How do beta-sitosterols relieve prostatitis symptoms?
Beta sitosterol does not work for prostatitis, which is an infection and must be treated accordingly. It is used to relieve symptoms of an aging prostate. Beta sitosterol works as a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor. This means that it reduces the number of enzymes that work to convert testosterone into another male hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is considered to be responsible for stimulating the growth of prostate cells causing the prostate to grow in size leading to aging prostate symptoms like difficulty in urinating. Beta sitosterol has a lot of scientific research to supports its efficacy.
