Olive Leaf Extract [Oleuropein] ?

[d3is4me]

Hi all

Does anyone have knowledge of any negative effects of olive leaf extract on ADT

treatment. I have read conflicting studies on Rats re increase and decrease

Testosterone

[pjoshea13]

ADT wil shut down gonadal production of testosterone [T]. The target for castrate T is <20 ng/dL. It is prudent to check that T is in the castrate range.

Note that adrenal sources of androgen are not affected by classic ADT, whereas Abiraterone inhibits all T production.

It is highly unlikely that any supplement will affect T in a meaningful way while on ADT. You can always verify that with a T test.

I’ve been taking olive leaf extract without issues since before my PCa diagnosis. It has a very mild antibiotic effect, and I take it to help control my diverticulitis.
