  • The Truth About Resveratrol and Prostate Cancer Revealed
  • Any natural and effective treatment against cancer has to be taken seriously, especially as the chemotherapy drugs have such appalling side effects. It now seems that there is a positive connection between resveratrol and prostate cancer, and this is just the beginning.

    Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant and a substance produced by plants to help protect them from their environment. It is primarily found in high amounts in red grape skins (hence red wine) and from the Japanese knotweed plant.

     Regarding studies with resveratrol and prostate cancer,scientists at the University of Alabama have announced the results of a study in which mice that were fed resveratrol were 87% less likely to develop prostate cancer.

    In addition, those that did go on to develop it were far less likely to get a serious form of the disease.

    It appears to work by fighting cancer in all three stages: initiation, promotion and progression. It is able to kill the cancer cells without harming the surrounding healthy ones which is why scientists are particularity excited.

    This could mean in the future there is a viable alternative to the chemotherapy drugs and an end to the side effects, as resveratrol has none to speak of.

    The media is full of stories about how drinking lots of red wine will give you lots of resveratrol, but this is not the case. You can gain some small benefits but would need to drink several liters a day and the effects of the alcohol would cancel out many of the resveratrol and prostate cancer benefits.

     The best way is to use a quality nutritional supplement with other synergistic nutrients too like green tea and piperine.

    Green tea is also associated with helping to prevent many cancers, including prostate and piperine helps the resveratrol be absorbed quickly and efficiently so there is no need for high doses.

    Look for the best type, trans-resveratrol and around 10-20mg a day is optimal if combined with other natural extracts to increase its power and absorption.

    It is also essential to get an enteric coating on your chosen supplement, as this protects the contents from the stomach acid and so they are released in the upper intestine for the maximum benefits.

    I hope that this article has shed some light on the benefits of resveratrol and prostate cancer, and that you will consider adding this natural wonder to your daily routine along with other important nutrients, to help you live a longer and much healthier life.
