Lifestyle/dietary supplement partial androgen suppression and/or estrogen manipulation. A novel PSA reducer and preventive/treatment option for prostate cancer?
There is a large interest in prostate cancer prevention and/or slowing the progression of this disease via dietary/lifestyle/supplement interventions. Numerous mechanisms have been suggested as to how these interventions may lower PSA levels. However, it is possible that the primary mechanism of action is partial androgen suppression and/or estrogen manipulation.
