Besides, I've got one of those "R" things which don't have saddles.
I'm a firm believer of taking Saw Palmetto herb with my vitamins every day since SP is used in Europe as a medicine for a healthy prostate.
Could be why I don't suffer from prostate issues.
"Saw palmetto ( Serenoa repens , Sabal serrulata ) is used popularly in Europe for symptoms associated with benign prostatic hypertrophy (enlargement of the prostate). Although not considered standard of care in the United States, it is the most popular herbal treatment for this condition."
