A promising remedy for prostate cancer?
Science has good news for men. A recent study, published in The Journal of Urology, shows that a supplement containing the herbs saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) and reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) slows the growth of prostate cancer.
The study tested the effects of the herbs on 69 men with prostate cancer over 33 months. One year into the study, 88 per cent of the men had reduced levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), an enzyme that indicates spreading of the disease.
