Got Androgen Deprivation Therapy? (ADT)-Get Nutritional Supplementation-

This review summarizes pre-clinical and clinical studies investigating the ability of dietary supplements to alleviate adverse effects arising from Androgen Deprivation Therapy. In particular, we focus on herbal compounds, phytoestrogens, selenium (Se), fatty acids (FA), calcium, and Vitamins D and E

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in western societies. Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) has is a major therapeutic strategy for Prostate Cancer. The challenge is that men who undergo this therapy many experience side effects including hot flashes, cardiotoxicity, metabolic and musculoskeletal alterations.

As the study at the bottom of this blog illuminates omega 3 fatty acids, calcium and vitamin D supplementation can go a long way in managing many of the worst side effects due to ADT

I am a long-term cancer survivor and cancer coach. I have taken omega 3 fatty acids and vitamin D3 for years for several reasons. In short, taking these two evidence-based supplements has helped me remain cancer-free from my “incurable” cancer while I manage my chemo-induced brain, heart and nerve damage.

I take Life Extension Super Omega 3 (1 capsule daily) as well as Life Extension Vitamin D3 (3 x 1000mg daily) as well as other supplements.

Have you been diagnosed with prostate cancer? Are you undergoing ADT? Please scroll down the page, post a question or comment and I will reply to you ASAP.

thanks
