1 Tiny Vitamin Helps Shrink Your Enlarged Prostate | Dr. Mandell

Discover the Secret to Reduce your Prostate! The Power of Vitamin D Revealed

One of the biggest problems men face as they age is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition in which the prostate enlarges and can block the urethra, causing a variety of bothersome symptoms such as increased urinary frequency, difficulty in initiating and maintain the flow of urine, and a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder. Dr. Alan Mandell explains in his video how the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase contributes to this prostate growth. Surprisingly, only one type of fat-soluble vitamin, vitamin D, has been shown to be effective in reducing prostate size and improving BPH symptoms. Vitamin D is not only crucial for immune system health, but it also plays an important role in regulating prostate growth. Studies have shown that a daily dose of 6000 IU of vitamin D can reduce prostate volume in patients with BPH, and deficiency of this vitamin is directly correlated with prostate growth and urinary symptoms. In addition to vitamin D, other natural remedies such as beta-sitosterol, saw palmetto, and zinc are also effective. Zinc, in particular, is essential for prostate health, as a large amount of zinc in the body is stored in the prostate. However, lifestyle also plays a crucial role; A poor diet, lack of exercise, and incorrect postural habits can aggravate prostate problems. Dr. Mandell recommends pelvic floor stretching exercises, such as the "Frog stretch," which can make a big difference in prostate health. Don't forget that vitamin D should be taken with food for better absorption, and it is essential to maintain adequate levels of this vitamin for better general and prostate health.
