As of March 2009, we are not aware of rye pollen extract research in humans that does not involved a trademarked product name such as Cernilton.
Cernitin and Cernilton
Cernitin pollen extract is a preparation made from eight kinds of pollen and has
been used for various prostatic diseases in Japan and Europe. Cernitin is a
trademarked standardized flower pollen extract from a variety of plants.
Cernilton, prepared from the rye-grass pollen Secale cereale, is one of the
several herbal agents available for the treatment of prostate enlargement.
Rye Pollen Research
Preuss HG. Randomized trial of a combination of natural
products (cernitin, saw palmetto, B-sitosterol, vitamin E) on symptoms of benign prostatic
hyperplasia (BPH). Int Urol Nephrol 2001. Department of
Physiology and Biophysics, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC,
USA.
Because benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is relatively common, it is important to
discover safe and effective means to treat this often debilitating perturbation.
Accordingly, we examined the effectiveness of a combination of natural products (cernitin,
saw palmetto, B-sitosterol, vitamin E) in treating symptoms of BPH. We undertook a
randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study. Patients were enrolled from 3
urological practices in the USA. 144 subjects were randomized for study. 17 subjects
eventually withdrew, leaving 70 patients in the test group and 57 in the placebo group to
complete the study. Inclusion criteria consisted of a diagnosis of BPH, no evidence of
cancer, and a maximal urinary flow rate between 5 and 15 ml/second. Patients received
either placebo or the combined natural products for 3 months. Evaluations were performed
via the American Urological Association (AUA) Symptom Index score, urinary flow rate, PSA
measurement, and residual bladder volume. Nocturia showed a markedly significant decrease
in severity in patients receiving the combined natural products compared to those taking
placebo. Daytime frequency was also lessened significantly.
When the average individual total AUA Symptom Index score in the test group was compared
to that in the placebo group at the end of the study, the difference proved highly
significant. PSA measurements, maximal and average urinary flow rates, and
residual volumes showed no statistically significant differences.
When
taken for 3 months, a combination of natural products (cernitin, saw palmetto,
B-sitosterol, vitamin E) compared to placebo can significantly lessen nocturia and
frequency and diminish overall symptomatology of BPH as indicated by an
improvement in the total AUA Symptom Index score. The combination of natural products
caused no significant adverse side effects.
