1. New Research Reveals that Natural Supplements May Benefit Prostate Health
According to recent statistics, 1 out of 6 men in the United States will develop prostate cancer,
which is the second leading cause of cancer death (behind lung cancer) in males. While medical
experts do not know why some men are more likely than others to develop this life-threatening
disease, and there appears to be a hereditary risk involved, a number of studies have revealed
that certain nutrients may have a positive effect on men’s prostate health. More information
on these studies can be found at www.ProstatePh.com.
Natural Supplements and Their Potential Link to Prostate Health:
Several university studies conducted by medical researchers have had some surprising results,
revealing evidence that several common, naturally-occurring ingredients may be effective in
reducing or eliminating prostate cancer cells. As a result, nutraceuticals containing these
extracts may be indicated in supporting men’s prostate health.
• African Plum Tree Bark Extract - The extract of the bark of the African plum tree (pygeum
africanum)is currently used in the US and Europe in the treatment of enlarged prostate (also
known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH). In a recent study conducted by researchers at
the University of Missouri-Columbia, pygeum africanum was also shown to induce tumor cell
apoptosis, and laboratory mice who were fed a preparation of the extract exhibited a reduced
incidence of prostate cancer compared with control mice that were fed a casein formula.
• White Button Mushroom Extract - The extract of this common edible mushroom, agaricus
bisporus has been indicated as successfully inhibiting the growth of prostate cancer cells; in a
study carried out at the Beckham research institute, tumor cells exposed in vitro and in vivo to
the extract of the white button mushroom showed a significant decrease in tumor size and
reduced rates of cancer cell growth.
• Sang Huang Mushroom Extract (phellinus linteus) – According to researchers at the Harvard
Medical School, a preparation of phellinus linteus was injected into laboratory mice who were
affected by prostate cancer. The results showed that the extract played a role in reducing the
rate of cancer cell growth, as well as causing a significant reduction in overall tumor size.
The American-made nutraceutical, Prostate-Ph, is an all-natural supplement containing these
three ingredients (the extracts of Sang Huang, White Button Mushroom and Pygeum
Africanum).
Preventing Prostate Cancer

2. Preventing prostate problems and other men’s health issues depends in part on making the
right lifestyle choices. Practicing good dietary habits, getting plenty of physical exercise,
avoiding the use of tobacco products, and keeping alcohol consumption to a moderate level can
lead to overall good health and maximize the body’s ability to fight off diseases ranging from
the common cold to cancer.
