Green Tea, Cucurbita Pepo or Pumpkin Seeds, Urtica Dioica or Stinging Nettle
Green tea contains a lot of healthy ingredients and antioxidants called catechins that can lower the rates of prostate enlargement. The polyphenol is known as epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), present in green tea, helps to reduce and curb overproduction of prostatic cells, reducing the enlargement of the prostate. It is also important to note that green tea contains caffeine as one of its active ingredients, caffeine increases bladder movements and may worsen the BPH, hence it is important to control the amount of green tea taken.
The phytochemicals [2] found in pumpkin seeds can reduce the effects of dihydrotestosterone on the prostate. It also blocks the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone.
Urtica Dioica or Stinging Nettle is an herbaceous plant grown in Europe. It contains properties that help to improve some BPH symptoms and is effective when used alongside other natural remedies.
