the crateva nurvala/horsetail combination as compared to the group that received the placebo. The participants reported that their quality of life had improved together with their overall health.

The way the crateva nurvala/horsetail combination works is it promotes healthy levels of testosterone, reduces levels of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) and reduces 5-alpha reductase. Many researchers believe that DHT and 5-alpha reductase are what cause prostate issues.

So the ingredient combination to look for is saw palmetto - 300-400mg, Selenium - 50-100mg, crateva nurvala - 100-300mg, horsetail - 1001 - 300mg.
NOTE: An increase in the dosage of crateva nurvala and horsetail may be increased to a maximum of 500mg daily for each over a period of time. Be on the lookout for any adverse side effects. Contact your health professional prior to any change in your supplements intake.
