(hypo-allergenic plant fiber added to complete capsule volume requirement)1?2 capsules per day, in divided doses, with meals.Supports prostate health*Beta-sitosterol naturally occurs as part of a phytosterol complex and has demonstrated the potential to support prostate health. In a 6-month randomized, double-blind, placebo- controlled, multicenter study with 200 male subjects, it was proposed that a mixed phytosterol complex providing beta-sitosterol supported healthy urinary flow. In an 18- month follow-up trial, beta-sitosterol maintained healthy urinary function. These results have been supported in other clinical trials as well.Beta-sitosterol, derived from a soy-based phytosterol complex, may provide important support for prostate health.REFERENCE: Awad AB, Fink CS, Williams H, Kim U.

My husband (who is 45 years old) was diagnosed in Oct of 06′. Gleason 8 (4+4), Stage D. He is on Casodex and Eligard, and his PSA level is now 0.4. His doctors claim he can stay on these meds for many years.
HIs cancer has already spread to his spine, hip, left femur, and lymph nodes in his abdomen.

I have been "told" to get a biopsy of my prostate. However, as I have never had any kind of surgical procedure performed on my body, I am very worried, and apprehensive of the RECTAL invasion and possible consequences; even thought prostate CANCER is something to worry about! My age, 63
Do it! My doctors kept putting off even mentioning this test. I’m now 66 and hope to see 67. For over ten years and three doctors, one finally said my PSA was high enough to have a biopsy done. Like you I was apprehensive about having my rectum invaded like this. It turned out to not be as bad as I expected, not something I care to do regularly.
My PSA in 1995 was 4.2 and my doctor gave me antibiotics to see if it would come down. It did and everytime my PSA went up, here came the antibiotics. Last year, I went on Medicare and my PSA was again 4.2. This doctor said it’s not high enough to worry about yet.
I changed insurance and doctors in January. When my PSA came back at 4.3 in February, my new doctor insisted I have a biopsy. This was done in a Urologists office with no drugs. I was relived when it was over. Now came the hard part, waiting for the results.
Out of all the cores they took, my cancer was in 85% of them. My Gleason score is 9 (4+5). The only scores worse than that is 9 (5+4) and 10 (5+5). I have a very aggressive form of prostate cancer. My only treatment is to have 42 extrernal beam radiation sessions over an eight and one-half week period. While they are burning my rectum, I’m also having hormone shots to block my testersone, that’s what makes you a man. In three months I’ll under go another biopsy, to see if I will need to have radioactive seeds implanted in what’s left of my prostate. At this point removal, for me, is not an option.
Removal is the desired treatment since removing the prostate cancels any worry of cancer if the cancer has not spread beyond the prostate. If it has, you must continue on with radiation. With the prostate gone your PSA will now be Zero.
As Larry, the Cable Guy says, "Get R Done"
Additional thoughts: I attended a seminar on Prostate cancer treatments to hear a doctor mention he had a 42 year old patient with a PSA of 2.5 and a Gleason score of 10. PSA isn’t always the answer, the Gleason score, can only be found with a biopsy, is the answer.

Lycopene 20mg 120 caps, PureLycopeneProstate, cellular and macular support carotenoid*Pure Encapsulations Lycopene provides a natural tomato extract rich in lycopene, various carotenoids, vitamin E, and other important phytochemicals. In one study involving 30 male subjects, supplementation with lycopene promoted healthy prostate function. This was one of the first randomized, prospective clinical trials to show that a lycopene supplement, rather than dietary tomato consumption, supported prostate health. Research compiled in a multi-center study involving ten European countries revealed that the antioxidant properties of dietary lycopene supported cardiovascular health. Fifty- seven epidemiological studies indicate that lycopene from tomato consumption or tomato-based products may help digestive, lung, stomach, cervical and breast cell health. Lycopene has also demonstrated potential for promoting retinal and macular health.Pure Encapsulations Lycopene provides optimal antioxidant and cellular health support.REFERENCE: Kucuk, O et al.

Highly potent & balanced combination of Prostate supportive herbs Helps maintain healthy prostate & reproductive system Supports healthy bladder function & clears toxins Promotes strong & healthy urine flow Strengthen the immune system The prostate is a walnut sized gland that sits just below the bladder in men and is an integral part of the male reproductive system. Made up of two lobes and enclosed by a layer of tissue, the prostate goes through two main periods of growth. The first occurs early in puberty, when the prostate doubles in size. At around the age of 25, the gland begins to grow again. This second growth phase often results in what is identified as an enlarged prostate. As the prostate gets larger, the layer of tissue surrounding it stops it from expanding, causing the gland to press against the urethra. While the data varies, it is believed that most men over the age of 45 experience some amount of prostate enlargement, but may live symptom free. This enlargement is usually harmless, but it often results in problems urinating later on in life. By 60, it is believed that 80% of all men experience some sort of urinary interference due to prostate enlargement. Enlargement of the Prostate Enlargement of the prostate is not a malignant condition, but it does put pressure on the urethra and can create a number of urinary complaints such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, the need to get up at night to urinate, difficulty starting, a reduction to the force of the urine stream, terminal dribbling, incomplete emptying of the bladder and even the inability to urinate at all. If left unchecked, benign prostatic hypertrophy can cause serious problems over time including urinary tract infections, bladder or kidney damage, bladder stones or incontinence. Enlarged Prostate and Potential Impotency It is important to take care of your prostate and address any prostate, be it an enlarged prostate, prostetitis (inflammation of the prostate) or prostate cancer
