Vitamin D & Prostate size

Anyone knows of the effects of vitamin D3 on the prostate size and BPH ??
I came across this astonishing article

pluchino.brc.cam.ac.uk/labwiki/resources/Publications_pdf/Adorini%20et%20al.%2017241782.pdf

it sais that vitamin D receptor analogs decrease prostate size and drop testosterone as efficiently as finasteride does, albeit through a different path.

read it

im gonna jump back on it to see what it does to my prostate in the long run
tired of antibiotics

Vit D is a 5ar inhibitor as well is it not?

edit: I sweat I ran accross a legit study yesterday that stated this but cant seem to find it.

when I see posts like these I go nuts. I challenge every one to show me a single case where using vit D caused pfs like condition like: low energy, gynecomastia, ED or libido loss. Nothing like this. On the contrary it improves PFS symptoms. I have been using it since 2009 and it improved me a lot. My total and free T improved and my sensitive nipples calmed down. Now

1-Either Vit D is not 5AR inhibitor or if it is then let me say Fin, DUT or SP did not affect us because of being 5AR inhibitor but because of their molecular similarity to testosterone.
OR
2-Since Vit D3 is processed in kidneys (kidneys get raw vitamin D from liver) then maybe fin or SP have caused some subclinical damage to our liver. Why both Vitamin D and fin are 5 AR inhibitor but one causes damage and the other causes relief is beyond my perception.

Spstriken friend has fallen hair with vitamin D?

Sorry about this post. I think it was actually a MCT (Coconut Oil) study that I was thinking of…

so now coconut oil is a 5ar inhibitor? it seems like this keeps popping up over and over. i also read here acai berries are 5ar inhibitors. I used to drink acai regularly for years before fin and never had anything but benefits. Also, I use coconut oil now and enjoy it. I am just confused about this I guess.

yes acai berries are 5ar inhibitors. I have seen some cases pfs like from acai berries. It depends what form you use. Almost all SP related cases caused after using concentrated form(90% standardized) in Gel caps not from powdered form.
About Coconut oil I don’t think so. People in India, eat coconut, makes sweets from Coconut, use coconut oil in food and apply it on their head and you see the population of India :mrgreen: .

I drank it puree’d in its most pure form, for years, and never had anything but positive effects … this is 100% fact … so clearly, it is much different than fin and saw palmetto, and not capable of causing the same effects, at least not in my case, since I never had any issues whatsoever until i used fin, and was destroyed very quickly from it

ok we need to stay on topic here, is vitamin D 5AR inhibitor or not?
No body proved it to be 5 AR inhibitor so far. I don’t believe so called studies. Mostly are engineered in favor of big pharmas, for example, there are many studies which prove saw palmetto not a 5AR inhibitor but now we know by our experience it is a very potent 5AR inhibitor.

please, if you have the opportunity, post some examples to me about acai berries causing this syndrome … this is completely different than anything in my experience, thanks

I wish you had asked me this two years back. I have been active in different forums and I got one pm from a guy who had 100% PFS after using wieght loss formula which containd AB. Any way read this

compounds extracted from plants that provide beneficial effects to the body. Acai berry, the indigenous fruit from Brazil, has been found to be rich in phytosterols. Sterols are presently being used to relieve symptoms related to prostate enlargement. Acai is in the same family of Saw Palmetto, a common herbal treatment for prostate disorders.
A study reveals that an ethanol extract of acai fruit peel inhibited testosterone 5-alpha reductase. In patients with an enlarged prostate

Any way we are discussing here vit D not acai berry. So please search your self or if you are eating Acai berries keep eating it.

i know what you are discussing here…

i read your materials, and i am not sold on this at all, especially based on my years of experience, but who knows

anyways, good luck with the vitamin d
