What You Need to Know Before Buying Prostate Health Supplements

Prostate health supplements are a mixed blessing: they can harm or heal, prevent or worsen your prostate problems and symptoms.

Reminds me of the old joke: your mother-in-law just drove your Cadillac over a cliff! (today it may be your Mercedes!)

Every man seems to be inundated with online ads and snail mail ones for the latest "miracle prostate supplement". Smiling men, ecstatic women at their side - all you have to do is take the promoted prostate health supplements and all your worries are gone forever!

Sure would be nice if your prostate health were that easy. I don't mean to beat up on the many fine natural prostate products being made - and there are more and more of them.

The reality is that it is possible that taking them can actually worsen your condition, despite some of the amazing claims of the individual ingredients that go into them.

How is it possible prostate health supplements could be harmful to you?

If you already have a prostate problem then there is a good chance that something in that supplement will disagree with you causing a reaction.

How do I know?

Because this has happened to me many times over the years... I was able to trace my increased urination difficulties right to the prostate supplement I was taking! My frequency increased (the opposite of what I wanted), and sometimes at night it became harder to release when I had to go.

How could this happen?

When you have a prostate problem, some men become more and more sensitive to different inputs. A medication, a food or a supplement can actually trigger a prostate attack!

It sure happened to me many times until I was able to understand the process, stop the inputs and test items before taking them to ensure their bio-compatibility for me.

I teach you several ways of doing this in my book. I urge you to study and learn how as it can save you a lot of misery.

Sometimes Simpler Is Best

Many excellent ingredients make up the best prostate health supplements

• saw palmetto
• beta sitosterol and beta prostate
• other plant sterols
  
• rye pollen
• Vitamin D
• Vitamin E
• stinging nettle
• DIM
• zinc
• cranberry
• pygeum
• green tea

For prostate cancer supplements, these are also useful:

• curcumin
• quercitin
• bee pollen

And there are many more I could add to the lists.

For me I sometimes react to green tea! Yes I know it is supposed to be a super food and the tea of teas, but for me it causes a reaction. I do far better drinking real organic dark roast coffee! Go figure!

We are all so different. Once I learned how to personal test for foods and supps I was able to customize my diet and supplements to serve me without the reactions that had plagued me for years, finally allowing my prostate to heal.

I now wake up once or twice a night instead of every hour. If I remember not to drink before going to bed, I usually waken only once now. Pick up my book and learn how to know what works for you.

If you are healthy, which prostate supplement will work for you as a preventative?

The most important prostate health supplement of all is your daily diet. Your food is the key to your prostate health. No supplement will cancel out poor health choices. It is only a matter of time. You can then join the untold number of men who have a prostate problem. Learn more about the causes of prostate problems.

If you are healthy then a broad form prostate supplement will be a good addition to your diet. I still suggest learning to personal test so you can find one that works well for you.

Caution: What works today may not tomorrow!

For me I know that supplements react differently with me over time. Once I find one that is good, I optimize the dose by testing. I check in often and usually within a month or two I no longer test positive for it. My body has absorbed what it needed and for a time needs a rest.

I go into great detail about all the issues around prostate health supplements in my book as there is a lot to learn. You will save a ton of money following my guidelines. I have spent well over $100,000 learning what I know. I have tried hundreds of products. I wish I knew then what I know now. My book comes with a 60 day no questions asked guarantee.

Endogenous and Exogenous prostate supplements

The difference between these are foods and herbs. Foods in most cases are endogenous and a natural part of our diet. Exogenous ones are external like most herbs designed for medicinal use and eventually lose their effectiveness. They can only be taken for months at most and not years as they can become harmful as I have explained. This is one of the reasons reactions occur and the best sounding herb can become your enemy!

Do you know the most important prostate cancer supplement?

Vitamin D beats them all! Low levels and you double your risk of prostate cancer. The darker your skin the greater your risk if you live in the West. Low levels wreck havoc with your prostate.

Men today are chronically low in this crucial vitamin. The best way to get it is through sunlight. If you can't then take a fat soluble version of vitamin D3.

• cod liver oil
• sardines
• liposomal D3
• natural forms of Vitamin D3
• avoid all other versions of D
