Prostate supplements for treatment and prevention: Lycopene, Selenium, Zinc, Saw Palmetto, Omega 3 and Vitamin D and herbal formulas

Every man over 40, who has a prostate (and that is all of us), should take a zinc tab and a selenium tab every day for the rest of your life. This will significantly reduce the chance of getting cancer and prostate problems, and will likely prevent you from vision problems like cataracts and macular degeneration as you get older. To be even more effective, take a vitamin E capsule every day.

Many male physicians will admit that they take the herb saw palmetto for their prostate. The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system. The prostate is located in front of the rectum and just below the bladder, where urine is stored. The prostate also surrounds the urethra, the canal through which urine passes out of the body.

Jerry Orbach, Johnny Ramone, Bill Bixby, Frank Zappa, Telly Savalas, Pierre Trudeau, Herbie Mann and Timothy Leary are a few who died from prostate cancer. This is sad, considering researchers now believe prostate problems are primarily due to zinc, selenium and vitamin D deficiencies.

One of the main roles of the prostate is to squeeze fluid into the urethra as sperm move through during sexual climax. This fluid, which helps make up semen, energizes the sperm and makes the vaginal canal less acidic.

The prostate begins to enlarge in all men usually starting in their 40s. Once growth starts, it does not stop as long as life goes on. Effects of this growth vary from misery to minor annoyance, and points in-between.

After skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in men in the United States. There are an estimated 200,000 new cases of prostate cancer and 32,000 deaths each year. Benign (nonmalignant) enlargement of the prostate gland is known medically as benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH for short.

Vitamin D can inhibit the spread of prostate cancer cells by limiting the activity of two specific enzymes, University of Rochester Medical Center scientists report.

The finding means that vitamin D could provide beneficial treatment to prostate cancer patients with high levels of the enzymes, the scientists said.

Italian researchers found that men with prostate cancer were around 50% more likely to have had high cholesterol levels than their non-prostate cancer controls. The association was somewhat stronger for men whose high cholesterol levels had been diagnosed before they were 50 and for men over 65, where there was an 80% greater likelihood of high cholesterol levels.

The prostate uses up to 10 times more zinc any other organ in the body. As the production of testosterone declines, an enzyme stimulates the production of other hormones that cause enlargement. Many scientists now believe that when sufficient Zinc is present, it helps stop the enzyme doing its damage.

Enlarged prostates are much more common in the developed countries, such as the US, than in the so called Third World. The main reason for this is that the majority of American meals are over-cooked and processed. The processing of foods destroys a significant amount, if not all, of the most important nutrient used by the Prostate Gland: ZINC. It is often called the Man's Vitamin. The mineral zinc supports the immune, reproductive and musculoskeletal systems, free radical scavenging activity; and the list goes on as research continues to reveal much more about this impressive mineral.

Think Zinc


Take one Zinc Tablet daily. Zinc helps to shrink an enlarged prostate and may help to prevent prostate cancer, cataracts and skin problems.

Zinc is found in high concentration in sperm and seminal fluid. The prostate gland contains more zinc than any other organ in the body and cannot function properly without adequate zinc.

Selenium


Try the mineral Selenium for prostate cancer prevention. A Stanford University study shows how men with low blood levels of selenium are four to five times more likely to develop prostate cancer than men with normal levels of the mineral. The study also confirmed that selenium levels decrease as men age - mirroring the fact that prostate risk steadily rises as men age.

Numerous studies indicate that increased dietary selenium may be of benefit in prostate cancer. These studies suggest:

  • Higher levels of selenium in the body are associated with a sharply reduced risk of prostate cancer.

  • Supplementing with 200 micrograms/day of selenium cuts prostate cancer risk in half.

  • Selenium is effective in slowing down prostate cancer progression.

62-0 Selenium 100mcg 100 tablets $9.95




Omega 3


One of the most important things you can do to prevent BPH, prostate cancer and heart disease is increase your intake of the omega-3 fats found in fish oil and reduce your intake of omega-6 fats.

Take Omega-3 Fish Oil Capsule twice a day. Essential Fatty Acids help with BPH.
