the health benefits of astragalus
Prostate Health Prostate health and prevention are extremely important for men and the statistics are alarming. Up to 85 % of men are likely to develop some type of prostate-related health issue before they turn 60 years of age. Prostate health, or the discussion of it, is taboo for many men, but it is a vital part of a man’ s sex life, and symptoms can be unpleasant and painful if the prostate becomes enlarged or where there is an infection. Cancer of the prostate is also very common. The prostate is a walnut-sized gland situated beneath the bladder and in front of the rectum. The gland surrounds the tube carrying urine from the bladder. Soy has been found to be highly beneficial for prostate health as it contains isoflavones that prevent damage to DNA by free radicals. It has powerful antioxidants. Taken alongside astragalus, it also provides a two-fold defense strengthening the immune system.
