A lot of men develop enlarged prostate, which can cause blockage of urination and lead to symptoms like weak urinary stream, going to the bathroom frequently at night, dribbling, and more. The supplements in this video can shrink the prostate and improve symptoms of urinary obstruction. 1) Saw Palmetto - This is probably the most well known supplement for prostate health. Derived from the fruit of the saw palmetto plant, this herbal remedy has been used for centuries to support prostate health. Saw palmetto is believed to work by reducing inflammation and inhibiting the production of an enzyme that contributes to prostate enlargement, known as 5α-reductase. 2) Garlic: Consumption of high levels of garlic, based on preliminary evidence in humans, appears to significantly reduce the size of the prostate and improve symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. 3) Lycopene - found in tomatoes, lycopene has a role in the prevention and management of BPH mainly through its antioxidant activity. 4) Green tea extract - can have some benefits on prostate health. Green tea is rich in a particular type of polyphenols called catechins that are thought to help an enlarged prostate. It can reduce levels of dihydrotestosterone, the hormone that promotes the growth of the prostate. 5) Resveratrol is a polyphenol, a naturally occurring highly powerful antioxidant. Although you can find it in peanuts, blueberries and cranberries, it's most prominent in the skin of grapes and shines through in natural grape juice and red wine. Resveratrol is used for longevity and anti-aging, and is reported to inhibit the growth of prostate. 6) Pygeum Africanum. This extract comes from the bark of an African tree and has been used traditionally to alleviate urinary symptoms. Pygeum is thought to reduce inflammation, decrease prostate size, and improve urinary flow. 7) beta-sitosterol. Found in various plants, beta-sitosterol is a natural compound known for its ability to support prostate health. It helps reduce inflammation and may help shrink an enlarged prostate. 8) Stinging nettle root - this is an often-overlooked supplement with significant potential for treating an enlarged prostate. Despite its name, stinging nettle root has shown promising results in reducing BPH symptoms. It works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is involved in prostate enlargement. 9) Zinc -  The prostate gland stores zinc, which not only prevents prostate enlargement but may also help to shrink a prostate gland that's already swollen. BPH and prostate cancer have been associated with lower levels of zinc, so make sure you get your zinc! 10) Selenium - this micronutrient acts as an antioxidant and supports a healthy immune system.
