Answer : THE prostate is a doughnut-shaped male sex gland. It is located right beneath urinary bladder and surrounds urethra, a tube which drains bladder. The first signs of prostate enlargement tend to be related to urination problems. As men get older, prostate has a natural tendency to enlarge. The primary cause is a change in hormone levels. As one ages, testosterone level drops but other hormones such as prolactin, oestradiol and sex hormone-bind- ing ligand, increase.

The typical symptoms of BPH are frequent urination (every 30 minutes or so), especially at night, with small amounts of urine; a sudden, urgent desire to urinate; a thin and weak stream of urine even with extra "effort"; having to wait longer to start urination; dribbling even after you have emptied bladder; straining to urinate; and a feeling that you have to go again even though you have just passed urine.

Answer : SPIRULINA, with its high concentration of functional nutrients, is emerging as an important therapeutic food. It is an excellent source of complete protein, beta-carotene, B vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll and enzymes, which occur in their natural form for optimum assimilation.

It also contains essential fatty acid, gamma linolenic acid (GLA) found in mother's milk, and evening primrose oil. It helps to strengthen immune system; support cardiovascular function; improve gastrointestinal and digestive health; enhance natural detoxification and reduce cancer risks with antioxidant protection. Due to these beneficial effects, spirulina is a good supplement for diabetics.
