- 01QuercetinLimited82% match
Quercetin is a flavonoid with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity that reduced pelvic pain and symptom scores versus placebo in a small randomized trial of category III chronic prostatitis.
SuggestedQuercetin 500 mg capsules taken twice daily, often paired with bromelain for absorption - 02Bee PollenLimited78% match
Standardized flower or rye pollen extract (the type studied as Cernilton) appears to relax prostatic smooth muscle and dampen local inflammation, easing pain and urinary symptoms in several CP/CPPS trials.
SuggestedStandardized rye or flower pollen extract (Cernilton-type), 1 tablet two to three times daily - 03BromelainLimited60% match
Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme with anti-inflammatory effects that was combined with quercetin in CP/CPPS research, mainly to enhance flavonoid absorption and tissue activity.
SuggestedBromelain capsules taken alongside quercetin between meals - 04ZincLimited52% match
Zinc is highly concentrated in prostatic fluid as part of its natural antibacterial defense, and prostatitis is associated with lower prostatic zinc, but supplementation has not been shown to treat CP/CPPS.
SuggestedZinc picolinate or zinc citrate, modest daily dose - 05Saw PalmettoLimited42% match
Saw palmetto is often tried for prostate symptoms via 5-alpha-reductase and anti-inflammatory effects, but controlled studies in chronic prostatitis / CPPS have generally not shown meaningful benefit.
SuggestedLiposterolic saw palmetto extract standardized to 85 to 95 percent fatty acids - 06Turmeric/CurcuminLimited40% match
Curcumin downregulates NF-kB and inflammatory cytokines that are elevated in chronic pelvic inflammation, providing a plausible anti-inflammatory rationale for adjunctive use.
SuggestedCurcumin phytosome or piperine-enhanced curcumin with a meal
