Neem (Azadirachta indica), often referred to as the “village pharmacy,” is a cornerstone of traditional Ayurvedic and Unani medicine. Native to the Indian subcontinent and now cultivated worldwide, neem has been used for millennia for its potent medicinal properties. Virtually every part of the neem tree—leaves, bark, seeds, flowers, and oil—has been employed in various

Abstract Nattokinase is a potent fibrinolytic enzyme extracted from Natto, a traditional Japanese fermented soybean dish. While most research has focused on its cardiovascular benefits, emerging studies suggest that nattokinase may have a supportive role in prostate health, urinary function, and inflammation reduction. Introduction Nattokinase, derived from the bacterium Bacillus subtilis during soy fermentation, has long been studied for its ability

Abstract N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is a widely studied antioxidant and mucolytic agent with growing clinical relevance in urology. Originally used for acetaminophen toxicity and respiratory disorders, NAC has shown promise in modulating oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis—key pathways implicated in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, and prostate cancer. 1. Introduction N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is a
