  Author(s): Claus Riedl*
  
  Background: The present study investigated the effects of a micronutrient combination with proven impact on prostate cell metabolism and growth with regard to PSA dynamics. Methods: In an open single-arm multicenter study, 46 men with different baseline situations were recruited: 16 men with constantly elevated PSA values and negative prostate biopsy (group A), and 30 men with low risk prostate cancer on Active Surveillance (Group B). Results: In group A, 12 out of 16 men (75%) showed a decrease of PSA after 6 months from an average 9.26 to an average 8.84 ng/ml (4.5%), whereas in group B, PSA level decreased in 16, increased in 12 men, and remained unchanged in 1 man. The average PSA in group B dropped from 7.47 to 6.82 ng/ml (8.6%).Both PSA decreases were not statistically significant. Conclusio.. Read More»
