Prostatitis is usually caused by bacterial and nonbacterial pathological factors. Some studies have shown that in smoking men when the vitamin in the blood is at a low level, the risk of prostatitis is greatly increased. Here is a summary of the following nutrients and vitamins that have adjuvant therapeutic effects on prostatitis:
Selenium
Selenium is an indispensable trace element of the human body, a very strong antioxidant substance, and also an essential component of glutathione peroxidase. The content of selenium in the prostate is particularly high, which can remove the oxygen free radicals in the prostate and prevent the prostate cells from oxidative damage. At the same time, it can inhibit the damage of inflammatory substances in the prostate so that the prostate can be restored to health as soon as possible.
Zinc
It is one of the microelements and nutrient concentrated in the prostate. The content of zinc in the prostate is one of the highest zinc content tissues in the human body. The content of zinc in semen is more than 100 times that in the serum. The normal prostatic fluid has the function of killing bacteria isolated from the prostate of prostate patients, and the substance that has the bactericidal effect is zinc protein.
In addition, zinc is nearly a hundred enzyme-dependent catalysts, including superoxide dismutase with super antioxidant effect. Without zinc, these enzymes cannot play a corresponding role.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a kind of water-soluble vitamin. According to the research of melon health house, the content of vitamin C in the body is significantly lower than the normal level under the conditions of smoking and staying up late. Special experiments have been done, and it is found that after smoking a cigarette, the loss of vitamin C in the human body reaches 25mg, and staying up late at one time will also destroy 10mg of vitamin C so that vitamin C can resist. Toxic and harmful substances in smoke damage the prostate.
B vitamins
B vitamins are a large family, including B1, B2, B6, B12, folic acid, niacin, pantothenic acid, etc. Sufficient B vitamins can accelerate not only the inactivation of alcohol but also reduce the damage of alcohol to the prostate. At the same time, B vitamins can accelerate the metabolism of substances in the body, increase the metabolism of the body, increase the blood return of the prostate, and also improve the symptoms of anterior glands.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. Vitamin D can promote the differentiation of prostate cells, increase the production of immune cells, effectively phagocytize and remove the harmful bacteria and microorganisms and the toxic and harmful substances, so as to reduce the symptoms of prostatitis and improve the symptoms of urinary tract obstruction. The best way to supplement vitamin D is to bask in the sun properly.
Lycopene
Lycopene is one of the carotenoids. Its antioxidant capacity is 100 times that of vitamin E. it is one of the most powerful antioxidants known in nature so far. Lycopene preferentially gathers in the three tissues of the testis, adrenal gland, and prostate, through its strong anti-oxidation. The function of oxidation and free radical scavenging is to protect the prostate gland of men, so as to improve the symptoms of prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia.
Generally speaking, vitamin supplements can play a very limited role in the treatment of prostatitis patients, so if the patients want to recover health as soon as possible, it is better to choose Chinese herbal medicine to treat.
Herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill can not only play a very good therapeutic effect on prostatitis but also help patients to regulate the whole body and improve immunity, so as to achieve the effect of eliminating diseases and enhance the immunity to prevent the recurrence of prostatitis.
Of course, in addition to some of the nutrients listed above that are helpful for prostate diseases, there are many other phytochemicals, which also have very good antioxidant effects and have very good protective effects on the prostate, such as anthocyanin, resveratrol, lutein, zeaxanthin, etc.
