Help 4 Men

When we think about Men's Health, one of the first areas that come to mind is Prostate Health. The reason? More than half of all men, (actually closer to 60%), between the ages of 40 and 59 have an enlarged prostate gland.

This condition is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH for short. Symptoms include: progressive urinary urgency, frequency and awakening during the night to empty the bladder -- sometimes as often as three or four times a night. Also observed is a reduced force of urinary flow, intermittence and hesitancy of flow. The condition, if left untreated, can eventually obstruct the bladder outlet and result in retention of blood in the urine.

Saw palmetto extract can be effective in up to 90% of cases of BPH. Other supplements including zinc, Vitamin E and pumpkin seed oil are also believed to be helpful, (see Prostate Plus below as it includes saw palmetto and the other supplements).*

Other health conditions of interest to men, (and women), including heart disease, osteoarthritis, and more are covered in separate sections of the epic4health web site.

In particular, there is a wealth of valuable information about CoQ10; including what it is and how it can help if you are taking a statin drug, (Lipitor, Zocor and others). Plus, how Q-Gel CoQ10 is being used to help people with neurodegenerative diseases, mitochondrial cytopathies, renal failure, and many other health conditions. Below are a few products that may be of particular interest for men's health.
