The world of nutritional supplements are
vast. Below are the three recommendations we make. The
top two bottles on this page, below, can be purchase and used together or the
product at the very
bottom of this page is a combination that is more expensive, but means that you
would only have to purchase one product. This should be the
basis for nutritional prostate support. There are several other
products that can be used if a person's budget allows. Those
additional supplements are here
Testosterone is broken down via two pathways.
Pathway #1- Testosterone is broken down into a form of
estrogen.
Pathway #2-Testosterone is broken down into
DHT (Dihydrotestosterone)
As a man grows older pathway one becomes more
active. The study of nutritional supplements and how they
effect these pathways has been long standing.
Saw Palmetto and African Pygeum
partially block pathway #2. This pathway is thought to increase
DHT which causes an increase in prostate size. Also known as
Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy.
Zinc is also known to block pathway #2.
