Ryegrass pollen extract is made from the pollen of a very famous herb called Secale cereale, or rye.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nPollen is obtained and let alone for a while. Microbial digestion of the pollen breaks down the components. Then, they are further extracted using organic solvents and water. After the extraction process is over, ryegrass pollen extract is full of sterols in a water-soluble solution (1).\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nThere are many formulations of ryegrass pollen extract. Each one of them has slightly different preparation methods.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nOne of the most studied and widely applied is known as cernilton or cernitin pollen extract. Cernilton has 60 mg of ryegrass pollen on a water-soluble fraction. For each 60 mg, it has 3 mg of additional components in an acetone-soluble fraction.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nAltogether, it contains 21 amino acids, various enzymes and coenzymes, and a high concentration of sterols. It also provides minerals, some trace elements, and all of the essential vitamins. In the acetone-soluble fraction, we also have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/11729303\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"alpha-linolenic acid and phytosterols (opens in a new tab)\">alpha-linolenic acid and phytosterols<\/a> (2).\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"20px\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 20px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 id=\"h-what-can-it-be-used-for\">What can it be used for?<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nRyegrass pollen extract has many nutrients and phytonutrients.

Thus, it is beneficial as a dietary <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/best-prostate-supplement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prostate health supplement<\/a>. However, one of the most popular uses of ryegrass pollen is a natural way to relieve the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/bph-symptoms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"symptoms of BPH (opens in a new tab)\">symptoms of BPH<\/a>.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nIn some studies, pollen extracts have been used to relieve cases of constipation.

With the right formulation, it will increase the dietary fiber and improve <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/enlarged-prostate-and-bowel-movements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bowel movements<\/a>.

We can highlight some of the most exciting studies in the following list:\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nAn important double-blind, placebo-controlled study was published in 1990. This study enrolled 60 BPH patients candidates for <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/prostate-cancer-surgery\/\">surgery<\/a>. Before surgery, they used two tablets of Cernilton (rye grass pollen extract) daily for 6 months. The diameter of the prostate was reduced, and the residual urine volume was improved in the treatment group. The symptoms were improved, as well (7).\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nOne of the first meta-analysis of ryegrass pollen extracts evaluated a total of 444 men. The researchers reported that Cernilton extracts reduced the symptoms, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/nocturia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"nocturia (opens in a new tab)\">nocturia<\/a>. In other words, the patients reported a reduction in the frequency of urination at night. According to these results, the prostate size was not always reduced (8).\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nA recent trial used 375 mg and 750 mg of ryegrass pollen. In this randomized study, the patients improved their symptoms and slowed down the progression of the disease as the dose was increased (9).\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nAnother step in the process is trying supplements and comparing them with prescription meds. In another study, patients were treated with tamsulosin or tamsulosin and ryegrass pollen. The group of patients with a combination treatment had a more considerable improvement in their symptoms (10).\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nThus, according to studies, there are various ways to use rye grass pollen for benign prostatic hyperplasia. One of them is as monotherapy to improve the symptoms and slow down the progression of BPH. Another way is as a side therapy with <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/tamsulosin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"tamsulosin (opens in a new tab)\">tamsulosin<\/a> or any other prescribed drug. In these cases, ryegrass pollen potentiates the effects of medical treatments. It can be used in long-term treatment.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"20px\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 20px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 id=\"h-is-it-effective-for-bph\">Is it effective for BPH?<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nThe most important clinical trials of ryegrass pollen extract are quite recent. However, this extract has been in the market for over 35 years. Throughout this time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5401347\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"ryegrass extract (opens in a new tab)\">ryegrass extract<\/a> has achieved substantial improvements in BPH.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nPatients report better quality of life, reduced symptoms, and sometimes a reduction of the gland. The size of the gland is sometimes unchanged. However, what almost every clinical trial shows is that symptoms will be improved.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nAccording to a recent review about nutrition for benign prostatic hyperplasia, the response rate is higher than 70%. In other words, more than 70% of patients will see a significant improvement. It inhibits prostate cell growth, reduces inflammation, and works for chronic <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/prostatitis-causes-symptoms-treatments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"nonbacterial prostatitis (opens in a new tab)\">nonbacterial prostatitis<\/a> (11).\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nAnother review about nutraceuticals for BPH evaluated various supplements and their ingredients. It went through all of the clinical trials of ryegrass pollen and BPH.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nThe study mentioned that the effectivity of BPH might be due to a component called <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/beta-sitosterol\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"beta-sitosterol (opens in a new tab)\">beta-sitosterol<\/a>. A recent review by Cochrane showed substantial proof that beta-sitosterol improves <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/lower-urinary-tract-symptoms\/\">urinary tract symptoms<\/a>.

It can be used two or three times a day, depending on the severity of the symptoms. Still, doses as high as 750 mg have been used in a double-blind study without major side effects.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nStudies agree that rye grass pollen extract is well tolerated and safe to use. It can be an essential allergen for some patients, but that\u2019s especially the case of inhaled pollen.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nRare adverse reactions of ryegrass pollen extract include allergic reactions in the skin and gastrointestinal symptoms.
