Hi all, I'm 67 yrs. old and hadn't had any issues with my prostate until about 3 months ago, started with slower stream and then some burning then constant urge to void and getting up 5 times a night. I tried saw palmetto, nettle, pygeum, and pumpkin seed oil.No effect! ACV helped a little, then I read about bee pollen, propolis and royal jelly, boron, olive leaf extract and their effect on infections and testosterone, it seems that enlarged prostate is part bacterial and part hormonal.
Anyway, this is what cured me.
I then learned that you have to cycle Boron 2 weeks on and 1 week off to prevent your hormones getting out of balance, I've been doing this with no ill effects and you can cut the dosage I'm on 3mgs now. You can take all of these long term as they are all food.
Note: the effects of Boron on testosterone are really amazing. I lost 14 lbs of fat and gained muscle and feel strong.
Hope this helps someone.

Jerry G,I agree; you can cut the dosage; your 3 mg dose sounds good; and you can take all of these, and long term too, as they are all food.
Congratulations on your success in controlling your BPH and prostatitis!
I did read somewhere that Boron decreases your SHBG, and therefore increases your Free Testosterone.

Congrats on your success!
What you're saying is **amazing** because you have succeeded where I seemed to have failed.
I used to buy and take Boron, in 3 mg-sized capsules, I used to take one capsule a day. However, after about 90 days - or was it 180 days? - I stopped taking Boron, because I felt it wasn't doing anything for me.
May I have a couple of questions for you?
How did you do it? That positive effect on your Testosterone and Estradiol is exactly what I'm looking for. One possibility is that it worked for you was because you worked your way up to 9 mg for one month?
Another possibility is that you did cycle Boron, 2 weeks on and 1 week off... maybe that was the key in your success?
Another possibility is the product itself... did you get your Boron in those standardized 3 mg capsules that health food stores tend to sell? Or did you buy your Boron in bulk?

Hi RB,It could be that I took boron for a month and increased from 3mgs to 9mgs. From what I've read if you take it for too long or too much and don't cycle it 2wks on and 1 wk off it will do the opposite by increasing estridol and decreasing testosterone.
Also, the one I took is a complex containing (boron citrate/aspartate/glycinate @3mg capsule. It also has 25mg of vitamin B2 to help absorb it.
Thanks for reading my post and I hope it helps I know the symptoms of this condition are no fun. Also the bee products did give me some relief before I started the boron. But it really improved after I started it.

Update : Im still taking all of my original post but have switched from boron to maca a 6x extract on amazon it balances hormones in men and women you only have to take 1/4 tsp. once a day because it's so concentrated.Also after doing more research because I still had a slight burning while urinating once in awhile, the article I read was saying that most men in my generation of" free love" have candida infection of the prostate and bladder that antibiotics can't touch! The natural treatment I found is 500 mgs of Monolaurin made from coconuts 2x a day morning and night for 30 days it worked! No burning and my stream improved also, went from good to very good . Hope this helps someone!Replied by WC from NYC on 09/12/2024

The maca I'm taking now is Inca's Gold black maca and I've added Terrasoul Red Reishi mushroom powder . The dosage you have to adjust by the effects, I take 1/4 teaspoon of maca and 1/3 tsp. of the Red Reishi .Replied by jerry from yucaipa on 10/14/2024
