Chances are that\u2019s you or someone you know. You may be wondering about what are the best supplements for prostate health. Well, you\u2019ve come to the right place, but first some basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Header1\"><strong>What is the prostate?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The doughnut-shaped prostate is part of the male reproductive system. It\u2019s located in front of the rectum, right below the bladder and is wrapped around the tube (urethra) through which urine passes from the bladder. The prostate, which is about the size of a pea in newborn boys, slowly increases in dimensions from birth to puberty, and then expands rapidly until about age 30, when it is the size of a walnut. After this time its size typically remains stable until age 45 or so, and then begins to grow slowly again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Header2\"><strong>What can go wrong with the prostate gland?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Prostate problems often lead to urination troubles like starting and stopping, inability to hold urine, not feeling like your bladder is empty, waking up all hours at night to relieve yourself, and even performance anxiety in bed. These problems can be caused by everything from age and genetics to external factors like diet, smoking and agricultural chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Header3\"><strong>Top 9 Best Supplements for Prostate Health<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/Mens-Health\/Pygeum-Bark-500-mg-60-capsules.axd\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Pygeum<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From the bark of the African plum tree, pygeum has been used for centuries for urinary health. Today we know that its fatty acids, sterols and other constituents have an antioxidant effect on the urinary tract. While more studies are needed, it appears pygeum helps support healthy urinary flow and the ability to fully empty the bladder.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"    src=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/prostate4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"saw palmetto for prostate\" class=\"wp-image-8264\" width=\"512\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/prostate4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/prostate4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/prostate4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/prostate4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Like pygeum it\u2019s been used to ease urinary issues for centuries with numerous studies underway. Available in capsule or liquid form, it\u2019s often found in combination with other male-supporting <a aria-label=\"herbs (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/Herbs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">herbs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Lycopene<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Extracted from the tomato, Lycopene is a carotenoid, a powerful phytonutrient that may benefit prostate and urinary health in men. And it&#8217;s a powerful antioxidant that combats free radicals. The deeper the red, the higher the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/Prostate-Health\/Lycopene-10-mg-90-Softgels.axd\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">lycopene<\/a> content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

Stinging Nettle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you touch this plant, you\u2019ll know it! Its tiny hairs sting like crazy, but it may be beneficial for certain urinary issues, especially flow. Like saw palmetto and pygeum, you\u2019ll often find stinging nettle (or <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/Liquid-Extracts\/Nettle-Leaf-Liquid-Extract-1-oz.axd\" target=\"_blank\">nettle leaf<\/a><\/span>) blended with other herbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Selenium<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know your prostate gland naturally contains high levels of this important trace mineral? But as you age, your selenium levels decline drastically, which isn&#8217;t good for prostate health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Selenium is essential for prostate health because it is involved in the production of glutathione peroxidase, a very powerful free radical scavenger. Free radicals can damage prostate cells, so you need selenium to help protect your cells and keep your prostate healthy and normal. Unfortunately, we Americans digest very little selenium through our foods due to our diet. That&#8217;s why we need it every day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"    src=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/pumpkin-seed-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"pumpkin seed and pumpkins\" class=\"wp-image-8466\" width=\"512\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/pumpkin-seed-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/pumpkin-seed-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/pumpkin-seed-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/pumpkin-seed.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.

It can be purchased in capsule form or in combination with other male nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Iodine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Provides nourishment to the prostate and is important for two reasons: It has naturally occurring trace elements and minerals; It helps nourish the thyroid, which regulates cell activity and growth, key to optimum prostate health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.

Get a regular annual screening.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Early detection is key since often there are no warning signs of prostate problems. The digital rectal examination (DRE), starting at age 40 and the PSA blood test, starting at age 50, should be done yearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.&nbsp;Watch your diet.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Increasing evidence supports the important role of nutrition in prostate health.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Reduce consumption of red meat. Eating red meat five times per week doubles your risk for prostate concerns. Limit grilled steaks and hamburgers.<\/li><li>Avoid saturated fat, milk, dairy, calcium, and refined sugar.<\/li><li>Include carotenoids in your diet. Carotenoids are yellow, orange and red pigments found in foods like carrots and tomatoes. The most common types of carotenoids are alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/vision-health-lutein\" target=\"_blank\">lutein<\/a>,<\/span> zeaxanthin and lycopene. Research suggests that carotenoids help scavenge free radicals that can cause damage.<\/li><li>Eat plenty of cruciferous (belonging to the mustard family) vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi, turnips and watercress. They are rich in phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) which can be healthy for your system.<\/li><li>Add soy to your diet.<\/li><li>Take time for tea. Green tea, in particular is a strong antioxidant rich in catechins and other polyphenols.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Spice it up.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Spices and natural flavorings do more than add zest to your dish; they boost your health too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Flavor your foods with the curry spice, turmeric, also known as curcumin. Curcumin alone or in conjunction with the cruciferous vegetables listed above can be a powerful combination.<\/li><li>Increase consumption of garlic, onions and chives. These vegetables appear to provide many health benefits.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/mens-health\/prostate-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shop Prostate Health<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know, about half of men over the age of 50 will experience prostate problems?
