Ageing prostate, frequent urination & erectile dysfunction

When you are young, you never think about the complications of ageing. Except for the occasional time that your parents or elders fall sick, get a disease or die, it really does not cross your mind that one day, the same could be happening to you.

There are only 4 things you really can't escape from - Taxes, Death, Ageing and your Conscience.

Some simple statistics - the reality of ageing, getting old, sick and dying strikes 10% in their mid 30s, 30% in their early 40s, 50% in thier mid 40s and 10% when they reach early 50.

Until middle age, most men don't bother about their prostate, a walnut-size gland located below the bladder. What this gland does is to control what flows out of your penis - either urine or semen. Both cannot flow out at the same time.

But due to ageing and hormonal changes (just like women) , this glad swells and its called prostate enlargment or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Hormones are produced by your glands and you need to nourish your glands well to prevent glandular type complications.

With ageing, Testosterone declines and prolactin hormones increase, resulting in the increase of a hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) , which causes the prostate tissues to swell and clamp on the tubes carrying urine and semen out of your penis.

Some symptoms of a swelling prostate are:-
a) Incomplete emptying of the bladder resulting in frequent urination
b) Difficult to start the urine flow
c) Lower urine pressure or comes in spurts
d) Frequent urination at night
e) Standing too long at the urinal, while others have finished their no ones.

If you don't have these symptoms, you can also do a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test at your doctor to check your levels. A high reading indicates risk!.

There are certain herbs, vitamins and minerals that can balance your hormonal levels and reduce your symptoms and risk levels.

Look out for a formulation containing:-

Saw Palmetto fruit - an accepted medical product for treating prostate enlargement
Vitamin E - to dialate blood vessels and an antioxidant
Zinc - nourishes the testes and resist infections
Sasaparilla root- to balance glandular functions
Yohimbe - supports reproductive glands in both men and women
Damiania leaf - balances hormones
Licorice Root - nourishes adrenal glands to cope with stress
Gotu Kola leaf (longevity herb) - good circulation
Suma root (brazillian ginseng) - improves resistance and some call it an aphrodisiac
Siberian Ginseng - stimulates sperm formation and increase sperm count
Fo-Ti root
Ginger root
Nettle leaf

All these can be found in a product made in USA. You can read more at my eBay listing.

Does it work?, Well do your PSA test, take a bottle then do your PSA test again after 30 days and see for yourself. Well you don't need 30 days actually to see results, as most friends I recommend this product to, say it really lives up to its name - Perform!.

Sold in 17 countries for the last 15 years, and costing just RM 67 / S$ 37 for 100 capsules ( 30 day supply), it will be the best investment you make on yourself and your elders.

Yes, with this formulation, girls and women can take this to regulate their menstrual cycles and to reduce their menstrual cramps. My 2 older girls have been taking this, since reaching puberty.
