I’ve written a couple of articles on supplements for prostate health.
So why another one?
This one comes directly from the National Cancer Institute and provides a very objective and balanced approach to this issue about using supplements for prostate health.
Prostate cancer is the most common internal cancer affecting men. Here in the United States approximately 12% of men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime.
An even greater number of men are affected by prostate concerns like an enlarged prostate.
In the introduction for this large PDF (86 pages), the National Cancer Institute notes that the use of vitamins and other supplements are widely used by men for both prevention and prostate health. Almost 60% of men that have a family history of prostate cancer use some form of supplementation to reduce their risk.

Modified Citrus Pectin

Pomegranate

Selenium

Soy

Vitamin D
