Serenoa repens known as saw palmetto has become enormous popular
in the United States and it is the fifth top-selling herbal
medicine on the market, according to a survey by Whole Foods
magazine.
In Europe, medical doctors for years have prescribed Saw
Palmetto and other phytomedicines to treat mild to moderate
cases of BPH. Today in Germany alone, the sale of BPH products
total 90 percent of sales which are using Saw Palmetto as their
number one source. So many people ask if there is another
alternative way.
Lets look what G.Popa et al. have found in their clinical
research in April 2005.

Efficacy of a Combined Sabal-Urtica Preparation in the
Symptomatic Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. Results
of a Placebo-controlled Double-blind Study This re-evaluation of
a double-blind placebo-controlled therapeutic study of the
combined sabal-urtica preparation PRO 160/120 investigates the
changes in the irritative symptoms of benign prostatic
hyperplasia (BPH) under the test substance in comparison with
placebo.It was found that,over the study period of 24 weeks,the
micturition symptoms frequency and urgency were statistically
significantly improved under the well-tolerated PRO 160/120 in
comparison with placebo. The patient 's quality of life was also
significantly better under PRO 160/120 in comparison with
placebo.
So G.Popa, who is a urologist, and his team comes to the
conclusion that the often distressing symptoms of BPH can be
effectively ameliorated already after only a few weeks of
treatment with the sabal-urtica preparation PRO 160/120. In
particular those patients with the stigmatizing symptoms urinary
urgency and frequency benefit from such treatment.
Maybe this could be a relief for people suffering from BPH. More
than 50% of men older than fifty are affected by an enlargement
of the prostate gland. Cause of that fact alone anyone could
realize how important this topic is for mankind.
