A critical review of Cernitin for Symptomatic Relief of Lower Urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in Men A Critical Review of PollenAid for Symptomatic Relief of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in Men

چکیده
We reviewed published data concerning the ability of a defined flower pollen ex-tract derived from rye, corn, and timothy, commonly referred to as PollenAid to provide symptomatic relief in men suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). This same defined pollen extract has also been called PollenAid TM , Cernilton, and Prostaphil in other reports and is commercially available as Graminex TM Flower Pollen Extract. To maintain clarity, however, we will only use the term PollenAid to describe the defined pollen extract. In writing this review, our major goal is to present evidence concerning the therapeutic role of PollenAid TM in the management of mild to moderate LUTS. Nevertheless, we briefly describe prostatic perturbations in general and other natural therapeutic approaches to alleviate symptoms caused by them.
