Bro's: PLEASE tell me you're concerned about your PROSTATE Health???

[Drveejay11]

EVERY MALE who uses gear should at least be aware of potential Prostate problems from supraphysiological amounts of Test floating around (-----> DHT).

You should take a PREVENTATIVE STANCE with respect to reducing his chances for prostate disorders as well!
(see below as I listed supps to take vs proscar/propecia as these have undesirable side effects. They also exhibit taxing attributes on the liver, like we need more of that!!!!)

It's a serious thing bro's!

BPH(Benign Prostate Hyperplasia)
• Prostate Cancer
• Enlarged Prostate
• Prostatitis

Each year over 400,000 men in the United States undergo prostate surgery and over a billion dollars a year is spent on prostate treatment. Surgery often results in incontinence and impotence.

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death for men after lung cancer. Ninety percent of prostate cancer goes completely undetected until it is untreatable. By the age of 50, one third of all men have cancer cells in their prostates. Odds are 2 to 1 you'll have prostate problems by the age of 60. By the age of 65 most American men have enlarged prostates.
The first signs are night urination and difficult urination. Literally 97% of all men will be affected with prostate problems before they die.

I've been doing a significant amount of reading on this subject and found that "Beta Sitosterol" is a hell of a supplement for the prostate!

Great reminder...., great links...., great post......

Wanna know how I really feel ?

I take Saw Palmetto year round, I go with the old saying, "a an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"

I do also bro!!!!!! When ON, I add some off the things mentioned above as well for "added protection". What's the worst that can happen? My prostate SHRINKS? GEEZ......what a shame! LOL

 

[rollercoaster]

Thanks for the info guys, this is invaluable info all could learn from.

 

[needsize]

This is why I'm running finasteride

 

[Drveejay11]

This is why I'm running finasteride

I hear you bro..........finasteride works great.

I posted this with hopes of evoking an interest in natural/herbal remedies as opposed to pharmceuticals. I feel the liver-taxing properties of finasteride should NOT be appealing to a bro who's already subjesting his liver to significant stress from gear and certain ancillaries.......just trying to provide a healthier/safer OPTION !

 

[gilly6993]

This is why I'm running finasteride

...what dose do you run it at?

 

[needsize]

...what dose do you run it at?

1mg daily, it comes from minoxidil.com

 

[Brock Landers]

StoneCold, how much saw palm do you take while "on"

 

[StoneColdNTO]

Hey...VJ....I got a question for ya;

The Saw I was taking, each sofgel contained; Saw Palmetto Berry Extract (Seenoa repens) 160 mg, standardized to contain 85-95% fatty acid sterols

The new brand, each sofgel contains; Saw Palmetto Berries (Seenoa repens) 1600 mg, derived from 160 mg of a 1:10 standardized extract containing 85-95% fatty acids

Are they different or the same thing with just a play on the wording.

 

[Brock Landers]

DRveejay--are you currently taking that roex product? Will it hinder gains if you take it while on a cycle?

 

[StoneColdNTO]

StoneCold, how much saw palm do you take while "on"

640 mg a day, (4 sofgels), but see my post just prior to this one.

 

[Brock Landers]

640 mg a day, (4 sofgels), but see my post just prior to this one.

yea, the saw palmetto I have comes in 160 mg per softgel. (standardized for 85-95% fatty acids and bilogically active sterols) whatever the hell that means. I only take one per day, but by the sounds of it I should be taking more

 

[GreasyGreek]

I didn't know finasteride was harsh on the liver. Can anyone dig up some info on this? I'm really curious, because I have run it with orals before... I normally split proscar tabs into 4 and take 1.25 mgs per day.

 

[Jyzza]

The info says that at age 35 or around men should look into the anti prostate supplementation.
What about people who use gear, when should they start?
Do you think a 25 year old should be worrying about his prostate at that young age?

GOOD EYE StoneCold.......IMO, it's a play on words or better labeled SLEAZY MARKETING!

LOL

I think it's not too early to start even in the 20's, especially if one uses AAS.
Also, remember that the prostate is a sex organ; most of the seminal fluid (ie, jizz) is made in the prostate. Important for nourishing the spermatozoa (as well as your g/f!) Whoops, sorry!
Prostate enlargement isn't the only thing that'll get you. Very young men can develop acute or chronic prostatitis. Not fun!
But at any rate, the prostate generally enlarges slowly over a period of years, so there's no reason to wait until the 40's or 50's when symptoms arise to pay attention to it. That's sort of like waiting until the coronary arteries are 90% stenosed, and chest pain begins, to change the diet and look at HDL and inflammation in the bloodstream.
So yes, at least some zinc, a good multi, and maybe some saw
palmetto, and other herbs.
