Clinical Research Suggests Pollen Extracts Reduce Painful Symptoms of Prostate Disease
(ARA) - Men who suffer from prostate conditions take note -- clinical research suggests that pollen extracts can reduce non-cancerous prostate enlargement and painful symptoms associated with prostate disease. Dallas Clouatre, Ph.D., researcher, lecturer, and author of Flower Pollen for Prostate Health reports that consumption of pollen extracts among men with prostate problems results in less nighttime urination, improved bladder emptying, and reduced prostate discomfort. This is welcome news for millions of men across North America.

The National Institutes for Health report that 50-60% of men between 40-60 years of age suffer some form of prostate condition, and this percentage increases sharply as they age. Dr. Clouatre says that pollen extracts help relax smooth muscle, making it easier to empty the bladder. They also act as an anti-inflammatory and decrease the swelling of the prostate. This can reduce pinching of the urethra, which results in a better urine flow; and pollen extracts also reduce enlargement of the prostate by improving the body's ability to remove the dihydrotestosterone (DHT) from the prostate. Dr. Clouatre reports that 80% of those using pollen extracts find marked relief and that pollen extracts may also forestall future problems.



"Patients often report that they are no longer getting up at all during the night and that they no longer have difficulty or discomfort upon urination," he says. He advises that men age 40 and older consume a diet of less than 20% fat, high in fiber from fresh fruits and vegetables, high in mineral and vitamin content and low in sodium. Drinking adequate water and avoiding caffeine, alcohol, smoking, and spicy foods can help. "Like most health conditions, a healthy diet will go a long way in reducing risk factors."
