Prostate Health Supplements
Some common vitamin supplements aimed at improving prostate health may be harmful instead, researchers say. A study in Michigan found that two types of supplements did not inhibit the growth of cancer cells, but they did appear to stunt the growth of healthy prostate cells. Researchers say prostate cancer patients should talk to their doctor about any types of supplements they are taking in addition to their medications and treatment plans.
