(NC)-For men, the prostate gland is not something they ever think about, that is, until things go wrong.

This bagel shaped, muscular gland is situated just under the urinary bladder in the lower abdomen, and contributes to production of seminal fluid. Statistics tell us that as men age, four out of five will be affected by changes in their prostate gland. This could mean symptoms that affect urination or sex drive and they can range from uncomfortable to serious.

Medical treatments and drugs for prostate conditions can be helpful, but carry their own risks and side effects. Alternatively, there is an effective and safe herbal remedy from a small, low growing palm called Saw Palmetto.

Extracts from the berries of this palm are clinically proven to improve the function of the prostate gland, preventing further deterioration and helping to manage swelling. Urination improves, swellings shrink and other functions are restored with regular use of Saw Palmetto.

Liposterolic (fatty acid) extracts are the most effective. Palmitol is a convenient "one-a-day" preparation using a unique 85-95% liposterolic extract with added B6 and Zinc Citrate, delivered in a vegetarian capsule. Zinc is important in maintaining a healthy prostate and Vitamin B6 is required for its absorption by the body. This means you get a highly concentrated product that is faster acting than other products on the market. Avoid the adverse affects of drugs, and start early prostrate health care by using Palmitol.
