Are you familiar with Beta-sitosterol yet? If not you should be.
Beta-sitosterol is a naturally occurring phytosterol found in low concentrations in many of the fruits and vegetables that form part of a healthy diet, and has been found to be very beneficial for the prostate gland.
Studies show that from the age of 40, the prostate begins to grow. When the severity of the prostate issue increases, the quality of life goes down.
Beta-sitosterol is relatively more abundant in most nuts and seeds and especially rich in a few plants such as saw palmetto, stinging nettle, pygeum africanum, and pumpkin seeds. High levels are found in rice bran, wheat germ, corn oil, and soybeans.

It is also found in concentrated amounts in herbal supplements like Maximum Prostate which is available without a prescripition.
