Supplements for Prostate Cancer
3 supplements with research evidence for Prostate Cancer
What the Research Shows
Research regarding supplements for prostate cancer currently shows limited results. There is weak evidence concerning Vitamin E supplementation, as a large-scale study known as the SELECT trial found that taking Vitamin E did not reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer. Other supplements, such as sulforaphane and DIM, also have insufficient evidence to support their use. Studies on sulforaphane have observed changes in gene activity in the prostate during active monitoring, while research on DIM has focused on its impact on tissue markers in patients undergoing surgery. Because the current evidence is insufficient, the effectiveness of these substances remains unproven.
