\"ThisIt\u2019s bitter and chewy but according to a new study in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences<\/em> it shrinks your prostate on a cellular level.<\/p>\n

Enlarged prostate is a condition where prostate cells grow and multiply without any biological use, leading to uncomfortable and sometimes serious urinary symptoms.<\/p>\n

A natural compound called cucurbitacin B (Cu B) is already known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant powers. The study aimed to see if it could help in stopping the unwanted growth of prostate cells too.<\/p>\n

After applying the Cu B to BPH-1 cells (a type of cell taken from human prostate tissue) the researchers checked how the cells and their constituent proteins responded.<\/p>\n

Their findings were promising.<\/p>\n

\n
\n1.\tCu B prevented the excessive growth of prostate cells. <\/p>\n

2.\tIt also promoted apoptosis in the prostate, which means the cells self-destruct. This is a natural way for the body to get rid of cells that aren’t needed or are behaving abnormally, like cancerous ones.\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

To understand how Cu B does all this, the researchers examined specific genes and proteins related to cell growth and survival. They discovered that Cu B makes more of the proteins p53 and MDM2 in the cells.<\/p>\n

P53 is like a guardian in the cell, detecting when something goes wrong and stopping the cell from growing or causing it to die if it’s damaged.<\/p>\n

MDM2 is a protein that helps control p53’s activity.<\/p>\n

This suggests that Cu B might help to boost this natural safety mechanism in prostate cells.<\/p>\n

Another interesting finding was that Cu B also affects other substances released by the cells. It decreases the level of COX-2, a protein involved in inflammation and pain, suggesting that it might also help reduce the inflammation associated with enlarged prostate.<\/p>\n

The problem is that, while cucurbitacin B is natural, it is also extremely bitter, and mostly found in wild vegetable species or in less commonly consumed parts of plants.<\/p>\n

It is also not currently available as a supplement because scientists believe its ability to cause cell death might make it toxic to humans.<\/p>\n

The good news is that there is an all-natural way to shrink enlarged prostate that is much more effective than cucurbitacin B. Just follow the baby steps explained here\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
