Vitamins, which are organic molecules essential for the proper functioning of our body, play a role in the functions of our cells.
As we are deficient in these substances, our body can manifest various symptoms and become ill, so it is necessary to consume them through vitamins and vitamin supplements. The latter should always be taken under medical supervision to prevent excess vitamins in our body, also known as hypervitaminosis.
Today, we’ll share information about a powerful vitamin that scientists have examined and found to be helpful in reducing the risk of prostate ca:ncer and other types of ca:ncer.
What do we know about prostate ca:ncer?
Prostate can:cer is a type of ca:ncer that develops in the prostate, a gland located in the male reproductive system, just below the bladder and in front of the rectum. The prostate produces part of the seminal fluid that transports and nourishes sperm during ejaculation. Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of c:an:cer in men, but with early detection and proper treatment, it is usually highly treatable.
What are the risk factors for prostate ca:nce:r?
As you know, can:ce:r is a multifactorial disease and has several risk factors. Some of these are listed below:
– Age: The risk of prostate c:ancer increases with age. Most cases are diagnosed in men over 65 years of age.
– Family history: If you have first-degree relatives (father, brother) with a history of prostate can:ce:r, your risk may be higher.
