Best for BPH

[Calm Logic]

It's all very questionable. Of course, the problem with an N=1 study with PSA, is that PSA can go down for all kinds of reasons. So you have to go on relatively subjective symptoms. At least with GLPs, the scale is very objective and available all the time, though there's still room for cofactors.

At least with something like Cialis 5 mg daily, you are likely helping both your symptoms and your cardiovascular system.

Like I got turned onto glutathione to treat my elevated liver enzymes (after some regrettable oral steroid use). But I don't know how much it helped vs. oral NAC or just the liver healing itself (which it does very well on its own). But with glutathione and NAC, they can help with all kinds of things, to some degree.

So along with an oral medication for prostate symptoms, I would at least try maybe KPV since that works on various inflammation and seems widely available for a reason. And maybe Prostamax for at least shits and giggles:

Agent Primary Systemic Effect BPH / Urinary Symptom Relief Human Evidence / Studies Glutathione Master Antioxidant / Phase II Detox Reduces oxidative stress and secondary inflammation in prostate tissue. Human trials show GSH deficiency correlates with increased prostate risk. KPV Systemic Anti-inflammatory (NF-κB inhibitor) Blocks the inflammatory "master switch" (NF-κB) to reduce prostate swelling and nerve-related pain. Clinical data on IBD/UC (anti-inflammatory); theoretical for urology. Prostamax Prostate-Specific Bioregulator Normalizes protein synthesis; reduces edema and prostate volume. 25+ years of Russian clinical data; 30-40% improvement in IPSS scores. Vesugen Vascular Endothelial Repair Improves pelvic microcirculation; reduces vascular congestion in the prostate. Russian clinical trials in aging patients for atherosclerosis and vascular health. Pinealon Neuro-Bioregulator (CNS) Addresses nocturia by normalizing the circadian rhythm and pineal signaling. Studies show 28% improvement in cognitive/rhythm-dependent tasks. TA1 Thymic / Immune Modulator Clears chronic low-grade prostatitis; targets the autoimmune/infectious trigger. FDA Orphan Drug status; extensive data on immune senescence in humans. Epitalon Pineal / Telomerase Activator Regulates melatonin production; reduces nighttime urinary frequency. 15-year human study showing improved organ function and reduced mortality.

By the way, someone at the Peppy's forum mentioned the probiotic Lactobacillus Crispatus for BPH.

Thank you. I was not thinking about probiotics as a treatment course. I put LC for BPH into Brave AI and it also came up with studies for other probiotics. What other probiotics have shown anti-inflammatory effects in BPH?

I have tried the Prostamax a couple of years ago, I think from PS, did not do anything for me. This is the Khavinson bioregulator from Russia, I had better luck with it. It's lypholized just like all the others, but it's administered IM instead of SubQ. You could probably use it either way. I forgot, it's called Samprost, here's a link https://peptide-products.com/

"We regret to inform you that this product ( SAMPROST 5mg ) is either temporarily out of stock or not in stock in the desired quantity."

Do they ship to US? Site only has price in euros.

As a IM, where is it injected and is standard 8mm needle used?

That was just one link i found so you could tell what to look for, I think if you start searching, you will find a supplier to send to the US. I got mine a couple of years ago and I think they were about 35$ US a box at the time but I don't remember the website. They came from Russia and took about a month. For IM, I inject in my ass with a 1 or 1 1/2" needle. You could probably inject SubQ with no issue, It would just take longer to do its job. If I run across any links related to this, I will post on here, I don't think I can DM you.

Here is the link where I ordered from https://shopmybuy.com/samprost-prostate-extract-lyophilisate-for-solution-preparation-10-vials/ and another one that says international shipping https://e-peptide.com/shop-informat...ide-prostatilen-for-prostate-treatment-detail

I tried Prostamax for a while but stopped for the time being. I didn't notice any difference with it, but progress can be really slow with BPH, so I can't say definitively that it wasn't working.

The urologist started me on tamsulosin (Flomax) after the BPH diagnosis, and added in finasteride (Proscar, also known as Propecia) at my follow-up appointment. I'll be going in for another visit in a few months, and the urologist stressed that it can take months to see real progress.

That first link also has suppositories. Don't inject, BOOF your peptides!

My said the same thing - up to 6 months for any lessening of BPH symptoms. I am just impatient (and tired of waking up to go to every night).

What dosage?

5 mg=1vial, recon with 1ml bac water just like any peptide and inject IM every day, 2 boxes is 20 day worth etc.

Flomax gave me the drygasms. I switched to alfuzosin. No drygasms, but slightly less effective. But it is hard to put all the blame on it since reta makes me pee air more too.

Lipids and A1C are good. One of the reasons why onset of BPH was surprising to me & PCP. Buddy uses finasteride, but i already have some cognitive difficulties and not sure I want to mess with something that can make that worse.

Are we looking at a mix or stack of KPV & PT?

Not against trying Prostomax, just need to find where to get it in a kit (I know I am not yet eligible to discuss sourcing, so this is not a backhanded attempt to engage in that discussion).

Your A1C only gives a 3 month avg on your blood sugar (glucose) and not insulin resistance. You may want to get an Insulin Resistance Test done. Most Dr's just order A1C test and not look at insulin resistance. You can have a normal A1C but have elevated insulin.

PCP ordered CMP, lipid panel, HbA1c,fCBC, electrolytes & PSA. He refuses to order IGF1 because "we don't have any indication that your growth hormone is abnormal clinically thus no true indication to test for it."

Apparently research shows 3 grams of Glycine taken 60 mins before bed can help reduce early morning pee sessions

Always Waking Up at 2AM to Pee? This Little-Known Amino Acid Might Be the Key to Finally Sleeping Through the Night

Nocturia — the need to wake up and urinate in the middle of the night — is more than just a harmless nuisance.

boxlifemagazine.com

should be able to grab a bag of Glycine powder off Amazon or eBay etc

it tastes sweet so you can flavour your beverages

plus it combines with NAC to strongly enhance production of Glutathione - the body's master antioxidant reducing inflamation

Just did a bit of research on enlarged prostate and came across Tertomotide (GV1001) peptide. Never heard of it before. Anyone try it?
