Prostate Health
Once men reach 40, their testosterone balance starts to gradually shift. This shift can trigger changes in their prostate: a small, walnut-sized gland that lies just beneath their bladder. Their prostate cells can enlarge, causing the gland as a whole to grow.
Because the prostate sits so close to the bladder and urethra, this enlargement can affect the way men urinate. Aside from any urinary symptoms, most prostate enlargement is benign. However, because some prostate conditions are serious, men over 40 should always ask their doctors for an annual prostate checkup.
Several specific herbs and nutrients have been shown to help with the effects of prostate enlargement. Find out more about how to maintain a healthy prostate gland with Wagner below.
