Prostate health refers to the overall well-being and proper functioning of the prostate gland, which is a small, walnut-shaped gland in men that produces seminal fluid. Maintaining prostate health is crucial for urinary function, sexual health, and overall well-being.
Key nutrients needed for prostate health include:
- Zinc: Essential for prostate function and hormone regulation.
- Vitamin E: Acts as an antioxidant, protecting prostate cells from damage.
- Selenium: A trace mineral that supports antioxidant function and reduces inflammation.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fish oil, these fatty acids help reduce inflammation.
- Lycopene: An antioxidant found in tomatoes, it helps protect prostate cells.
- Vitamin D: Supports immune function and may help reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
- Green Tea Extract: Contains polyphenols that have anti-cancer properties.
- Saw Palmetto: An herbal supplement often used to support prostate health and alleviate urinary symptoms.
