An antioxidant is a small organic molecule. Organic antioxidants can be either water-soluble or lipid-soluble.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>A water-soluble antioxidant is a urate, ascorbate, and glutathione. Whereas a typical example of a lipid-soluble antioxidant is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/vitamin-e-and-prostate-cancer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vitamin E<\/a>.

But, when additional antioxidant intake is necessary, that\u2019s where antioxidant supplements can come in handy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2><strong>Why Antioxidants Are Important for Prostate Health?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Prostate cancer is a malignant disease that can impact any section of the prostate. Every year, roughly 1.6 million men are diagnosed with prostate cancer. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6280714\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Current trends<\/a> suggest that lifestyle factors may have some role to play in prostate cancer incidence and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/prostate-cancer-risk-factors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prostate cancer risk<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>There is a lot to unpack regarding antioxidants and cancer risk. The question is, how can an antioxidant help? What are the antioxidants benefits that can promote better prostate health? Here is what research has to say.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>Prevents oxidation of cell molecules\u00a0<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The body can make some antioxidants on its own. At times, however, the body creates more free radicals than the system can handle. So, an external intake of antioxidants becomes the go-to choice. People should prioritize a healthy diet with vitamins, like vitamin C, vitamin E, etc. Or any other vitamin that they lack. Like vitamin D, for instance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>An antioxidant is a compound that prevents the oxidation of molecules in a cell. Oxidation is a chemical reaction capable of creating free radicals. Thus, it can lead to a chain reaction, which could damage the cells of living organisms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>An antioxidant like vitamin C or vitamin E could end these chain reactions. With antioxidant therapy, patients can reduce the extent of damage from an ischemic stroke. Whereas dietary antioxidants can establish a better balance between their antioxidant status and free radicals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Besides, cancer induces oxidative stress. As the disease progresses, it changes over time, and the antioxidant status can differ from person to person.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>Reduces oxidative stress<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/general-health\/oxidative-stress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oxidative stress<\/a> plays a key role in the development of various chronic ailments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>It is linked with symptoms of urinary bladder dysfunction. A typical example of bladder dysfunction is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/urinary-incontinence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">urinary incontinence<\/a>. This is the leakage of urine that people can\u2019t control. Symptoms such as these can happen in men with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/bph\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BPH<\/a> (benign prostatic hyperplasia).\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The ailment can affect their urine flow, lead to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/terminal-dribbling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">terminal dribbling<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/urinary-hesitancy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hesitancy<\/a>, or inability to empty the bladder completely. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6316255\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">National Institute of Health<\/a>, an antioxidant can help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/general-health\/oxidative-stress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">curb oxidative stress<\/a>, odds of cardiovascular disease, and risk of cancer. This could make them viable dietary supplements.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Further cancer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3823537\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">research<\/a> supports these claims. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant found in veggies and fruit. This vitamin can prevent oxidative damage, recycle vitamin E, and hamper the viability and growth of prostate cancer cells.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Cancer research indicates that this vitamin can protect the system against a range of carcinomas. But, more research is necessary to evaluate the vitamin\u2019s full potential and possible antioxidants benefits.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Antioxidants like polyphenols found in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/green-tea-prostate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">green tea<\/a> may also be of use. They can neutralize free radicals and possibly even prevent the damage they cause. At least to a certain extent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The tea has many health benefits and powerful antioxidant activity. The antioxidant effect of polyphenols seems to be bigger than the one in vitamin C. In an average cup of green tea, you are getting anywhere between 50 to 150 mg of antioxidants (polyphenols).\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>Helps prostate cancer patients<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Then there is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/lycopene-prostate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lycopene<\/a>, a tetraterpene compound present in tomatoes and tomato-based products. It is seen as a very strong antioxidant and a non-pro-vitamin A carotenoid.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0753332220306521\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">2020 reports<\/a> show that this antioxidant is a profound, natural, and effective product. It suppresses prostate cancer proliferation and progression.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The antioxidant induces <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/what-is-apoptosis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">apoptosis<\/a> of prostate cancer cells. The results of the study stated that men with a recently diagnosed prostate carcinoma who took lycopene two times per day for three weeks had a decrease in cancer growth and cancer risk. Their PSA level also subsided. All these antioxidants benefits may prove useful for curbing oxidative and DNA damage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Cancer patients should talk to a doctor before taking a vitamin E supplement.

But, there is more to them than meets the eye.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>When you look at the currently available food science, you can see why.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3><strong>1. Support kidney function<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/general-health\/antioxidant-foods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">antioxidant diet<\/a> can have a plethora of uses.
