    Because oxidative stress and inflammation are implicated in the development of BPH, research has mainly focused on the effect of different polyphenols (i.e., plant compounds with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects). With the exception of saw palmetto, most of the studies were conducted in rodents.[1]
