New Member - Vitamin E Status?

[Guest guest]

Hi Folks, I’m a new member with three prostate biopsies over the last 18 months due to a rising PSA level. What is the current beliefs regarding vitamin E? I also have a fib and vitamin E seems to be very good for heart related issues. I’ve read where there are multiple types of E and some are “good” and some are “bad” regarding prostate issues. Anybody have a link to better information? I’d really like to get back on E to help with the a fib, etc. Thanks and look forward to this group. Dave in Portland, OR

Dave,

Gamma Tocopherol and Alpha and Gamma Tocotrienol, have been shown in

some studies to help in PCa.

If you Google:

prostate cancer " SELECT study "

you'll get a rundown of the most-recent large-study results. Vitamin E looked

good in 2008, not so good in 2011.
