Pollen Extract for the Treatment of Prostatitis

Q. Dr. Geo, I saw on the news that saw palmetto was shown to have no effect on prostate health. Is this true?

A. In the past, saw palmetto has been proven to be beneficial when compared to Proscar, a popular drug used for BPH that shrinks the prostate and relieves symptoms. The latest well designed study showed however that saw palmetto was not more effective than placebo but my view is that the combination of saw palmetto with other natural agents is still highly useful to many men suffering from Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS). Other useful agents include: rye pollen extract, pygeum, cranberry extract, beta sitosterol, etc which can be taken without the side effects of drugs. You can read more here.
