Pygeum africanum is an evergreen tree native to Africa. Numerous clinical trials in over six hundred patients have demonstrated pygeum extract to be effective in reducing the symptoms and clinical signs of BPH, especially in early cases. However, in a double-blind study that compared the pygeum extract with the extract of saw palmetto, the saw palmetto extract produced a greater reduction of symptoms and was better tolerated. There may be circumstances in which pygeum is more effective than saw palmetto and as the two extracts have somewhat overlapping mechanisms of actions, they can be used in combination. The typical dosage of pygeum extract is 50-100 mg twice per day.

Cernilton, an extract of flower pollen, has been used in Europe to treat BPH for more than thirty-five years and its effects have been confirmed in double-blind clinical studies. The overall success rate of Cernilton in patients with BPH is about seventy percent. The typical dosage of is 63-126 mg two to three times per day.

Lycopene is not the only item on the prostate defense menu.

Several multi-ingredient products on the market, many sharing some of the same ingredients. Such as zinc, selenium, saw palmetto, pumpkin seed, pygeum extract, stinging netle, etc..........

There's such a product available at wwwwww . The ProstateCenter.com. There's a urologist there to whom you can email questions regarding prostate health, and he will answer. *I emailed him a question, he answered in a few days.

What about using radiation or freezing. Surgery is a sure fire way to get the cancer out, but has side effects as you know.

Yes, I think lycopene is only good as a preventative measure.

I'll echo the suggestion to add Lycopene for prostate issues.

You might also look into Saw Palmetto as a dietary supplement with beneficial effects for prostate.

I too have encountered the generally dismissive attitude about these supplements by the organized medical community.

I think part of that is a result of a general lack of formal research on these substances.

Of course the pharmas aren't particularly interested in evaluating something they can't sell for $5./pill, and they tend to do most of the drug research in this country.

Usually subsidized with taxpayer funds....
