5-6 pees a night down to 1

Just want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Chartist.

My prostate is twice its normal size and I had been getting up to pee (trickle) 5 to 6 times a night and this severely impacted on my sleep. Chartist's article on Grape Seed Extract resulted in me purchasing some capsules which I take 2x before bed and I am now only having one pee a night.

Sincerely mate, you have my greatest appreciation. Thank you

Excellent. Can you post where you got the extract ?

Couldn't find it in Australia so ended up getting it from Ebay UK. Postage was around a month.

Do you mean the 20 day old post in the Parkinson’s disease group that reads like a product testimonial from an infomercial?

If not, could you link the post that you’re talking about?

What's the difference between high strength grape seed and grape seed extract? Perhaps Chartist could let us know.

So, you can’t or won’t share the post you’re talking about?

So we have a “my friend” testimonial and your own three week or less “experience” testimonial and already people are asking where to buy some.

Are you sure it’s not placebo effect?

Following the trail backwards, it seems that 'Chartist' is a member of the Cure Parkinson's site and this post probably stems from there. Grape seed extract seems to have multiple health benefits but I couldn't find anything specifically about it reducing the need to pee during the night.

Right, I followed the same trail and found the same results (or lack of).

Hey, you mob. I'm only reporting on what I have tried and been successful with. Believe what you like but I am certainly not going to get into ridiculous arguments/discussions about what I know nothing. Do further research yourselves. Thanks Chartist. I am beginning to sleep again.

This is a quote from the conclusion in the PubMed link provided by Chartist.

"These results suggest that PA may serve as a potential natural therapeutic agent for BPH treatment."

Certainly good enough for me to try Grape Seed or Grape Seed Extract.

What control and measurement will you use to validate you’re getting actual measurable results and not just a feeling it’s working?

Serious question, not a challenge.

Getz in reply toGl448

Mate, I have no idea what you are on about. If I sleep through the night with only one or two trips to the loo that is enough for me.

Gl448 in reply toGetz

Haha. Okay, mate. Spend your money on placebo effect. I’m sure it’s worth it.

Some guys here are probably popping a dozen or more magic supplements that some article “suggests” might have an effect and are surely adding decades to their life in the process

Drink less liquid later in the late day, that’ll cut down your toilet trips too, for free.
