This has been very helpful. Very clear, and understandable. Im 74, & take zinc, lycopene, and beta sitosterol every day. My last PSA was 4.9, which I am good with. Thank you for speaking so clearly, and directly. God Bless
Thanks for the information. Very interesting. I don't have prostate cancer but my friend does, so I the link to him. You're doing wonderful work and I wish you all the very best.
Thank you for this information. I'm 71, at the point where I'm faced from the urologist with medication the rest of my life or surgery, I wish neither. I've been on lycopene, Saw Palmetto, zinc and pomegranate at my wifes concern for the past couple of weeks, hopefully this regime will work well, thanks again.
Hats off to you Doc. Your the first to share this type of details around BPH with recommendations, and I’ve been reaching out to a lot of MD’s/ or so called professionals for sometime now. Greatly appreciated.
Hi thanks for your question. I left a link in the description - lycopene at this dose has been studied but is hard to find so we’re working on a version (not quite ready yet but soon!). Thanks for watching!
Best ever description of 5AR inhibitors Thank you from the bottom of my prostate. Iwill follow your food an supplement guide. Keep up the excellent helpful work. Subscribed 😊
Excellent video with great animated graphics along with a clear, concise delivery of information. Keep up the good work! I take 15 mg Zinc Picolinate and 60mg of Beta Sitosterol from Pure Encapsulations. Your LycoPowder will be the highest (750mg) on the market. There must be 1000 tomatoes in every capsule! I am taking 30mg now 3x per day. Your advice is excellent, and I (72 yrs old) am seeing excellent results in symptom improvements. Combined with diet and exercise, this is the natural way to maintain a healthy prostate.
Congrats on your success! Thanks for the feedback! I spent two weeks working on that animation, so really appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing.
@@drdaveclayton It was worth the effort. That animation was very valuable in helping all of us understand the working mechanism of zinc absorption and the conversion process of T to DHT via the 5-alpha enzyme.
Where do you get those doses? Beta-Sitosterol is usually available in doses of 375mg to 1,000mg. This video suggests 60mg per day divided into 3 doses. Lycopene is the opposite extreme. Lycopene comes in doses around 10mg to 25mg and this video suggests 500mg.
@@gregpearson4962 Pure Encapsulations is 60 mg - that is the one I take. You are correct - Lycopene is found 10-30 mg. This doc is marketing a 750 mg product on his website - the link is in the description.
Thanks for this information. Reduction of zinc absorption specifically in prostate cells is new info for me. Any research being done on how to resolve the prostate cell's zip protein disfunction? Getting more zinc into the prostate cells where it can be of benefit seems like it would be a game changer re: prostate issues!
information seem helpful i just ordered your prostate bundle for BPH hope its helps with my prostate problem do you have any more reviews from other people that tried it and helped?
PubMed has a few studies showing that Nettle Root (NOT the leaves) combined with Pygeum Africanum are also beneficial. Not sure about the biomechanism, but I can say that this combo works for me. Could you comment on these supplements for the aprostate. Also, is it safe and effective along with Betasitosterol and lycopene?
Thanks for this very helpful video. I've struggled with BPH issues for many years. I had surgery (TERP) several years ago and wish I hadn't. Frankly, it ultimately has not helped and has caused other problems. I do plan to get Lycopene and Beta Sitosterol supplements. However, I'm a bit frustrated to find the dosages typically available seem to be opposite of what the studies in the video describe. The studies are 60mg/day Beta Sitosterol, and 500mg 2x/day Lycopene. But nearly all of the Lycopene supplements I'm finding are ~50mg capsules, and the Beta Sitosterol are 500mg and higher. Oy.
Thank you for this video. I have been going through some prostate issues myself with an elevated PSA and enlarged prostate. Additionally, thank you for speaking about testosterone as it relates to the prostate and then outside the prostate. I would love to hear more about that, as well as the difference with "free" testosterone. It sounds like you were saying that the supplements increase free testosterone and decrease testosterone in the prostate?
Great video with a lot of very useful information, I didn't know that lycopene was so important for this. I'm taking a supplement with 600mg Saw Palmetto + L-Glutamic Acid, Glycine, and L-Alanine (aminos) along with 15mg zinc picolinate. Adding 100mg Pygeum, which all works well. I'm wondering what the difference is between Saw Palmetto and Beta-Sitosterol though? Would I need to take less Beta-S mg if substituted for S-P ?
I’ve been drinking 6-8oz tomato juice/day based on one of your previous videos; It seems to be helping and working. As far as zinc goes, everyone is different and everyone’s requirements are unique; I’ve found the best (and perhaps only) way to be accurate about dosage is through kinesiology or muscle testing; find a good practitioner and get these levels tested to find your unique dosage….thanks for the great info, Dr. Clayton….
I would suggest drinking a low sodium version - V-8 has a low sodium version. Regular tomato juice has a huge amount of sodium in it. Bad for the blood pressure.
To me it seems likely that if B-sisosterol inhibits binding of DHT to the receptor on the prostate, that it would also inhibit binding of DHT to the same receptors on other muscles. Please prove me wrong, I would like to try it but I do not want to systemically inhibit the binding of DHT to my muscles.
Sir please tell does creatine cause hair loss if you have androgenic alopecia. I have read the rugby player study but if the person is on finasteride or dutasteride will it still effect ❤
I watched a video recently from Thomas Delauer on the Creatine hair loss myth , the guest was dr Peter Attia and NO Creatine does not cause hair loss …..
Thanks to your videos I found out about Lycopene. Very helpful information, since nobody here in Germany has ever heard of its benefits regarding BHP. Unfortunately 500 mg of this supplement is nowhere to be found , the highest dose available is 40 mg which is a far cry from what would be beneficial. Even in the US I couldn‘t find a product online that comes even close to this dosage.😢

Thank you for this very informative, useful video. 👍👍👍 I sure wish you could be my primary care physician, Dr. Dave. When I meet with my doctor to discuss a health problem, he almost always has a prescription drug for me to take for the problem. He's aware of natural medicine when I propose natural treatments; he even advises me when I lead him down that road. Sometimes I get the feeling that he is told to follow a pharmaceutical formulary treatment method by the people who run the medical group. Do you have any advice on how to find a physician who specializes in a combination of traditional, natural, and lifestyle medicine? 🤔
Appreciate the kind words. I like doctors who bill themselves out as Integrative Medicine. They generally have the right approach. Thanks for watching 👍
@@drdaveclayton Very good, I'll be moving soon and need to find a new doctor. I'll look for an integrative medicine doctor during my search. By the way, I ordered both the potassium and lycopene supplements from your site. Look forward to receiving them soon. Thanks again! 😊
Surprised you did not mention Stinging Nettle . Stinging Nettle has also shown tobe excellent at blocking the formation of dihydrotestosterone, and also excellent at disolving the crystalline blockages in small capillaries caused by DHT. May be why Stinging Nettle can have really fast results in bringing relief to BPE sufferers. Also, from what I have read Stinging Nettle is much less stressful to the kidneys than saw palmetto has shown. Suggesting Zinc, Licopene, and Stinging Nettle for good prostate health. Root, and or combined freeze dried root and leaves supplement.
Because Quercetin opens the cell so that Zinc can enter, would the combo of Quercetin and Zinc reduce the size of the prostate. Quercetin works the way insulin does. it is the key to the cell to allow glucose/Zinc into the cell.. high level of glucose in the blood stream is called diabetes.. High levels of Zinc in the blood stream is what i think you're talking about where you just urinate them out.
An excellent presentation and slides particularly from the cell biological aspect. I think the problem here is the fact that there are so many different companies producing these supplements so it would be an immense help to post recommended products for all. Besides one cannot be aware of the purity of many products. Posting your recommended links would also standardise results. Many thanks, Dr R.

Hello Doctor. Yesterday afternoon I found out I got moderate prostate enlargement. My understanding is that these 2 supplements, that you mentioned, don't shrink the prostate, they just improve symptoms; right? Do prostate-shrinking medication give permanent results? or to the results fade once medication intake is discontinued?
Following your link to your supplements, I didn't see a prostate product with beta-sitosterol? Did I just miss it or is there really none offered at your site?
Lol had a problem with getting up every few hours at night to pee. Started taking zinc every day after 60 days could sleep for 6, 7 hours before waking up to pee . 😂 its working for me 65year old man eh 👍
Fair comment Dr but regarding Saw Palmetto,I believe if you suffer from high blood pressure this supplement is not for you as it can raise your blood pressure,am I right on this.🤔

At age 68 I had BPH of 32 grams & a Urolift procedure. Now four years later the prostate grew to 84 grams and will have the TURP procedure done in a few days. If red meat causes BPH, why didn't I have BPH at age four or at a young age?

Hi thanks for your question. I left a link in the description - lycopene at this dose has been studied but is hard to find so we’re working on a version (not quite ready yet but soon!). Thanks for watching!
You indicate 14 mg of Lycopene per day but then I also see 1000 mg per day? Others have indicated.5 mg per kilogram of body weight…? What’s the best dosage per day??? Thanks for your time & information.
HI and thanks for your presentation. Many products of Saw Palmetto seem to contain larger doses of Beta-sistosterol - 400mg, much higher than the 20mg x 3 per day you mentioned. What is your feeling on these higher doses? thanks
I'm not aware of any adverse effects from sterols, and they have many health benefits including lowering cholesterol. You may like this video as well where I cover sterols in more detail - ruclips.net/video/EZbJCQZeElM/видео.html Thanks for the question and for watching :)
Great video. My psa has been .80 for 15 yrs but still have enlarged prostate. I’ve taken these along w good diet/exercise. Will try at doses recommended to see if it helps. Thanks for the insights!
the highest mg dosage of lycopene that i can find on amzn is 50-60 mg. this suggests that i would have to take 8-10 capsules a day. i think that that is going to be tough to do. what am i missing here?
I also wasn't able to find a dose close to what has been studied - it's unfortunate but lycopene is very expensive which may put a limit on what is commercially available outside of a trial. Thanks for watching!
Question: Testosterone in aging men converts to DHT; DHT binds to prostate receptors and stimulates BPH growth; therefore, DHT is bad, and the goal is to 1) inhibit DHT production and 2) block the receptors it binds to. Young men in their twenties have higher testosterone/DHT than aging men in their 60s. Therefore, young men are candidates for BPH way before older men, right?
i took finesteride for a couple of years and saw great improvement in prostate symptoms, urine flow increased and semen discharge returned to normal.. i then developed a lump on my left breast with nipple soreness. stopped finesteride... lump and soreness disappeared. waited a few months, resumed finesteride and lump with soreness reappeared. stopped finisteride second time soreness and lump disappeared. now 3 years later im beginning to see urine flow issues return. was finisteride a female hormone stimmulant?... will your 2 supplements have a similar estrogene reaction?... the other prostate prescriptions we tried had no affect (names uncertain).... thanks.🎉
just a simple non medical question re affects of a dietary supplement the good dr talks about extensively ... the research studies the findings, the efficacy ... are you associated with the dr?...do yo have some monetary interest in these products?.. you seem to be speaking for the dr. ? or are you just poking where you dont belong?...imho
Just my opinion of the multiple times Dave doesn’t reply to certain questions. I’m sure he has a reason and perhaps he will address that if he cares to.

Thank you so much amazing advice, what kind of saw palmetto and mgs. to buy and also licopene which type and mgs. And how many times a day, BPH is high on my behalf can you please help me with this situation of mine. Thank you and blessings always
@@jorgepadilla1062 I currently take Vitamin Shoppe Saw Palmetto which are 160MG per soft jell. I take 3 of those per day, 1 each morning, noon, and evening. Take Gangherb Lycopene/Reishi 1 capsule per day. Lastly I take Pygeum 400 MG from Swanson. 2 capsules daily, 1 morning and 1 evening. Hope this helps you. 🤠
So I checked on AI on how many Roma tomatoes I would need to consume each day to get 500mg of Lycopene, you would need to consume 161 Roma tomatoes, would anyone be able to recommend other ways to get 500 mg of Lycopene daily ?
A confusing thing is that the dosages mentioned in this video are way different than typical doses available on the market. Beta-Sitosterol is usually available in doses of 375mg to 1,000mg. This video suggests 60mg per day divided into 3 doses. Lycopene is the opposite extreme. Lycopene comes in doses around 10mg to 25mg and this video suggests 500mg.
My question too! Makes me wonder/worry if that 600mg lycopene figure is correct. Unfortunately Dr. Clayton doesn't appear to be responding to any questions on here.
Hi thanks for your question. I left a link in the description - lycopene at this dose has been studied but is hard to find so we’re working on a version (not quite ready yet but soon!). Thanks for watching!
500 mg Lycopene seems far more than anything I can find online. Most are sold in increments of 50mg or less. Did I see that correctly - are you saying 500 mg Lycopene - twice/day??

Hi thanks for your question. I left a link in the description - lycopene at this dose has been studied but is hard to find so we’re working on a version (not quite ready yet but soon!). Thanks for watching!
@@drdaveclaytonThank you
Are ZIP's the same for all cells, not just in the prostate?
a Zinc Ionophore like a Quercetin sup can assist in passing thru the cell membrane
What form of zinc would you suggest? I have both zinc picolinate and zinc glycinate on hand. Thanks!
Picolinate is reported to be highly absorbable. I take 15 mg daily. Pure Encapsulations ZINC15.
I recommend Picolinate - most easily absorbed.
@@michaelffortezinc bounded with amino acids is best
It’s not so much about a large prostate squeezing the urethra than a still prostrate ( not big) influence flow.
You indicate 14 mg of Lycopene per day but then I also see 1000 mg per day? Others have indicated.5 mg per kilogram of body weight…? What’s the best dosage per day??? Thanks for your time & information.
I will try the Lycopene and B-Sitosterol and let you know in 4-6 mos. Thanks for the info.
Sounds good!
It worked great for me. Noticed a change within days
Finasteride has side effects. Are there any risks with beta-sitosterol?
HI and thanks for your presentation. Many products of Saw Palmetto seem to contain larger doses of Beta-sistosterol - 400mg, much higher than the 20mg x 3 per day you mentioned. What is your feeling on these higher doses? thanks
I'm not aware of any adverse effects from sterols, and they have many health benefits including lowering cholesterol. You may like this video as well where I cover sterols in more detail - ruclips.net/video/EZbJCQZeElM/видео.html Thanks for the question and for watching :)
Heard that tomate paste is better than lycopine in supplement
Good point! I always go for food first as well. Nature knows best :)
Great video. My psa has been .80 for 15 yrs but still have enlarged prostate. I’ve taken these along w good diet/exercise. Will try at doses recommended to see if it helps. Thanks for the insights!
Thank you for watching!
the highest mg dosage of lycopene that i can find on amzn is 50-60 mg. this suggests that i would have to take 8-10 capsules a day. i think that that is going to be tough to do. what am i missing here?
I also wasn't able to find a dose close to what has been studied - it's unfortunate but lycopene is very expensive which may put a limit on what is commercially available outside of a trial. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the information is 3 mg of zinc too much God bless
How High is too high for datly Zinc intake, is 22mg too high. What is excessively high?
The B-Sitosterol I see for sale in from 160mg to 400mg, are those values too high ?
What do you suggest if I can't find your recommended mgs ? ?
So if red light therapy activates the crab cycle.
It would be bad for your enlarged prostate?
Not sure if anyone has studied red light therapy for prostate. Interesting question! Thanks for watching!
Crab cycle 😆
Crab cycle 😆
If lycopene and saw palmetto lowers my DHT, wouldn’t it lower my libido (sexual function) the way finasteride does?
Question: Testosterone in aging men converts to DHT; DHT binds to prostate receptors and stimulates BPH growth; therefore, DHT is bad, and the goal is to 1) inhibit DHT production and 2) block the receptors it binds to. Young men in their twenties have higher testosterone/DHT than aging men in their 60s. Therefore, young men are candidates for BPH way before older men, right?
i took finesteride for a couple of years and saw great improvement in prostate symptoms, urine flow increased and semen discharge returned to normal.. i then developed a lump on my left breast with nipple soreness. stopped finesteride... lump and soreness disappeared. waited a few months, resumed finesteride and lump with soreness reappeared. stopped finisteride second time soreness and lump disappeared. now 3 years later im beginning to see urine flow issues return. was finisteride a female hormone stimmulant?... will your 2 supplements have a similar estrogene reaction?... the other prostate prescriptions we tried had no affect (names uncertain).... thanks.🎉
Dr. Dave is not going to answer medical questions most likely for potential liability issues. I wouldn't either if I was a MD.
just a simple non medical question re affects of a dietary supplement the good dr talks about extensively ... the research studies the findings, the efficacy ... are you associated with the dr?...do yo have some monetary interest in these products?.. you seem to be speaking for the dr. ? or are you just poking where you dont belong?...imho
Just my opinion of the multiple times Dave doesn’t reply to certain questions. I’m sure he has a reason and perhaps he will address that if he cares to.
I didn't see the product to order ?
Lycopene at this dose has been studied but is hard to find so we’re working on a version (ready soon!). Please visit www.shopdaveclaytonmd.com for more info. Thanks for watching!
@drdaveclayton Dear Dave Clayton I'm facing a problem 16 PSA biopsy advised . Help !
@@user-ok5oh6dp3l Before getting a biopsy, get an MRI.
Great info 48% is more than 2x 23% results of finesteride😅
WHAT TYPE OF ZINC
Thx Dr I just found out I have a enlarged prostate 🤦🏼
Thank you; I am taking both (Saw Palmetto - Lycopene) for BPH. PSA 3.6 to 6.8 up and down over 2 years, with labs every 6 months. Age 69
Awesome. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Thank you so much amazing advice, what kind of saw palmetto and mgs. to buy and also licopene which type and mgs. And how many times a day, BPH is high on my behalf can you please help me with this situation of mine. Thank you and blessings always
@@jorgepadilla1062 I currently take Vitamin Shoppe Saw Palmetto which are 160MG per soft jell. I take 3 of those per day, 1 each morning, noon, and evening. Take Gangherb Lycopene/Reishi 1 capsule per day. Lastly I take Pygeum 400 MG from Swanson. 2 capsules daily, 1 morning and 1 evening. Hope this helps you. 🤠
Thanks for watching and for the question. I discuss doses toward the end of the video and left links in the description. Hope this helps! Good luck!
Is lycophene available over the counter,or you have to get fromm food source?
50 or 500 mg of lycopene daily?
So I checked on AI on how many Roma tomatoes I would need to consume each day to get 500mg of Lycopene, you would need to consume 161 Roma tomatoes, would anyone be able to recommend other ways to get 500 mg of Lycopene daily ?
A confusing thing is that the dosages mentioned in this video are way different than typical doses available on the market. Beta-Sitosterol is usually available in doses of 375mg to 1,000mg. This video suggests 60mg per day divided into 3 doses. Lycopene is the opposite extreme. Lycopene comes in doses around 10mg to 25mg and this video suggests 500mg.
My question too! Makes me wonder/worry if that 600mg lycopene figure is correct. Unfortunately Dr. Clayton doesn't appear to be responding to any questions on here.
Been trying to find 500MG tablets/capsules of Lycopene, and nobody has it. Not even amazon. The highest MG they have is 60
Hi thanks for your question. I left a link in the description - lycopene at this dose has been studied but is hard to find so we’re working on a version (not quite ready yet but soon!). Thanks for watching!
I started getting improvement IMMEDIATELY upon taking 3-6 mgs of BORON.
500 mg Lycopene seems far more than anything I can find online. Most are sold in increments of 50mg or less. Did I see that correctly - are you saying 500 mg Lycopene - twice/day??

Is it the blocking of free testosterone or testosterone? thanks
This zinc should be bounded with the amino acids.
