Prostate Supplements

I hasve been taking their supplement called "Prosteon" for several years. It's a good mix of supplements fior just about anything, but especially Prostate Cancer survivors. My Urologist recommended it. Doctors who refer you get a 20% commission from Theralogix, according to their website.

jay, you might be interested in this K I'd looked at this product because it simplifies supplementation, although at elevated cost. This article://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/patient/prostate-supplements-pdq lists separate supplements and what is considered in each of them. Soy, vitamin e, lycopene (if I remember) are in 2.4. And may help your decision.
Antioxidants interfere with radiation effect so the advice is to avoid them during treatment. Outside of treatment with radiation lycopene, D3 and magnesium are good choices.
Wishing you luck.

I would research what is in the product. There are a lot of supplements that have studies saying they help and other studies saying they do not.

That makes it very hard on a patient to know what supplements have been shown to help. I do know that research going on at UFHPTI shows that antioxidants to help protect the cells. Now which one specifically help the prostrate. That is where the research and feedback is all over the place.

Good luck,

Did anybody try himplasia by Himalaya drugs.I was told it reduces the size of Prostate

Some material to look over and decide what if any are for you. I have found most places kind of cover a few standard ones, and much is not covered on big websites so you have to find articles and materials on your own. Another thing is not all supplements of the same name are equal, some may be poorly made. Then how much of a supplement, there are huge dose variations. Then another is pill fillers, some places use really awful fillers, binders and so on, so you have to find a more pure one. Most of that is never covered in articles or online materials.

Looking it up the main active ingredient seems to be just a 5 alpha reductase inhibitor (Arecanut), which you can get your doctor to give you a prescription for a pharmaceutical grade version of a 5 alpha reductase inhibitor (dutasteride for example) if you think that is the way to go. And for urinary symptoms d-mannose is a good option.

Here is an alternative to basic 5 alpha reductase inhibitors, though I would approach this one more cautiously:
---
Diindolylmethane (DIM) or DIM sources/
A "good" DHT blocker that possibly leaves Total Testosterone alone - anti-excessive DHT
Examples:
(least pure) Broccoli powder (not seeds or sprouts) or broccoli extract
(mid-level form) Indole 3-carbinol
(purest form) DIM
DIM supposedly reduces DHT without reducing Free and total testosterone. This differs from 5-alpha reductase inhibitors which in some people stops working correctly (they may cause possible gonad damage, and other medical complications) and thus contribute to sexual dysfunction. DIM therefore is likely a good alternative for BPH and DIM is good where the DHT is in excess. It is possible it may not always work perfectly.
Indole 3-carbinol becomes DIM when ingested. It is found in Broccoli and cruciferous vegetables.

The prostate 2.4 formula has lycopene, but also a lot of soy, here is some discussion on soy:
----
Soy or Phytoestrogens (soy products) - estrogen receptor blocking

On Soy there is a big debate. In general, I would say if your testosterone levels are higher Soy is a great idea, if testosterone levels are lower or lowish to moderate maybe think about Soy. Here is a break down:
The three estrogens to concern yourself with are regular estrogen, xenoestrogen (given off by plastic and various food containers touching food for example), and phytoestrogen. The first two are decided bad for prostates, and there is much debate about phytoestrogen pro and con. Phytoestrogen (soy included) in theory block estrogen receptors.

Pro Phytoestrogen side:
The Doctors show - Dr Kristi Funk says soy phytoestrogen blocks "beta estrogen receptors" which are the bad ones, thus reduces prostate cancer risk and breast cancer risk.
