Beta Sitosterol
“When taken at high doses and along with other sterols, beta-sitosterol has been shown to reduce levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by reducing the amount of cholesterol the body absorbs. This may inhibit the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Thus, it works like the prescription meds that are a1-receptor blocking agents(improve urine flow and reduce bladder obstruction) and 5a-reductase inhibitors There is also some evidence that beta-sitosterol may boost immunity.” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1046/j.1464-410X.1997.t01-1-00362.x
Vitamin D3
“There are considerable data indicating the importance of vitamin D signaling in prostate cancer. Vitamin D signaling is a plausible target for the treatment of established cancers – either as vitamin D agents alone or such agents combined with other antineoplastic agents.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5952478/
Chromium
“Chromium picolinate, specifically, has been shown to reduce insulin resistance and to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Dietary chromium is poorly absorbed. Chromium levels decrease with age. “
Pechova, A., & Pavlata, L. (2007). Chromium as an essential nutrient: a review.
Iodine
“The functional relevance of iodine for the prostate gland is still unknown, but data from our group have shown anti-growth effects in models of prostatic diseases” “…studies in benign prostate hyperplasia or cancer prostate cells that show (a) I− or I2 supplementation prevents prostate hyperplasia induced by sexual hormones..” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3883964/
Selenium
Some preclinical studies suggest that selenium supplementation can slow prostate growth and help prevent prostate cancer by inhibiting cell proliferation and stimulating apoptosis (El-Bayoumy et al., 1991, 2006).
A clinical trial found that a daily supplement of selenium 200 mcg was safe and enough to lower the risk of prostate cancer (Clark et al., 1996).
It was been related that selenoproteins are likely implicated in the protective effects of selenium against prostate cancer (Rayman, 2005).
Zinc
“It is evident from this study that BPH or prostate carcinoma may be associated with a reduction in the levels of tissue zinc, plasma zinc, and an increase in urine zinc/creatinine.”
Curcumin
“Compared to the finasteride group as positive group, the curcumin group showed similarly protective effect on BPH in histopathologic morphology, prostate volume (50mg/kg daily in rats).”

Grape Seed Extract
“GSE significantly inhibited the growth of PC-3 cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, but had only a mild inhibitory effect on the kidney cells.
GSE inhibits the growth of prostate cancer PC-3 cells and can be used as a new drug for the treatment of prostate cancer.”
Pygeum Extract
Pygeum africanum, which is widely used in Europe and USA for treatment of BPH, has a significant role in regulation of prostate cancer both in vitro and in vivo and therefore may be a useful supplement for people at high risk for developing prostate cancer.
Inhibits BPH through the inhibition of prostatic fibroblast proliferation in response to growth factors, antiinflmmatory activity, inhibition of 5 a-reductase, and inhibition of prolactiv levels and consquently blacked accumulation of cholesteral in prostate (Cappasso et al., 2003). A meta-analysis of randomized control trials of 1562 men found moderately large improvements in noctural peeing (-19%) and peak urine flow increased 23% https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17709901
