Have prostate problems compromised your lifestyle? Have you cut down on travel, do you make frequent trips to the bathroom, endure disrupted sleep at night? You are not alone: Prostate enlargement is becoming an increasingly more prevalent health condition with American men as the population ages. Half of all men over the age of fifty will develop benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, a condition that involves a congested, enlarged and inflamed prostate. BPH is marked by frequent urination (especially at night), sudden need to urinate, pain or burning, feeling your bladder is never completely emptied, dribbling or leaking and weak stream. The prostate is a variable-sized gland located in the male pelvis, usually the size of a walnut. It is found behind the pubic bone, in front of the rectum, below the bladder and surrounds the urethra, which carries urine from the bladder. Because the symptoms of BHP have intruded into the lives of so many otherwise healthy men, Vitamin Depot Online.com has developed a superior herbal product containing two effective herbal supplements with a proven record of helping the body to support a healthy prostate. Prostate Health Support I is a unique blend of Saw Palmetto and Nettle, two all-natural medicinal extracts associated with men's health and particularly prostate health. If the above symptoms are familiar to you, or if you are changing your lifestyle to accommodate urinary problems, you should know about Prostate Health Support I. A healthy prostate can free you from the prostate and urinary problems that have interfered with your life and let you return to all the activities you enjoy, without compromising your lifestyle.

Benign Prostate Enlargement is also called Benign Prostate Hyperplasia and is caused by the accumulation of testosterone in the prostate where it is converted into a compound (DHT) that stimulates cells to multiply excessively, thus causing the prostate to enlarge. Saw Palmetto appears to inhibit the intra-prostatic conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Although it is a condition that does not decrease sexual function, it does cause swelling, pain and excessive urination in men. In Germany, Saw Palmetto is sold as an alternative medicine in an over-the-counter treatment for benign prostate enlargement, and modern researchers are now rethinking Saw Palmetto's age-old treatment for prostate disorders. Many studies, although inconclusive, are shedding new light on the subject of Saw Palmetto's efficacy as a feasible treatment. This natural herbal supplement is also a diuretic and urinary antiseptic, two qualities that additionally support a healthy prostate by promoting a healthy flow of urine and destroying harmful bacteria in the urinary tract.

Nettle has been used for centuries to nourish the urinary tract. Long used as a diuretic, it cleanses the entire system by promoting the production and flow of urine and also aids kidney and bladder function. The herb is used to expel gravel from the bladder, flush toxins from the system and combat urinary infections. In the specific case of men's health, the herb has been helpful in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. (Click here for more information on Nettle)
