Amino acid mixture for BPH treatment & prostate health

Amino acid mixture
A mixture of alanine, glutamic acid and glycine has been studied as a possible treatment for BPH with surprising results. After three months of regular use a dosage ranging between 760 mg initially to 380 mg three times per day after the first 2 weeks, 50% of the participants in the study reported it reduced urgency or frequency with less delay starting the urine flow. This translates to a reduction in prostate size and increased urinary function. Although it is not known how the amino acid combination works, it obviously is believed to reduce the amount of swelling in prostate tissue. 18, 19
