Almost all men over 50 will experience some degree of prostate enlargement. This condition, caused by changes in testosterone levels, is a risk factor for prostate cancer. Early indications of an enlarged prostate include obstructed urine flow, frequent urination, inadequate voiding, urine retention, difficulty in starting, strong urges, frequent discomfort (dysuria), and excessive nighttime urination.

Saw palmetto is a palm tree native to Florida. Saw palmetto berries have been used for centuries to alleviate the symptoms of an enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Numerous double-blind studies have shown that an extract of the berries significantly improve the symptoms of BPH. Roughly 90% of men with mild to moderate BPH showed some improvement in symptoms during the first 4–6 weeks of therapy. All major symptoms of BPH were improved, especially nighttime urination. Saw Palmetto from Webber Naturals is a fat-soluble, concentrated standardized extract containing 85–95% fatty acids, and is the same type of extract used in the majority of studies. This is a valuable natural way to prevent or improve symptoms of an enlarged prostate.
