Read More »As you age, the risk of developing a prostate problem increases as much as 80 percent by the time you are 80 years old, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality reports. It is important for you to understand how alternative therapies may affect your prostate health. The leaves, fruit and seeds of the grape were used for medicinal purposes in ancient Greece. Research on grape juice and the effects it has on the prostate has shown varying results. The Prostate Gland The prostate is the male reproductive gland located in front of the rectum and below the urinary bladder. It wraps around the urethra, a tube that carries urine from the bladder to the tip of the penis. The prostate makes a milky substance, known as semen. During sexual climax, muscles squeeze semen from the prostate to carry sperm through the urethra. The risk of developing prostate problems such as prostate cancer or a swollen prostate, known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, increases with age. Many men turn to alternative therapies in hopes of reducing the risk of prostate problems. Grape Juice Some men may use grape juice in hopes of reducing the risk of prostate problems. Grape juice often is made from whole grapes, including the skin and seeds. The juice contains a phytochemical called resveratrol. Resveratrol has been studied for its effect on prostate health. Grape seed extract has been used as a folk remedy to treat various medical conditions such as high blood pressure and in cancer prevention. The skin of the grape has been studied for possible benefits on prostate health. Potential Benefits According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, grape seed extract contains antioxidants that help protect the cells in the body. The risk of prostate disease increases when the prostate is exposed to male sex hormones. Resveratrol has been shown to stop male sex hormone pathways and prevent growth of prostate cancer cells. The National Cancer Institute reports that laboratory experiments using the extract of the skin of muscadine grapes can stop the growth of prostate cancer cells. Preliminary results suggest the extract of the skin of muscadine grapes may benefit the prostate gland, but additional studies must be conducted to evaluate risks that have yet to be determined.
