Best Supplements To Lower PSA Levels

Are you worried about your PSA levels? 

If you’ve had a PSA test and your levels were higher, you may be looking for ways to reduce them.

In addition to medical treatments, there are lots of things you can do at home to help.

Keep reading to find out the best supplements to lower your PSA levels.

What is PSA?

PSA stands for Prostate Specific Antigen. It is a protein produced in the prostate gland, even without disease.

You should normally have a low PSA number in the blood because this protein leaks into the bloodstream. But it is not meant for the bloodstream. 

The real function of PSA is to prevent clots in the sperm and increase its fluidity. The presence in the bloodstream is a helpful marker of prostate health, though.

Prostate growth, as in benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer, causes an increase in the number of prostate cells. They produce more PSA, and more of it leaks into the bloodstream. 

That’s why PSA is used to screen for prostate health. However, a high PSA level is not a gold standard for diagnosing prostate cancer (1).

What are normal PSA levels?

As noted, PSA is a normal protein produced by the prostate gland. The levels of this protein in the blood increase as we age. Thus, the reference range is different depending on your age. For instance:

AgePSA Levels
40s0.0 – 2.5 ng/mL
50s0.0 – 3.5 ng/mL
60s0.0 – 4.5 ng/mL

After 70 years old, PSA screening is not recommended unless you have warning signs of aggressive prostate cancer. And still, in such cases, your doctor may advise against prostate cancer screening.

But a PSA test is much more complex than that. Your individual threshold level can change depending on your race. The interpretation is also different if you have a previous PSA test to compare. 

As such, prostate cancer diagnostics does not follow a one-size-fits-all standard. It is individualized to every single patient, their risk factors, and the prevalence of the disease in their age group, ethnic group, and family (3).

What causes high PSA levels?

If your PSA levels are high, it is not necessarily due to prostate cancer. One of these problems may also be the cause (4):

  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia
  • Prostatitis
  • Urinary tract infections

When to see a doctor

Studies show that irresponsible and excessive use of PSA tests can also be harmful. Thus, a PSA test should ideally be prescribed by your doctor. 

It would be a good idea to visit a doctor if you have one of these problems:

  • A family history of prostate cancer, especially in your father and brothers.
  • If you have prostate-related symptoms such as reduced urinary flow and nocturia.
  • When you’re in the age group of adults aged 40 years old and beyond.

How to lower PSA levels with supplements

Patients with prostate cancer risk factors or very high PSA levels may require additional testing. If you are diagnosed, your doctor will provide the best prostate cancer treatment option according to your condition.

Treatment can include hormone therapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, active surveillance, and follow-up.

Prostate herbal treatment can also help as coadjutant therapy for prostate cancer.

So, how can you lower PSA levels naturally with supplements?

Step 1: Choose the proper herbal treatment

Choosing adequate prostate herbs is probably the most important way to go. The best supplements to lower PSA levels are beta-sitosterol, saw palmetto, Pygeum africanum, and pomegranate.

Supplementation with vitamin complexes and minerals is also important. For example, vitamin C is necessary to repair damaged tissues, and zinc inhibits prostate cancer growth. 

Remember that PSA is only a measure of prostate growth. So, you want to treat the problem as a whole and not only lower your blood levels of PSA (5).

Step 2: Look for the appropriate supplement blend

Now that you have a list of vitamins, minerals, and herbs backed up by research, it is also important to look for supplement blends. 

This will help you save money and facilitate the process by taking one supplement instead of various daily pills.

Step 3: Speed up the process with lifestyle changes

Some dietary changes and habits will speed up your recovery. For example, quitting tobacco and eating a healthy diet are essential steps. Drinking tomato juice is also a good idea because it contains lycopene. 

We also recommend exercise and training your bladder to reduce the severity of urinary symptoms (2).

Step 4: Keep up with it and do not leave your mainstream therapy

Prostate cancer usually grows slowly, and the effects of medical and herbal medicine are not immediately evident. So, you may need to give your treatment some time. 

While you’re at it and after your symptoms improve, keep visiting your doctor, and do not neglect prostate cancer medical therapy.

Conclusion

In this article, we have described how to lower PSA levels with supplements. Different herbs for prostate cancer can help you improve your symptoms.

    This is very good enlightenment. It answers some of the questions troubling me. Can a psa of 11.24 be reduced to below 10 using supplements

  2. Joan

    My husband had prostate cancer & was treated with radiation 3 years ago – would it be ok to take the total Health for the Prostate. He still has some frequency issues & gets up 2-3 times per night

      Hi Joan,

      Thanks for your comment.

      Your husband is still able to heal his prostate using Total Health for the Prostate. Total Health can shrink his prostate, lower his PSA level and alleviate urinary symptoms, including getting up at night, frequency, urgency and bladder emptying.

      Total Health is particularly effective when combined with a prostate-specific diet, which is simply to avoid some problematic foods that exacerbate symptoms (coffee, alcohol, red meat, cow dairy etc)

    Since a high DHT level is not good for the prostate, what do you recommend to do to reduce a high level of DHT in the body? The protein 5 alpha reductase is what converts the testosterone to DHT. Is there a way to block the 5 alpha reductase or reduce its levels in the body so it does not do the conversion?

    • Ben's Natural Health Team

      Hi Barry,

      Thanks for your comment.

      You can indeed stop the conversion of testosterone to DHT in your body. One of the key ingredients in our Total Health formula is Beta Sitosterol (dosage 825mg), which is a natural 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, it blocks the conversion of testosterone to DHT thereby allowing the prostate to heal and shrink. In turn, you can expect your PSA level to come down and your urinary symptoms to reduce, if not be entirely eliminated after a course of taking Total Health for the Prostate.

      https://www.bensnaturalhealth.com/total-health-vegicaps.html

      A ground-breaking randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial on this natural 5 alpha reductase inhibitor Beta-Sitosterol found that it made significant improvements to the urinary flow and symptoms of men with BPH who used it over a 6-month course. Total Health contains a higher dosage than was used in this trial and is combined with 20+ additional ingredients that work synergistically to shrink the prostate and improve overall health.

    I’m 61, with a PSA of 5.4 , Prostate normal size, no cancer, no bladder problems. Had sonar screening and all is perfect. Yet Dr wants to do biopsy! Is this a $$ making hoax to scare people to fatten his wallet? I Was told there are NO meds or supplements or anything to lower PSA. My heart is telling me to avoid these invasive tests since I may trigger bigger problems that I don’t have. I don’t know what to do. Please give me some sound advice..thank you.

    • Ben's Natural Health Team

      Hi Anthony,

      Thanks for your comment.

      We share your concern for biopsy being an overprescribed and, more often than not, entirely unnecessary invasive diagnostic tool that leaves men worse off than before the procedure. Yes as you’ve suggested it can be a lucrative choice for doctors who are not trained in alternative and non-invasive treatment options; the tools they have at their disposal are drugs that may mask some symptoms (though they carry a long list of side effects for the user), and invasive procedures which completely look past all the safe and natural methods of treatment that are available to men with prostate disease.

      If you’d like to naturally lower your PSA level and ‘get your doctor off your back’, then you can do so using the diet, supplements (Total Health for the Prostate), and lifestyle tips on our site. It’s very simple, millions of men have done it before you and in just a matter of a few months you can see significant improvements, certainly enough to know you made the right decision avoiding prostate biopsy.
