When men grow old they experience hormonal changes that cause the prostate gland to grow. Prostate cells multiply as a result and pretty soon the prostate may grow so big that it affects urinary flow and function. If you're looking for natural options at this time, you might try beta sitosterol. There are scientific studies that support its use and you'll find them online.
