Saw Palmetto

Saw Palmetto has long been used in Europe to treat an enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). American physicians generally don't prescribe any drug other than Finasteride (Proscar), Terazosin HCI (Hytrin), or Doxazosin mesylate (Cardura) for BPH. But unlike these drugs, particularly Proscar, Saw Palmetto usually kicks in quickly. With the Saw Palmetto extract most men achieve some relief of symptoms within the first 30 days.

Saw Palmetto Has Shown To Be Beneficial For:
• prostate disorders
• Gaining “healthy” weight
• Improving digestion
• promoting hair growth/ regrowth (Both men AND women)
• Increasing strength/stamina
• Balancing hormone levels (Both men AND women)
• Improving fertility
• Reducing sexual dysfunction

Saw palmetto For prostate Disorders
• Saw palmetto appears to have efficacy [effectiveness] similar to that of medications like finasteride (Proscar), but it is better tolerated and less expensive. There are no known drug interactions with Saw palmetto, and reported side effects are minor and rare. - American Family Physician 2003;67:1281-3.
• Saw palmetto is widely used in other countries; for example, it is used in 50 percent of treatments for BPH [Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia] in Italy and in 90 percent of such treatments in Germany. - European Urology 1992;21:309-14.
• A major benefit of Saw palmetto is that it’s effects are generally seen only shortly after beginning treatment. Some people report noticing a reduction in symptoms in as little as 30 days. This is an advantage over most of the currently available drugs which can take as long as 6 to 12 months for effects to be seen.
• In one study, patients subjectively said that Saw palmetto helped improve BPH symptoms - 83 percent said it was effective after 45 days and 88 percent said it was effective after 90 days.
• Unlike the prescription drug Proscar (finasteride), Saw palmetto has proven similarly effective, but without side effects such as: decreased libido, ejaculatory problems, and loss of erection.

For all prostate disorders, Saw palmetto is the most popular herbal remedy. Suffer no longer. Try it today!

Saw palmetto For Hair loss
As you probably know, Saw palmetto is great for helping prevent prostate cancer and improving general prostate health, but what you probably don’t know is that its also great for preventing hair loss! Both men and women can suffer from hair loss (alopecia). Saw palmetto is beneficial for any adult who suffers from this condition. Hair loss develops when the level of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the scalp is too high. DHT binds itself to the hair follicles, decreasing the amount of nutrients they can extract from blood. The follicles gradually shrink and the hair growing from them becomes thinner. If nothing is done to treat this condition, the hair disappears completely. To prevent and treat hair loss, the level of DHT in the body must be decreased. There are prescription drugs designed to inhibit DHT (such as Propecia), which block conversion of free testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. Being synthetic substances, prescription drugs for treating hair loss often have serious side effects, such as gynecomastia (abnormal breast enlargement in males) and even erectile dysfunction. Saw palmetto, on the other hand is a herbal DHT inhibitor. While it has a similar mechanism of action to Propecia, it does NOT cause side effects such as those associated with Propecia and other prescription drugs.

Saw palmetto may stop or even reverse hair loss!

MSM

Are you looking for relief from joint pain? If so, look no further! MSM can actually help to repair damaged tissue rather than just suppressing pain. It can reduce the pain and discomfort that comes from degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis or from physical causes, including tendonitis, joint sprains, or hyperextension.

The Mineral MSM is known as “the beauty mineral”. Why? MSM provides sulfur, a vital building block of joints, cartilage, skin, hair, and nails. So if you would like to beautify your skin, increase the glossy, healthy look of your hair, and strengthen your nails, MSM is the answer you’ve been looking for!

How Does MSM Work?
MSM makes the cell walls flexible and elastic. If the amount of MSM in the body is too low, new cells lose some of their flexibility and elasticity. MSM makes cell walls permeable, allowing water and other nutrients to freely flow into cells and allow waste and toxins to properly flow out, thus healing connective tissue and reducing pain. MSM also reduces inflammation and permits the muscles to heal while preventing them from becoming sore.

Hope For Health’s MSM can help:
• Relieve joint pain and inflammation.
• Reduce or eliminate muscle cramps.
• Reduce or eliminate pain from arthritis.
• Improve suppleness of skin.
• Improve shine and gloss of hair.
• Help reduce wrinkles.
• Increase alertness & ability to concentrate.
• Improve mood.
• Beautify and strengthen nails, making them less prone to cracking and splitting.

MSM and Pain
• People who suffer from chronic pain have reported up to 80% less pain and inflammation when taking MSM Sulfur on a daily basis.
• MSM has been used over and over again for the relief of pain, head trauma, interstitial cystitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis.
• MSM reduces swelling that causes pain. It is so effective that doctors are often able to reduce or eliminate pain medication for patients with chronic pain.
• MSM has anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing properties, and can block the pain response in nerve fibers. Studies have shown that MSM is a safe and effective anti-inflammatory agent. It may also contribute to the integrity of joint cartilage and other connective tissue.
• In a study of 16 patients with degenerative arthritis, the patients who took 2,250 mg. of MSM daily for six weeks reported an 82% reduction in pain on average.
• Almost 50% of Americans seek treatment for pain each year; over 150 over-the-counter medications, known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, line store shelves, all promising temporary pain relief. These same medications have been associated with the following side effects: stomach pain, heartburn, stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, headaches, dizziness, and even liver or kidney problems. Medical authorities continuously caution physicians and patients against their repeated use. Still, each year in the U.S. more than 100,000 deaths and 1.5 million hospitalizations in the U.S. are linked to over-the-counter pain medications.

Don’t be another statistic. Natural and effective alternatives do exist! If you battle with pain or fatigue, don’t wait another minute! Try Hope For Health’s MSM today!

B-Complex

Want to be naturally beautiful? B-Complex is essential for clear, luminous skin, soft and shiny hair, youthful looks, and for delaying hair graying. B-vitamins ALSO counteract stress & anxiety! Skin trouble? Studies show that 40% of dermatitis sufferers lack B-vitamins. Since they play such a major role in activities throughout the entire body, many common health problems may simply be a lack of adequate B-vitamin nutrition.

B-Complex Vitamins Are Also Essential For:
• The breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose, which gives you energy!
• A normal appetite and fewer cravings.
• Optimal liver functioning and blood cell formation.
• The breakdown of fats and proteins, aiding normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Healthy muscle tone in the stomach and intestinal tract, which promotes healthy digestive
function.


Want to lose weight and stay fit?
B-Complex vitamins are some of the most important vitamins involved in weight regulation, fat utilization, energy production, and proper thyroid function. If you are trying to lose weight, supplementing with B-Complex vitamins may just be that extra push your body needs!


Hope for Health’s B-Complex Contains:
• Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) - Helps the body produce energy. Has a key role in enzymes that influence muscles, nerves, and the heart. Promotes a normal, healthy appetite.
• Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) - Encourages healthy thyroid function and metabolism. Promotes good vision and healthy skin.
• Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) - Maintains the health of the skin, nervous system, and digestive system. Essential for healthy thyroid function and thyroid hormone regulation.
• Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) - Boosts energy levels, normalizes hormone levels, helps the body to use and metabolize fat rather than store it.
• Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) - Promotes healthy skin and mucus membranes; aids in regulating thyroid hormone; and boosts metabolism. 
• Vitamin B7 (Biotin) - Helps release energy from carbohydrates; aids in fat synthesis; and promotes healthy hormone levels.
• Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid) - Has protective qualities against certain cancers; aids in red blood cell production; and contributes to a balanced metabolism.
• Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) - Aids in the development of healthy red blood cells. Strengthens and maintains the nervous system. Helps regulate use of other B-Vitamins. Increases energy levels and aids in weight loss.
• Choline Bitartrate - Needed for efficient fat metabolism. Choline deficiency leads to fats becoming trapped in the liver.
• Inositol - Aids choline in the metabolism and utilization of fat. (Helps process it so it is used rather than stored).
• Para Aminobenzoic Acid (PABA) - Reduces the appearance of wrinkles, keeps skin smooth, and is said to restore graying hair to its original color.

B-Complex and Cancer:
• There is evidence from studies looking at large groups of people showing that increased intake of vitamin B9 (folic acid) is linked to a lower risk of colon cancer, especially in people who are vitamin deficient  especially those who drink excess amounts of alcohol).

• Some of the studies looking at large groups of people have also shown a possible link between intake of vitamin B6 and lower risks of colo-rectal and breast cancers in women.
