    Orchic Extract: What We Know (and Don’t) About Its Effects on Men’s Health, Prostate Health, and the Urinary Tract

    Orchic Extract: What We Know (and Don’t) About Its Effects on Men’s Health, Prostate Health, and the Urinary Tract

    Orchic extract (also labeled bovine orchic/testicular extract) is a glandular supplement made from cattle testes. It’s marketed for “testicular support,” libido, and testosterone—but there’s no good clinical evidence in humans that it improves testosterone, sexual function, fertility, prostate health, or urinary symptoms. Major consumer-health monographs conclude that efficacy is unproven and safety is uncertain due to the animal origin

    Orchic Extract: A Natural Boost for Middle-Aged Men’s Health

    Orchic Extract: A Natural Boost for Middle-Aged Men’s Health

    As men reach middle age, maintaining optimal vitality, hormonal balance, and overall wellness becomes increasingly important. While lifestyle, exercise, and diet play a central role, many men look toward natural supplements to support their health. One such supplement is Orchic Extract, derived from bovine testicles, which has been traditionally believed to aid male reproductive and hormonal

    Opium Antidote and Prostate Health: What the Evidence Really Says

    Opium Antidote and Prostate Health: What the Evidence Really Says

    Overview “Opium antidote” isn’t a single herb or supplement. In modern medicine it refers to opioid antagonists—drugs that block opioid receptors and rapidly reverse the effects of opium-derived and synthetic opioids. The best-known is naloxone(used for overdose rescue). Longer-acting antagonists include naltrexone; peripherally acting agents such as methylnaltrexone target opioid side effects in the gut and, in limited contexts, the bladder. Because

    “Opium Antidote” Explained: What It Is, What It Does, and What It Doesn’t Do (Men’s Health, Prostate & Urinary Considerations)

    “Opium Antidote” Explained: What It Is, What It Does, and What It Doesn’t Do (Men’s Health, Prostate & Urinary Considerations)

    When people say “opium antidote,” they almost always mean naloxone—a fast-acting opioid antagonist that reverses life-threatening opioid overdose (from opium, morphine, heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioids). It is not a wellness supplement, it is not taken for general health, and there is no evidence it benefits prostate health or urinary function in everyday use. Naloxone’s job is singular and urgent: restore breathing during an opioid overdose until medical

    Oolong Tea and Prostate Health

    Oolong Tea and Prostate Health

    Abstract Oolong tea (Camellia sinensis), a partially oxidized tea situated between green and black teas, contains catechins (e.g., EGCG) and theaflavins alongside caffeine and L-theanine. Mechanistic and limited clinical evidence suggest tea polyphenols may influence pathways relevant to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)—including inflammation, androgen signaling, and smooth-muscle tone—while very

    Oolong Tea and Men’s Health: What the Evidence Really Says

    Abstract Oolong tea (Camellia sinensis), a partially oxidized tea between green and black, contains caffeine, L-theanine, and a spectrum of polyphenols (catechins, theaflavins, and polymerized polyphenols). Human and population studies link habitual tea intake to cardiometabolic benefits, modest support for weight management, and generally favorable hydration. For prostate-specific outcomes, the most rigorous clinical evidence involves green

    Onion (Allium cepa) and Prostate Health

    Onion (Allium cepa) and Prostate Health

    Abstract Onion (Allium cepa) is a widely consumed allium vegetable rich in flavonols (notably quercetin glycosides), sulfur-containing compounds, prebiotic fructans, and phenolic acids. Across observational studies, higher intake of allium vegetables—including onions—has been associated with a lower risk of several cancers, with suggestive signals for prostate cancer. Preclinical work indicates quercetin and onion-derived sulfur compounds

    Onion and Its Effects on Health

    Onion and Its Effects on Health

    The onion (Allium cepa L.) is one of the most widely consumed vegetables worldwide, used both as a culinary ingredient and a medicinal plant. Beyond its flavor-enhancing role, onion has been studied extensively for its phytochemical composition, antioxidant activity, and potential therapeutic applications. With a nutrient profile rich in sulfur-containing compounds, flavonoids (notably quercetin), saponins, and

    Omega-6 Fatty Acids and Prostate Health: What the Evidence Actually Says

    Omega-6 Fatty Acids and Prostate Health: What the Evidence Actually Says

    Omega-6 fatty acids (chiefly linoleic acid, LA) are essential nutrients that humans must obtain from food. They are precursors to bioactive lipid mediators that influence inflammation, immunity, and cell growth—processes that matter for the prostate. Contrary to popular belief, contemporary evidence does not show that usual dietary LA intake is pro-inflammatory or harmful; indeed, several large syntheses

    Omega-6 Fatty Acids: What They Do, How They Affect Men’s Health and the Prostate, and Smart Ways to Get Them

    Omega-6 Fatty Acids: What They Do, How They Affect Men’s Health and the Prostate, and Smart Ways to Get Them

    Executive Summary (for quick scanning) 1) Biochemistry in Brief: The Omega-6 Family “Omega-6” refers to polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) whose first double bond sits six carbons from the methyl (ω) end. The parent fatty acid is linoleic acid (LA, 18:2n-6). Humans elongate/desaturate LA—inefficiently—into γ-linolenic acid (GLA, 18:3n-6) → DGLA (20:3n-6) → arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4n-6). These are embedded into phospholipid membranes and serve

    Olive (Olea europaea) and Prostate Health: Mechanisms, Evidence, Urinary Implications, and Practical Ingestion Methods

    Olive (Olea europaea) and Prostate Health: Mechanisms, Evidence, Urinary Implications, and Practical Ingestion Methods

    Olive-derived foods and extracts—particularly extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), table olives, and olive leaf polyphenols—contain bioactives (hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein, oleocanthal, tyrosol) with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic effects. Preclinical work shows that hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein can inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in prostate cancer cell lines, partially via androgen-receptor (AR) suppression and attenuation of Akt/STAT3/NF-κB signaling. Human evidence

    Olive (Olea europaea) and Health: A Focus on Men’s Health, Prostate & Urinary Outcomes

    Olive (Olea europaea) and Health: A Focus on Men’s Health, Prostate & Urinary Outcomes

    The olive tree (Olea europaea) yields foods and extracts—extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), table olives, and olive-leaf preparations—rich in monounsaturated fat (primarily oleic acid) and phenolic compounds (notably oleocanthal, hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, and oleuropein). Together, these nutrients and phytochemicals underpin many of the Mediterranean diet’s cardiometabolic and anti-inflammatory benefits, with growing (but uneven) evidence for men’s sexual
