Towards this goal, over a period of 6 months, 199 prostate cancer patients with an average age of 74 years received either a capsule containing various micronutrients &#8211; pomegranate, green tea, broccoli and turmeric &#8211; or an ineffective placebo. The result of the study was a reduction of the PSA levels in the micronutrient group, thus suggesting a favorable effect of this dietary supplement on the course of prostate cancer.
